Modified Man - The Country Is Full Of Spirits

Modified Man’s sound straddles decades. 

By surrounding themselves in tapes, synths, microphones and reverb boxes, they’ve sought not to wallow in nostalgia, but to grab some physical, real energy from solid objects, each with their own personalities, making a declaration about the future. One of physical expression in a digital era. 

The first EP from Albert’s Favourites co-founders and synth-production duo Modified Man focused on throwing out heavy editing, recording music with as few processes as possible and grabbing performances as single takes. 

Blending warped cassette recordings that touched upon early jazz-funk/brit-funk influences with the energy of broken beat and experimental electronica, won them support from Patrick Forge, Osunlade, Thris Tian, Yam Who? and Titeknots  to name a few. 

Since that release they premiered new track Thorns live on Boiler Room, going on to deliver a full, three-hour live performance and DJ set for the infamous global community. 

They also provided remixes for Dele Sosimi, Amp Fiddler, Makadem & Behr and Hector Plimmer, meanwhile, busily preparing a series of four, six-track vinyl EPs which will be released over the next 18 months. 

Kingswood Drive and Accidental Return are an early teaser of the next set, due in April. Displaying their signature analogue sounds and arpeggios, alongside broken beats and soul, you wouldn’t be alone in hearing the influences of Dam Funk, Herbie Hancock or Bugz In The Attic coming through on this release.

Modified Man - Accidental Return

"I was introduced to Abi at the end of 2010 through a mutual friend - Johnny Dub who co-runs the excellent Manchester night hoya:hoya. Instantly I was blown away by her voice.
I sent her some stuff that was on a slightly different tip to my usual beats. She dug it, sent it back, I worked on it some more - Tobyjug was born and i'm glad to say it has been the start of a long working relationship and friendship.
 
We worked together a lot last year on her solo material and the year culminated in Abi flying to Berlin to work with Benjamin Damage and I on our recent album They!Live. 
 
I love this song. Hope you do too x"

Doc Daneeka & Abigail Wyles - Tobyjug

'Kingswood Drive' is the new release from synth-production duo Modified Man, and it's out next week on their own label Albert's Favourites. It's an early teaser of their next EP, due out in April. We're premiering the title track which is a gorgeous, celestial analogue jam. The beats are as broken as they are soulful, but the whole thing is underpinned by this serene sort of energy.

Limitation is frequently the fuel of creation. For this project, South London producer Aeshim worked with only a small handful of drum samples, a Juno 6 synthesiser, a tambourine and a shaker. 

Each track was allowed a small amount of hours to find itself and over seven days, from the eight pieces completed, he selected these four to represent his music, at that moment in February 2018. 

We love them, we hope you will too.

@modified-man is Dave Koor, a prolific keyboard player who is part of The Expansions, Hector Plimmer and Andrew Ashong’s live bands too, as well as having played improvisations with Yussef Kamaal. And Adam Scrimshire who cut his teeth with his own solo project 'Scrimshire' and runs the Wah Wah 45s record label, which is home to Dele Sosimi, The Milk, Resonators and Paper Tiger.

We've got the premiere of "Croydon Rooftop Cafe Culture" A broken chip tune jazz-funk oddessy. Brimming with influences of Dam-Funk, Herbie Hancock or Bugz In The Attic, this jittery, vibrant & playful track is a showcase for the sound of South London, as is the whole EP.

Written and recorded between 2009 and October 2011 this is a collection of songs that came together on the way to finishing The Hollow. Some simply fell by the wayside due to collaborations being thwarted, or simply overlooked for different ideas.

Some formed the basis for better realised ideas but this is where certain methods or techniques were first tried and explored. Like the fairly Vangelis inspired 1000 Lost Letters which was part of a couple of improvisations, the second of which became the harp piece The Hollow.

All I Do was an experiment with recording the awful drum kit that was used for the entire of The Hollow. Particularly in this case to experiment with sounds for Through A Window.

A track like Repeat was simply the outlet of frustration and energy during the non-writing, mix and production period - a throwaway, an hour spent with all the instruments out, multi-tracking everything in one session as an improvisation.

They might not have the polish or have been edited quite as severely as the tracks that appeared on the album but they are ones that still were worth sharing and in some ways are maybe a little more honest for being a bit less finished.
