German duo Modeselektor from Bpitch Control have scored themselves a major coup - they’ve been personally selected by Radiohead’s Thom Yorke to support the British band on tour in Japan in October.

The news came after Modeselektor impressed Radiohead as a support act at their only show in Germany this summer.

This isn’t the first time that Thom Yorke has called upon Modeselektor for musical support.

Back in February, Thom Yorke asked Modeselektor to remix his single ‘Skip Divided’ for his solo album ‘The Eraser’, which was released to widespread praise.

Modeselektor will play six shows together with Radiohead, to more than 150,000 fans in Japan.

Check out Modeselektor’s album ‘Happy Birthday’ in the player below.
