| Opplysninger | "Examines Berlin duo Modeselektor's second studio album Happy Birthday! (2007), looking at its unique blend of techno, pop, hip-hop, and rave remixes in the context of Berlin and (East) German techno history"--. - Modeselektor, the notorious Berlin duo consisting of Gernot Bronsert and Sebastian Szary, released Happy Birthday! in 2007. Engaging with this album, this book provides a unique lens through which to examine current trends in European pop and electronic music history beyond standard examples of German pop and electronic music, such as Kraftwerk and Rammstein. Employing theories of popular culture and electronic music in the 2000s, especially Simon Reynolds's books Retromania and Energy Flash , Happy Birthday! argues for an updated study of electronic music and rave culture in twentieth-first century Europe, with specific focus on German studies. It further argues that international receptions of "German techno" need to remain self-critical regarding stereotypical associations of German music and culture-- associations which Modeselektor themselves critique through an engagement with multiple styles of dance music and hip-hop."--
