While the world calls their music ‘electro-pop’, Apparat’s lead man, Sascha Ring, refuses to categorise his music. “That’s really something other people should do,” he says.

Ring, whose first love has always been techno, enjoys using the computer for the “electronic sounds” it gives him. “I like to experiment and explore sounds. If I really need to play an instrument, I call someone else,” he adds, jokingly.
