MODESELEKTOR Dating Is In China

12 EP Black Vinyl

While Modeselektors recent Extended mixtape is populated with all sorts of musical experiments, even the duos most ardent fans might be surprised by Dating Is In China, which is quite possibly the most overtly pop track theyve ever created. A collaboration with Argentinian artist (and Monkeytown regular) Catnapp, its also the title track of the third EP released in Extendeds aftermath, following on from Mean Friend and Social Distancing.

Theres something uniquely pure and honest about Catnapps performance, and Dating Is In China in general, but theres no denying that the songs hearton-sleeve pop makes it something of an outlier in the Modeselektor catalog. Two alternative versions were created by the Berlin duo themselves: crunchy synths jab the speed dating version, whereas Dated In China is a bath of meditative, drawn-out tones. Additional remixes are provided by Jersey Club Queen, Uniiqu3, Swedish Duo Asthma (A.K.A. Pr Grindvik And Peder Mannerfelt) as well as old friend TimTim.
