Tracks

Malmö’s Mod Sens arrives on Programm LDN with an electric intersection of soundsystem styles and taut techno and electro. Pushing inventive, bassweight dance music through his Melt club night in the city he calls home, the wildly talented Swedish producer brings an international outlook to his subtly crafted workouts.

“These four tracks were all made at a time in Malmö when electro was completely dominating the underground scene,” says Mod Sens. “That had a strong influence on the creation of these tracks, but I was definitely more urgent to create my take on ‘UK’ Sounds.”

The sound on Misperceptions EP is introspective by design, cast in melancholic pads which balance the rugged impact of the crafty drums and upfront low-end. Mod Sens himself describes exploring the tension between wanting to run and feeling ‘stuck’, and that yearning sensation culminates in four elevated cuts that uphold Programm’s commitment to advancements in club music.

Visual director Blackwall and graphic designer Alfie Allen responded to the tangible mood of the EP, resulting in an accompanying visualiser and sleeve design which round out the emotion Mod Sens was reaching for while working on the music. As a complete package, it’s an audio-visual statement which leaves a lingering impression, as any art worth making should do.

Redstone Press celebrates its fifth year in action with one last release in this, their busiest year to date. Debba’s signature beatwork and melodic flourishes are given space to breathe with the dreamy synths of ‘Subtle’ building up, then breaking down into a low-slung pitched down UK Techno roller.

PREMIERE: Debba - Subtle (Redstone Press)

Rounding off the year on Redstone Press, Debba comes correct with a varied four-tracker laden with hefty subs and lock-tight percussion.

The A-side starts out with fast-paced staccato kicks and the oscillating, warped bassline of ‘Called Up’. These elements soon develop into a twisted, energetic romp, showing Debba’s innate knack for upfront, low-end percussive work. Continuing with this theme ‘Direction’ adds reverb-drenched vocals to the mix and ups the bass weight, with gritty, looping subs throughout. These two will put that soundsystem you’re dreaming of playing on, to the test!

The B-side is more restrained and meditative but retains the heavy subs, opening with the downtempo and introspective chords of ‘I Said’. The drop in pace gives Debba’s signature beatwork and melodic flourishes space to breathe with the dreamy synths of ‘Subtle’ building up, then breaking down into a low-slung UK Techno roller.

Mod Sens - Unexpected Encounters

With In Filtration and Paradigm I wanted to explore aspects of 4x4 Grime and Techno, touching ground on the dubstep-meets-techno sound that's been making rounds these recent years. The result is an honest approach to these worlds, attempting to pick up the fundamentals while incorporating my own sense of merging grime, 2-step, techno and dubstep.
