From the 12" Vinyl 'Lunar Love Remixed' out Feb 24th 2017 on Agogo records.
Recorded and mixed at Phase Out studio(Berlin) by Vitaliano Zurlo.

"There's naturally a noticeable dancefloor focus, with sUb_modU delivering a pleasingly bass-heavy rework of Anthony Joseph hook-up "The Serpent" that also boasts some shuffling, intricately programmed, Innervisions style tech-house percussion." Juno records review

Mop Mop - The Serpent Ft. Anthony Joseph (sUb_modU Remix)

From the Single "Bubbles Dream"
Released January 11th 2018 

Available at
Apple Music / iTunes
http://itunes.apple.com/artist/sub-modu
Bandcamp
http://submodu.bandcamp.com/

These two new tracks - “Bubbles Dream (Entrance)” and “Tribes In Your Apartment” - are part of a wider project called “Tribes. Dreams and Rituals”. where sUb_modU set the boundaries of a well defined Working Area. 
Inside this area one can freely move, get acquainted with its contents, experiment with possibilities, unleash his creativity and grow. 

While sUb_modU’s recent remixes for Anchorsong and Mop Mop have contained a noticeable dancefloor focus, “Bubbles Dream” single incorporates in both track the original roots of the primal form of music as a collective ritual. 

WORKING AREA 
The Tribe is the ensemble that crafts the music for rituals, dances and celebrations. 
The Tribe is the first group of people who began playing music together. 

DEFINITION OF BOUNDARIES 
Capture the solid foundations of the tribal composition and use it a starting point. 

The solid foundations, whether spontaneous or collective are thereafter transferred to the electronic music (deliberated and individualistic) composed and played with 4 machines (analog or virtual/analog). 

Aiming at not using the computer to create the sound. 

Assign to each electronic machine a pertaining role inside the Tribe/Ensemble. 
For example give to the drum machine the role of the section of the tribe clapping hands or banging on metal and wooden objects or pumpkin drums, 
or attribute to the synths and tonal percussions the task of singing and playing the Theme in the form of Mantra (loop). 

Poor Harmony: use only scales of a few notes, typical of tribal compositions. 

Rich Rhythms: use polyrhythms as the predominant element of the compositions. 

Do not use Samples: the challenge here is in the curiosity induced by the discovering of the mood built up from scratch with the machines, and not "re-covered" by recordings that would easily recall the tribal mood. 

Do not use Bass, or bass lines. Use very low drums (or the bass drum). 

Bend the drum machine to the rhythmic function of the tribe, trying to get groove and naturalness as much as possible. 

Draw stories, dreams and travels. Dance and clap your hands!

Tribes In Your Apartment

From the EP "Ceremony" by Anchorsong (Tru Thoughts records, 2016)

“Amazing musician… What a beautiful record that is” - HUW STEPHENS (BBC RADIO 1) 

“A bold move, but one that Yoshida has succeeded at” – DJ MAG 

“One of the best of the year for sure… Joyous and engaging and creative and brilliant" - LAUREN LAVERNE (BBC 6MUSIC) 

“Ceremony”, out 22nd July, is the third single from Anchorsong’s ‘Ceremonial’ LP (released in January), which saw the London-based Japanese producer gaining huge acclaim for his concoction of catchy melodic phrasing, unique beats and vintage African influences. Following the recent BBC 6Music Playlisted “Expo” single, “Ceremony” highlights another key track from the album alongside four new remixes from Foreign Skin, Madcap, sUb_modU and Anchorsong himself. 
[...]
"sUb_modU (an Italian musician and producer with previous work on BBE and Agogo) reworks “Oriental Suite”, stripping it back to heighten the laid-back melody and tropical elements of the original -- a track that reflects Yoshida’s homeland as much as his study of African beats, with live bongos from Japanese percussionist Mu-chan and beautiful strings."
