Sascha Ring, a.k.a Apparat, regards his move from the provincial backwaters of eastern Germany to Berlin in 1997 as one of the best decisions he has ever made. Since 1999 he runs, together with T.Raumschmiere and Daniel Meteo, the Berlin based record label Shitkatapult - an adventurous music catapult that launches a wild mixture of incalculable music onto the turntables of the world. Apparat's music serves as a bridge between emotional Mancunian pop, glitchy laptop experiments and dance-floor oriented techno and electro. From custom built software and equipment Apparat creates his very own musical reality - dense, dark and majestic clouds of elegiac pop and heavy electronica built up to a coherent and emotionally charged atmosphere. Live, on the other hand, the dance floor seems to be compelled to rave to Apparat's triangulation of techno, IDM and electro.
