Apparat is a German musician, composer, and electronic music producer based in Berlin. Born on June 27, 1978, he is known for his innovative sound and unique approach to music production. Co-founder of Shitkatapult, Apparat has established himself as a prominent figure in the electronic music scene.

With his distinct style that blends elements of techno, IDM, and ambient music, Apparat has captivated audiences worldwide. His music often evokes a sense of introspection and emotion, creating immersive sonic landscapes that transport listeners to another realm.

Influenced by artists such as Telefon Tel Aviv, Moderat, Modeselektor, and Thom Yorke among others, Apparat's work pushes the boundaries of electronic music. His collaborations with renowned performers like Ellen Allien and Pantha Du Prince have further solidified his status as an influential force in the industry.

apparat, aka berlin's sascha ring, has had one hell of a year. his collaboration with ellen allien, the critically acclaimed album 'orchesta of bubbles', forged electrifying new connections between techno, electro and pop music. they developed the material into an electrifying live show that wowed clubs and festival audiences the world over. apparat kept honing his solo show at the same time, delivering a powerful electro / techno laptop attack that would leave crowds twitching in its wake. and somewhere, in between all those activities, he managed to record 'walls', his first solo studio album since 2003's 'duplex'. despite its title, 'walls' isn't about dividing lines. instead, it describes a circle that pulls many elements together into a protected, enclosed space where they jostle and roam free: strings and mallet instruments; rock guitar and gravelly sawtooth synths; stuttering digital percussion and muscular studio drumming. a number of talented artists assisted apparat on this project, from telefon tel aviv's josh eustis, who did the album's final mixdown in chicago, to maria hinze, who painted the cover. kathrin pfander and lisa verena stepf (complexcord), who worked with apparat on his 'sizilium' ep, play the string arrangements that give the record so much of its warmth; jorg whner, a colleague from apparat's home town, plays drums on 'halo' and 'when'. 'lime,' a leftover from apparat's duplex, features klas yngborn, who also sang on that album. and another sizilium veteran shows up to sing on four songs: the talented raz ohara. on shitkatapult.
