Moritz Friedrich (born 1976 in East-Berlin), better known by his stage name Siriusmo, is a Berlin-based German record producer. His tracks can be broadly defined as electronic, and are formulated with a variety of samples.

Biography

[edit]

Growing up, Friedrich was influenced by artists such as Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Squarepusher, and Aphex Twin.[1] The first band that Friedrich is known to have been in was a group called Sirius. After growing bored of playing the same songs, Moritz left Sirius, taking the band name with him. He based his new pseudonym around the old band name, adding "mo" from his first name to create Sirius.Mo, and later, Siriusmo.[2]

Throughout his career, which began with the single "Ne Me Quitte Pas" in 2000, Siriusmo has recorded prolifically. His music has been released with a number of different labels, including Grand Petrol Recordings[3] and Boysnoize Records. The majority of his releases have been through Monkeytown Records, a record label founded by Modeselektor with the goal of gently forcing Moritz to work on an album.[4]

He has also released a large number of remixes for artists including Gossip, Digitalism, Scissor Sisters, Simian Mobile Disco, Boys Noize, and Sido. His debut album Mosaik was released in February 2011 on Monkeytown Records, and provides a mix of genres at the intersection of techno, house, and hip hop.

Siriusmo has worked consistently with the Berlin-based graphical artist Jens Tümmel in the creation of his album art, associated videos, and merchandise. Jens' artistic style can especially be seen on many of Siriusmo's album covers.[5]

Six years after the release of the album Comic, an official video for the track "Doppelklick" was released by Siriusmo. Niels Rost, a Berlin-based graphic designer, animated the video using Microsoft Paint, a process which took a number of years to complete.[6]

In October 2025, released the single "Koko", which samples the purported last words of Koko, a gorilla who practiced parts of American Sign Language.[7] This was followed by the release of Siriusmo's first album in eight years, Buletten & Blumen, in November 2025.[8]

On 29th September 2025, Quentin Dupieux (who has collaborated with Siriusmo as Mr. Oizo) announced that Siriusmo had composed the soundtrack of his movie Full Phil.[9]

Personal life

[edit]

Moritz was born in 1976[10] and grew up in Friedrichshagen[11] in East Berlin; he has two brothers and a sister.[1] Besides his work as a producer, he has worked as a graffiti artist,[12] a children's book illustrator,[1] a wall mural designer, a plasterer,[1] and a carpenter.[13]
