SPA #39: Modulaw & Phillip Jondo for NTS Radio

DJ Plead, Phillip Jondo and Xzavier Stone join forces in a collaborative EP that not only signifies the birth of a profound friendship and creative alliance but also traces the roots of their interconnected musical journey. Crafted over several years, this body of work was meticulously shaped through both remote collaboration and sessions held in Xzavier Stone's studio in Zurich. As the trio delves into their mutual musical passions, they skillfully weave together influences from contemporary club music, 00s club rap, and intricate syncopated drum work, creating a sonic tapestry that resonates with innovation and shared artistic vision.

Juju FM — Sweet Juju Invite Daviaa

An architect of textured, neo-ambient soundscapes, Dania explores both sound and identity, focusing specifically on how the latter has fractured in a post-colonial world. Born in Baghdad, raised in Tasmania and now based in Barcelona, she moves between cultures and continents, her amorphous creative vision directly tied to her transient existence. 

The founder of experimental platform Paralaxe Editions, Dania divides her time between Spain and the remote corners of Australia, where she works as an emergency doctor. Her musical practice, however, is preoccupied with harmonics and tonality, weaving together manipulated vocal fragments, processed field recordings and meditative atmospheres. 

She has released on Geographic North, Ecstatic, Superpang, OOH sounds and on Longform Editions. 

Dania is an artist of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art, co-funded by the European Union and Pro Helvetia. 

Broadcast description:  

“This mix is a collection of organic sounds, guitar, violin, cello and especially voice. I’ve included a few demos I’ve been working on with just guitar and voice with my friend Ilyas Ahmed which will be released on Geographic North in October. Here you will also hear some music from Ulla and Perila who just released an album on my label Paralaxe Editions. They used the floor as a studio to create some beautiful ambient jazz. Also, some forthcoming by composer Flora Yin Wong which will come out next year. All in all, some gentle but visceral sounds. Some other reverby bells, and music for tranquil times.”
