RELEASES

Released in October last year on the rising & shining Buenos Aires/Madrid-based label Modula, the bold and well-received ten-original album “Yar” by Argentinian duo Voltage Controlled Illusion – V.C.I. for short – is now back with an interesting collection of remixes. On board, talents from many different corners of this doomed and cursed little blue dot we live on: Álvaro Cabana (RASTROLIVE003), Playa del Karma, Tucu (Tucu), Cosmosolar, Vleks, Ricardo Ruben (SXDNS103), Perrone, Prinze, Gueva (SXDNS292), and Mistery Kid (SXDNS398) held no punches and delivered insightful interpretations, resulting in a colourful and kaleidoscopical parcel.

If last year we had the opportunity to review the frenzied “Cursed”, we now give a go on the bossy rework cooked by Ricardo Ruben, one of the most prominent South American artists of his generation. After solid appearances on Playground, Controlla, Rotten City Files, Phisica, Side Up Works, Emerald & Doreen, and Bonkers, just to name a few, Ricardo debuts on Modula with a punchy interpretation of “Escandalo”. The plethora of acid of the original is still there, but now with the company of absurd percussive elements plus beautiful synth leads and layers that deliver a certain psychedelia to the theme.

PREMIERE703 // V.C.I. - Escandalo (Ricardo Ruben Remix)

Sortilegios II

Skydel - Collision [Modula]

Panthera, part of the Polaris family, needs no introduction.
The French producer is back at the start of the new year with two euphoric new tracks, rich in synthesizers, two pieces of sheer happiness.
On the remix duties, AFFKT gives us a fantastic reinterpretation of the song ‘Uprising’.

We start with ‘Uprising’, a retro-futuristic track that takes us on a space trip with its nostalgic pads and celestial chords. While the voices resonate skywards.

The adventure continues with the brilliant ‘Dynasty’, a disco track with a driving, unifying melody. Its progression is pure and its catchy vocals work in perfect synergy. A pure moment of escape on the dancefloor.

AFFKT's remix is an extraordinary reinterpretation, he transforms ‘Uprising’ into a thrilling, urgent weapon, with crushing rhythms and acid synth loops that rumble with high energy, while additional vocal melodies are of impeccable quality. 

Enjoy!

PREMIERE - Fargo Devianti & Vongold - Lips (Fabio Me Llaman Soltero Remix)

Clubland is filled with duos, sometimes they grew up sharing bunk beds, sometimes they met on a dancefloor, or sometimes -as with Lord Fascinator & Kate Stein- they met on a tropical island after one had commissioned the other to create several giant monsters for a music video. 

Fast forward through ten years of costumes, chemicals, religious art projects and "Mad Max yoga retreats", they have finally cemented their relationship in the studio with their Primary EP, 4 tracks of psychedelic synth-pop, cowboy disco and cosmically inclined iridescent electronica.   

First up is country touched club banger Horse House, a track that combines a galloping hypnotic house beat and pulsating synths with all manner of Morricone'esque whistles, lonesome guitar twangs, equine snorts and, of course, the repeated chant that "there's a horse in this house". 

The track may have started life as a joke but its effect on dancefloors has been anything but and Horse House joins the select ranks of other fine western themed classics that have curiously littered the history of club music.

Brazilian producer Niev debuts on Mexican imprint Duro Label with a three-track EP exploring the depths of acid house.

Duro Label proudly announces the release of "Mariokarlos EP," the latest production from Brazilian artist Niev, an emerging force in the electronic scene from Ribeirão Preto who has been making waves in experimental music since 2020.

The EP, consisting of three original tracks, represents a deep dive into acid house territory while maintaining Niev's characteristic essence of blending electronic elements with Brazilian influences. The EP includes the title track "Mariokarlos," followed by "Ciao (Stripped Mix)" and "Wannabe," each exploring different nuances within the genre.

Niev, known for his work with Radio Vitrine and The Last Baba Disco Studios, brings to this release his distinctive musical perspective, shaped between 80's nostalgia and contemporary influences from Russian and Middle Eastern music. His ability to weave traditional and cutting-edge elements is reflected in each of the EP's cuts.

"Mariokarlos EP" marks Niev's debut on Duro Label, solidifying the Mexican imprint's presence in the international house music scene and reinforcing its commitment to innovative sounds and bold proposals.

The EP will be available across all digital platforms from March 7th, 2025.

The first release on Riotvan in 2025 comes from a fresh and emerging talent out of Mexico. We're talking about JaasRoo from Xalapa. There seems to be something in the water in that city, as it’s already given us the likes of Rebolledo and Paulor, and now this exceptional artist. His EP taps into nostalgia, yet avoids the cliché of retro trends. Instead, he delivers a distinct and contemporary blend of disco, trippy textures, and a clear affection for analog sounds. We’re genuinely excited about this debut release from a rising star whose journey is only just beginning.

Epicure Records is psyched to release a vibrant new EP from Tel Aviv’s Sharon Attar and Omer Zoltek, out June 13, 2025.
Driven by three original tracks, the EP dives into groovy rhythms, lush textures, and raw club momentum.

Sharon Attar opens with her signature percussive flair and irresistible sense of rhythm, while Omer Zoltek brings hypnotic depth and emotional layering. Their joint title track captures the essence of the project, organic, driving and subtly trippy.
Three remixes follow, offering unique reinterpretations from artists and labels that embody our love for bold, genre-crossing dance music. 
Prinze, founder of Epicure Records, adds a cosmic, acid-tinged touch. Jason Peters, head of Roam Recordings, takes things darker and deeper, channeling the West Coast underground. Finally, Hard Fist’s Neskeh closes with a twisted, bass-heavy version full of tension and intrigue.
A release that moves through Tel Aviv, Paris, San Francisco and Lyon, guided by a love for sound and a spirit of unity, connecting minds, bodies and souls across borders.

Epicureans from all over, let’s take a ride together!

Sharon Attar - Ladies & Gentlemen (Prinze Remix) [Epicure Records]

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.
