After its well-received debut release – a six-track VA featuring Cosmosolar, Basileus, Viktoria Jauregui, V.C.I., Laura Butallo, and Yerno Vil –, the brand-new La Plata-based label Modula Discos is more than ready for its second episode: The outlet welcomes back the Argentinian duo Voltage Controlled Illusion, whose previous works appeared on Slow Cycle, Print ID, and Modula itself, this time presenting no less than ten originals. No remixers or collaborators here: All tracks were developed for their live performances culminating in an outstanding album that showcases the capabilities of the creative hermanos.

In the catwalk, dance-floor-oriented cuts only, displaying props from Techno, EBM, Industrial, Trance, Leftfield, New Wave, and Krautrock, and culminating in a must-have compilation of proper Dark Disco themes.

Given the high level of the album, it was hard to choose only one to review. But after a couple of listening sessions and some deliberation, we managed to pick our favourite: Premiered here, “Cursed” is a frolic and upbeat piece that develops its spell through a driving bassline, powerful sequencer patterns, and well-heeled percussive elements. The result: Darkness with groove at its best!

Skydel - Collision [Modula]

At Modula, we are proud to present our eighth release: FISBO & Mentalitet's (@fisbomusic & @mentalitetmusic) "Steel Nomad" [MDL008], where the producers condenses spatial and robotic soundscapes, expressly based on continuous, acidic bass lines, whose progressive metamorphosis immerses the listener or dancer in terrains of dissimilar gravity, floating between the harmonics of the harsh bass lines and metallic sequences.

The highway of the first space voyage, "Steel Nomad" prophesizes from its title a sonic transition toward an spacey machine sound with great acid-psychedelic undertones. The harmony seems to extend in degrees that oscillate the subconscious in a hypnagogic state promoted by its breakbeat rhythms. The second space-traveling track, "Another Engine" manifests itself in progressive grooves that allow us to calibrate our dance steps to a gentle rhythm of musical synchronization, merging us into the spectrum of sound frequencies. The static harmony acts as a stage for the progressive perception of our bodily movements.

Both tracks are accompanied by their respective remixes. The first was produced by Cali Burton (@caliburton), who reworks the song, offering synthetic stimuli based on leads, bass, and sequences that embellish the original, as well as an acceleration of the tempo that adapts the song to more energetic, dance-like settings, ideal for peak-time. The second remix by Cosmosolar artist (@cosmosolarok) adds the label's signature indie dance touch to the original's machine-like sound, redirecting the original's intensity toward a dreamlike, italo, retro-futuristic club sound.

FISBO & Mentalitet:  One was behind the desk, the other walked in with questions - that’s how Mentalitet & FISBO began. What started as lessons turned into late-night sessions, ideas bouncing back and forth, shaping tunes that don’t fit into boxes. Always experimenting, never settling - just making music that feels right.

Remixer: Cosmosolar: Cosmosolar is the project of Argentine DJ and producer Alejandro Gamba, born in Patagonia and based in Buenos Aires. With international tours in Mexico, Europe and Chile, his presence in the global electronic music scene is becoming more and more important.

- label's bio;
Founded in 2023, Modula is an electronic music label with a unique proposal in the Buenos Aires music scene. His sound aesthetics can be associated with indie dance, dark disco or melodic techno, but the fundamental essence of his music is the conditions of its production: the use of analog synthesizers, sequencers, rhythm machines and other hardware devices that they use the artists that belong to the label to produce and perform their music. That is where Module finds its identity. The sound exploration, the aesthetic search and the time dedicated to these artisan processes of composition and completion of the music differ from the current accelerated processes of electronic production and place the label's participants on the radar of artists who stand out for the use of these instrumentals and the curatorship of said music.

SPÆCIAL PREMIERE: FISBO, Mentalitet - Steel Nomad (Cosmosolar Remix) [Modula]

Modula's eighth release, “Steel Nomad,” presents FISBO & Mentalitet's mastery of industrial-tinged electronica through two meticulously crafted originals. The producers construct immersive worlds where grinding basslines intersect with crystalline harmonics, creating tension between mechanical precision and organic flow. The themes evolve with architectural care, their acidic undercurrents morphing across cavernous mixes that reward both focused listening and uninhibited movement. The addition of reworks by Cosmosolar and Cali Burton introduces contrasting interpretations that complement the EP's core vision without diverting from its cohesive aesthetic. Each composition demonstrates a keen understanding of physical space in electronic music, with frequencies carefully positioned to manipulate perception and energy.

Premiered here, the Moroder-esque "Another Engine" distinguishes itself through elegant restraint, its motorik pulse recalling vintage arpeggiators while maintaining contemporary polish. The arrangement breathes deliberately, allowing rubbery low-end frequencies to converse with shimmering upper registers in a call-and-response that feels almost conversational. Its genius lies in what's withheld – the track teases climactic releases but prioritizes sustained momentum, creating addictive tension on the dance floor. This measured approach highlights the producers' confidence in their material, trusting subtle modulations and textural shifts to maintain interest.
