Italian duo Modular Project align their analogue gear and do what they do best in modernising nostalgic melodies and propelling them with punchy drums. After releases on Permanent Vacation, their own Nothing Is Real imprint, Motordiscs, hfn music and an edit for Jennifer Cardini’s Dischi Autunno, Modular Project release their debut on Exploited Club.

'It's Time' renders a vision of 90s hedonism as pupil-widening sequences bind with ecstatic pianos in a warm, rushing embrace. Thick, accurate drums give the track pace and power with claps and hats flickering overhead like strobes through fog. 

'Sex!' then rolls out a neat and classy groove as the sturdy bones of a Disco beat thump under a snake-hip bass, serrated acid line and bold, unfiltered piano chords.

'Echosphere' then dims the lights as swooning vocals (by Lattedoro) and glacial stabs are draped over snappy, broken drums. Modular manipulation drives the growth of the track as it blooms across an Intergalactic trip rounding off a varied but cogent record that speaks to the core of Exploited's ethos.

Michael Mayer albums don’t come round too often, which is one of many reasons why his fourth collection, The Floor Is Lava, is a genuine event. It’s been eight years since his last one, the collaborative & released on !K7; its predecessors, Mantasy (2012) and Touch (2004), took their sweet time, too. It’s no real surprise, given the many hats Mayer wears – globetrotting DJ, revered remixer, inveterate collaborator, and boss of both Kompakt and Imara – that his solo productions are relatively sparing. But this also speaks to their quality: Mayer’s name on a record sleeve is a sign of quality, of music that’s both looking to the future and calling back to the past, that balances the imperatives of the dancefloor and the loungeroom, that’s as exploratory as it is functional.

On The Floor Is Lava, Mayer seems to be taking the temperature of both the music that surrounds him (past and present), and the ideas of the industry he works within. There’s that iconic album title, for a start. “The album’s mindset,” he says, reflecting on those four words together. For Mayer, it’s partly a critique of the way the industry boxes in both producer and listener, focuses them on genre, on market, on the next new thing: “Being a free minded spirit that transcends genres has become an uphill battle.” A battle worth fighting, though, and with The Floor Is Lava, the result is an album that’s varied, quixotic, idiosyncratic, charming, and deeply, addictively listenable.

Throughout, Mayer finds thrills in exploration and juxtaposition, allowing unexpected things to blossom and giving them their life, their platform, throwing the listener exciting curveballs: “It’s a DJ album by a DJ that’s easily bored.” Either easily bored, or endlessly curious, The Floor Is Lava is rich with ideas. It opens with “The Problem”, which looks back to look forward, embracing the rickety way early house productions threw samples together with gleeful abandon. Mayer mentions Pal Joey, and the scene around Rockers Hi-Fi and their Different Drummer imprint, as reference points, and you can hear that freewheeling spirit throughout.

That’s The Floor Is Lava: then and now, brainwaves and nerve structures, problems and solutions, genres on fire; the real, the unreal, and the surreal. An album for the easily bored and the endlessly curious. Mayer has the last word, telling us all you need to know about the album’s spirit: “Burning for the cause, being zealous, being addicted to the heat of the night, the exuberant powers of music.”

Laurent Garnier's COD3 QR presents the magnificent seven on the latest digital release, "[QR]D.320.MFS.24", which features exclusive tracks by both label regulars and new signings: Alex Rothschild, Loloman, Costello, Manuel-M, Carlos Nilmmns, Jim Rivers and Onur Ozman.

Alex Rothschild aka Coco Basel is a producer and DJ whose musical journey was shaped by a decade in New York. During this time, he was deeply influenced by house music legends such as Todd Terry, Terry Hunter, Frankie Knuckles, David Morales, and Louie Vega. Now he's gravitating towards minimalist electronic music, like "Cosmorak", enriched with groovy basslines, while retaining the New York and Detroit essences that have defined his style.

Loloman is a leading French producer creating music without adhering to conventional rules, blending styles, synthesizing sounds, and unveiling a unique and diverse musical world filled with strong emotions and a groove that aims for universality, inspired by his extensive experience on the dancefloor. He has previously released tracks on the likes of MB Elektroniks, Brique Rouge, Metrohm, and here with his latest for Cod3 QR, "The Wall”.

Costello is a versatile French electronic music producer, artist, and DJ known for his cutting-edge sound and technical prowess. With a rich discography that traverses techno, disco and beyond, Costello has carved out a niche as a genre-defying act which he brings to new track "Dream Operator". His standout tracks have previously captured the attention of underground stalwarts like Boys Noize, Solomon for releases on their labels. And of course Laurent Garnier.

A discreet yet respected artist on the scene, Manuel-M has been working passionately behind his machines since 2008. He remains attached to an old-school vision, marked by the pioneers of techno, while incorporating his style through contemporary sound design as displayed on his track "Take". His major influences, notably Technasia, Vince Watson and Ken Ishii, are reflected in his compositions, which are both eclectic and deeply rooted in the music's heritage. Manuel navigates between genres, with releases on other renowned labels such as Tronic and Brique Rouge.

Ross McMillan aka Carlos Nilmmns is a UK producer, originally from Glasgow (Scotland) but now living in Angers (France), whose name has become synonymous with an eclectic but often deep and sensual sound. In the past, he's released on some of the world's best-of-breed labels including Circus Company, Cocoon, Ornaments, KMS, Planet E and Dopewax. Here he delivers the jazz-infused beauty, "Just Another Day".

Returning to the studio after several years hiatus, Jim Rivers aka Copy Paste Soul has picked up where he left off. With previous releases on Bedrock, Global Underground, Renaissance and an album on Carl Cox's Intec label, Jim's back catalogue is awash with variety, made with a depth and warmth few can match. After finding time to immerse himself back into the studio, the past few months have been a hive of activity, culminating in a string of new productions for Poker Flat, Traum and here on COD3 QR with the driving "Canna".

Onur Ozman is one of the more remarkable names in Deep House. He is an artist and a professional architect, who combines both disciplines in his precise productions. Sound design to the smallest details. Now based in Zurich (Switzerland), Onur started his career as a prominent member of the Istanbul House music scene in early 2005, and his musical talent has since led to him releasing music on labels like Sum Over Histories, Isolate, Yoshitoshi, Hottrax, Rebirth, Noir Music and Kwench. His love for the origins of electronic music mixed with a commitment to the discovery of new sounds gives his catalogue a wide range, with no genre restrictions, like this experimental closing track "If U Want".
