Artists to Watch 2011: Siriusmo

Siriusmo is Moritz Friedrich, a mild-mannered Berliner whose music, on the other hand, leans towards all-out mentalism. He’s no newcomer—he’s been putting out records for over a decade now, on a diverse set of labels including Sonar Kollektiv, Grand Petrol Recordings, Exploited, and Boysnoize Records. But since hooking up with Modeselektor, who gave him the honor of inaugurating their Monkeytown Records label, he’s really been on a roll. (In fact, he’s the only artist aside from Modeselektor themselves to record a full EP for the label so far—he’s up to three, and counting.)

As for Siriusmo’s music, it really is one of a kind—he’s got the bite and squelch of peers like Boys Noize and the jiggy rhythmics of Modeselektor, but there’s a playful melodic sensibility that’s his alone. With a new album for Monkeytown, Mosaik, about to drop, we’re betting that Siriusmo is about to become a seriously big deal.

What kind of music do you make, and how long have you been doing it for?

My music is called “imagination step.” I started when I was 20 years old, making music with machines and computer.

What projects do you have coming up for 2011? Beyond that, what do you hope to have accomplished by this time next year?

My new single “Feromonikon / Signal” came out January 14, followed by my debut album, Mosaik, in late February, and the single “Sirimande / Meatmachine” in March. And I will play some nice shows ... I will also collaborate with some other artists—too early to talk about it, though.

If you had to make one music-related resolution for the new year, what would it be?

I hope I can buy a new computer and synthesizer.

Finally, could you tip us off to an up-and-coming artist that you think people should know us about?

I have no idea. I’m always very surprised and get it very late when there are some good new artists.
