Apparat, also known as Sascha Ring, earned a nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album at the 2020 Grammy Awards for his critically acclaimed 2019 album, ‘LP5,’ and won IMPALA’s European Independent Album of the Year Award 2019. Ring established himself early in the electronic music scene with a focus on dancefloor-oriented techno, evolving his sound toward ambient music and intricate sound design. He was a co-owner of Shitkatapult records, a label pivotal in his early releases. His artistic reach expanded through collaborations, including the 2003 album ‘Berlinette’ and the 2006 follow-up ‘Orchestra of Bubbles’ with Ellen Allien.

His innovative approach gained further recognition with a John Peel session recorded in 2004, with re-recorded tracks later forming the ‘Silizium EP’ in 2005. In 2007, Apparat formed his own band to perform his album ‘Walls’ live, featuring Raz Ohara on piano and Jörg Waehner on drums, alongside his solo live sets utilizing Transforma Visuals. A pivotal point in Apparats career was the formation of Moderat, a collaborative project with Modeselektor. They released their self-titled album ‘Moderat’ in May 2009 on BPitch Control, following an earlier EP.

Following this success, Apparat continued his prolific output with ‘Krieg und Frieden (Music for Theatre)’ in 2013. His 2019 album, ‘LP5,’ released in March through Mute Records, not only garnered the Grammy nomination and IMPALA award but also showcased his continued evolution. In 2020, Apparat released a series of soundtrack albums, including ‘Soundtracks: Capri-Revolution,’ ‘Soundtracks: Stay Still,’ ‘Soundtracks: Dämonen,’ and ‘Soundtracks: Equals Sessions,’ highlighting his accomplished work in film and media composition. Most recently, Apparat reunited with Modeselektor for the release of ‘More D4ta’ with Moderat in 2022, further expanding the groups acclaimed discography.
