# The day after: What happened at Modeselektor’s EB guerilla office party
So, let's talk last night: We had the [**Modeselektor** takeover of
Electronicbeats.net][1] all day with **Gernot** and **Szary** sharing
[their][2] [current][3] [musical][4] [favourites][5] [and][6]
[artists][7], the [best 'Ost' dishes][8], their [mastering studio][9],
the greatest [music][10] [videos][11] and the [alphabet according to
Modeselektor][12]. The office day finally culminated into a 150 minute
guerilla office party action: We had beer, a sound system, a strobe
light, guests were arriving and Modeselektor, **Shed**, **Phon.o**,
**Benjamin Damage** and **Doc Daneeka** literally took down the
wallpaper in the end. But first things first:
Benjamin Damage and Doc Daneeka started the night with a back 2 back dj
set. The two UK producers, now based in Berlin and part of
Modeselektor's **50Weapons** record label family, were playing a
bouncing set ranging from techno to house to UK funky and garage. Next
up was **Shitkatapult** and **Monkeytown** regular Phon.o with one of
his live sets -- catch a glimpse of his prodcution skills with his
latest mix for Electronic Beats Radio.
During his set the room temperature was already close to the boiling
point, but that was nothing compared to what should be coming: When
**Shed** finally took over he increased the room temperature to the max
with his happy hardcore set -- what a killer!! In the meantime Szary and
friends started tearing down the wallpapers and adding a custom made
gaffer tape Monkeytown monkey to the Electronic Beats conference room
wall.
And then there was the **Modeselektor** dj set: they brought their own
killer tracks ('Evil Twin', 'Monkeyflip', 'Happy Birthday', 'War Cry',
'Blue Clouds') as well as those of own projects or befriended artists
(**Moderat**'s 'New Error', 'Das Geheimnis' by **Siriusmo** among
others). There was bass and acid music madness, there was live gaffer
tape painting, strobe light craze, a champagne shower and lots of beer,
smokes and dancoing people.
In short: we had so much fun! And then there were the **3766 UStream
viewers**: thanks to everyone of you for [tuning in last
night](www.ustream.tv/channel/modeselektor){: target="_blank"
rel="noopener"} and once again: apologies for the low video qualitym --
we now know how much bandwith we need for our next Electronic Beats
office party to deliver you a non-pixeled video stream. And: we'll let
you know about publishing the night's recordings asap.
