# Electronic Beats Recommends Apparat Band in review
It was one hour in to the first of three highly anticipated Berlin shows
from **Apparat**, when the young man passed out. The bass was heavy, the
air a bit stuffy and the young man got a bit too excited. No worries, he
soon recovered shortly after but it seemed as if this incident was a
mirror image of the **Apparat Band**'s intensity.
> me too! super excited:2nd time I see Apparat this year RT
> @[phon\_o][1]: looking fwd to @[apparatofficial][2] and [#cubenx][3]
> tonight. gonna be huge.

The opening night at Berlin-Kreuzberg's Hebbel am Ufer theatre started
early. Mexican producer **Cubenx** brought [his debut album *On Your Own
Again*][5] to the stage and was joined by contributor and friend
**Alfredo Nogueira**. Cubenx warmed up the crowd well, although his slow
and intimate electronica and folk influenced tracks made people sit on
the floor rather than making them shake. Still, tracks such as 'Grass'
were even more powerful in this setting.
At around 9:15pm, Apparat and his Band entered the stage. There was
tension in the air, but of the positive kind. Starting slowly out with
older works from albums *Walls* and *Arcadia*, Ring then moved onto more
recent material from his **Mute Records** released *The Devil's Walk*
record.

A stripped down version of 'Song of Los', then songs such as 'Ash/Black
Veil' and 'A Bang in the Void' followed this intimate and emotional
section complete with a live string section. Sascha's voice, guitar play
and effect machines were in total harmony with the drum section, the
single bass drum pinches and the classical musicians. Can we call this
epic, please? Goose bumps ahoy! Oh, and there was dancing a bit earlier:
Apparat played 'Rusty Nails', part of his collaboration project with
**Modeselektor** known as **Moderat**.
The first part of the show closed with 'Escape', but it didn't take long
until the band was back to the stage for an encore. After a handful of
tracks, Sascha asked **Soap&Skin** to the stage, with whom he
collaborated on the track 'Goodbye' -- could there be a more fitting
closing title? We guess not!
> Whoa this was a pleasant surprise. Thanks, @[apparatofficial][2]!

What followed was roaring applause, a very happy audience and two
further nights with Apparat at Hebbel -- on Tuesday **Markus Popp** aka
**Oval** opened up, the last night saw support of **T.Raumschmiere**'s
band **Shrubbn**.
We at Electronic Beats would like to thank all of you for a great year
in 2011, and add special wishes to everyone who joined us for the grande
finale of [Sascha Ring's Electronic Beats recommended 'The Devil's Walk'
tour][8]. See you lot in 2012 with even more great artists and live
events.
> @[apparatofficial][2] THANKS for the concert in Berlin today!!!! it
