MOD EXIST “Caught in the Noise” C27 (Uncle Bob’s Records)

Former North-Westerner, Ted Brunning, does the IDM thang, specifically working with soft (&not-so-soft) industrial textures & tones, blending them into a creamy, saccharine goo, &then injecting said viscous grit into the mainstreamlined blood of happy-go-lucky metronomic techno beats, samples & playful electric guitar accents. It’s a reliable formula he’s following and it never fails to get the pulse-rate up and those pent-up toxins porously evacuating. Have a listen via the link below.

MOD EXIST “Beef Chop” (Box Fuss Recordings)

“There is a special place in hell for British electronic musicians who don’t try to emulate other British electronic musicians” - Madeline Albright

Even if Albright aka DJ Maddy A’s cool music knowledgebombs can’t outweigh her uncool hawkish desire to drop actual bombs in a way meaningful enough to stop America’s youth from #FeelingTheBern she’s not wrong on the above subject matter. And since that’s the case, Mod Exist will be going to heaven. They continue the tradition of trippy electronica fellow countrymen Fatboy Slim, Chemical Brothers, and the Prodigy have set out. If you are on fun drugs and seek to get sweaty, putting on “Beef Chops” should be your next move.
