Modular People Modcast

On a lazy Friday afternoon, the newly signed Canyons boys, Ryan and Leo, entered the Modular boardroom to lay down some of their favourite disco jams alongside some "mic breaks", resulting in some fairly hilarious calls. Best listened on a sunny afternoon, shirts-off, with an ice-cold jug of Pimms.

Thats right, we've another ModCast filtering out onto the internets as we speak, this time by the genial lads at Allez Allez. Sam Willis and Steve Nolan have been curating an equisite selection of mixes online for the last few years from folks as diverse as Joakim, Four Tet, Animal Collective and Samim to name just a handful, in between their special guest mixes knocking out the occasional master blaster themselves, just as they've done for us.

A new Modcast has eeked it's way out into the ether, hosted by Sydney-based fashion label Lover®. Kicking off with the elegaic tones of one John Coltrane and running the gamut from Cypress Hill to Elliot Smith, along the way tackling heavy issues ranging from Barack bonging on, to the big guy in the sky himself.

A little light listening for the weekend, the latest from DJ Dreamtime, the tantalisingly titled Dream On mix. This one runs the gamut from klassic Kraut to mystic Chicago and a fabulous secret gem.

Pilooski aka Edit Master recently bugged out our ears with a spacey modcast filled with his fave joints and edits from around the globe. As an independent artist, member of Discodeine, and editor of the D-I-R-T-Y crew, Pilooski is one busy dude. With a French feel and a global theme, this modcast is one for the musical connoisseur in you.

Shit damn, we made it to episode 23. Break out the beer bong and slap on your party hats. Down from Switzerland to play a couple of shows on our shores, we haven't seen Headman's cute little cherub cheeks since way back when he played our Modular Monthly. He took charge on this Modcast, laying down some olduns some newuns, some of his own, some not, but all completely vibing. Headman has got his mind wrapped around the dance, knows it back to front, side to side. Over the years he's been asked to rerub Franz Ferdinand, Mylo, The Rapture, Roxy Music, Cut Copy amongst a slab of others. His talents don't stop there, he's also a bang-up producer and DJ, crafting tracks and playing sets that have seen many a sweaty jig. Not to mention, he's the head honch of his own record label, Relish, which holds talents like Franz and Shape, David Gilmour Girls, Don Cash, Yuksek and Riot In Belgium.

One of the Spank Rock DJs, Chris Devlin pulled into Modular HQ last Friday to record a Modcast. Needless to say we all knocked off early and cracked a few coldies whilst Chris spun our heads off with a few good tunes from his stash. This one has got it all, a tightly packed tin of totally blitzing party bangers and stupidly sideways psych, with a few tropicana style sizzlers thrown in for good measure, it was a perfect way to wind down the work week and gear up for Friday night. All the way from Philly in the US of A, Spank Rock are the absolute bees knees when it comes to hip-hop and all round jams, we were psyched to have Chris in the office.

Tim Sweeney (the brain behind Beats In Space) dropped by recently to lay down some of his favourite jams from the outter edges of the universe for the latest Modcast. A smooth affair you would come to expect from the prolific New Yorker, Sweeney's delicious serving of funk, disco and all things chilled is the perfect accompaniment to the long hot summer ahead of you. With artists like The Fall, Arthur Russell and Super Max included, you know exactly what you're in for. Sit back, relax and drift away with the freshest Modcast this side of Siberia.

The boys from Tame Impala stopped by the other day, all long-haired, barefooted and smelling of wilderberries to put together the latest Modcast for us. Diving into the rabbit hole of 60s psychedelia, tumbling rock from the 70s and some newer far-out jams, this mix is trip through the looking glass into the land of Tame Impala. Kevin Parker (Guitar & Vocals), Dominic Simper (Bass Guitar) and Jay Watson (Drums & Vocals) present a selection of tracks that both inspired and stimulated them during the recording of their debut EP, which is creating a certified shit-storm in Australia.

Dirty Sound System is Guillaume Sorge, Clovis Goux and sometimes Benjamin Morando. Three Frenchies with a penchant treading the line between vintage and futuristic. When it comes to the party, they know how to spin it, playing all over the world beside names like Justice, Simian Mobile Disco, Headman and Kitsune. Together with Jerome Poisson handling the technical bits, they run a Paris based website/record label called Dirty. As a label, they are most known for releasing tracks by Discodeine (Marando & Pilooski) and limited vinyl runs of re-edits by Pilooski that have garnered props from the likes of Erol Alkan, Joakim and WhoMadeWho. They've also put out four compilations of off-kilter dancefloor tracks with little to no genre distinction, the latest of which is titled Dirty Space Disco. This Modcast features some upcoming Discodeine tracks and Joakim remixes as well as some club (un)classics. It was recorded live, no editing, no overdubs, they left all the mistakes, but it's still smooth as silk.

Bringing us up to number nineteen, DJ Gorky of Brazilian throwdown-throwers Bonde Do Role has laced together the latest episode of the Modcast. Whether it's with his band or solo on the sliders, Gorky is known for starting blurry eyed stumbling parties by meshing his love for laying down a club rub with a buoyant and bubbly attitude. A winning combo, if we do say so. Whilst the first half of this Modcast is a sublime megamix of baile funk, hip-hop, noisy electro and dance jams that'll satisfy even the fussiest party palette, the second half is all Modular lovin' with Gorky playing his favourite tracks from the label and telling us why.

We've stayed relatively true to our promise to provide regular Modcast updates, and here's the latest. We got Ben Aqua to hit the sliders this time around and he came back to us with a stellar outerspace disco mix that you really should get your head around. All the way from Austin, Texas in the US of A, Ben is a photographer, artist and DJ who's work has been published in NYLON Magazine, Arkitip, XLR8R and Fecal Face. He's also a founding member of the photo team OK! FRESH and art collective Totally Wreck. Under the name of MVSCLZ, Ben makes what he describes as "hyper electronic Hi-NRG disco project from the nether worlds of GYMNASIA".

Whilst the better part of the Southern Hemisphere freezes their nuts off over Winter, Teki Latex has whipped this mix of summer jams up especially for the Northern Hemisphere. However there is no reason we can't pump up the volume and dance like a loon to warm ourselves up too. As an independent artist and member of Paris-based electro hip-hop outfit TTC, Teki is also co founder of

The latest Modcast, the fourteenth in the series, is the most original yet. Featuring the creative mind of Jonathan Zawada presenting a selection of tracks that have sound effects in them. A slick mix of songs, stitched together with a common theme. From steel pipes to cash registers to jungle sounds to frogs and more. Jonathan Zawada is one of Australia's premiere artistic talents and has had ties with Modular for a while now, co-ordinating artwork for a lot of artists on our label including The Bang Gang, The Bumblebeez, Muscles, The Presets and loads more. Most recently, he worked with Shane Sakkeus as Trust Fun on the video clip for the Lifelike remix of The Presets' Are You The One?

Regulars at our Modular parties in France, Gentlemen Drivers kindly stitched up all a bunch of tres bien tracks for the latest Modcast. Whilst their sound has been described by some genre-casting aficionados as a midpoint between 80s and 90s club music, Gentlemen Drivers have remixed the ass off tracks like Homecoming by The Teenagers and DVNO by Justice. Word is that they got some of their own productions in the works too. Hi Fi Serious - Because Remix Gentlemen Drivers - Not Over Yet Remix feat Soko Bossa Nostra feat.
