 Modcast #105: ClubMod002 - F3 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 51:03

Club Mod is proud to present CLUBMOD002, 'Lonely Land' by F3, the 2nd release on Modular's new imprint aimed at a dance floor in your dreams. F3 are three brothers from Tel Aviv, who sent Lonely Land in a bottle from Israel that somehow found its way to us. Are they triplets? We don't know. Are they ancient Balearic overlords, risen from their white sand graves? Or are they cosmic kids, a new generation of vagabond disco trippers taking to the future by way of the past - we can't say. Have they produced a sparkling slice of sunrise disco house? We'd like to think so. Their Modcast is a little slice of sunshine. Enjoy. Lonely Land is a filtering, chugging swing for the lovers, and F3's debut. The ClubMod002 release includes remixes by John Talabot, Seahawks, and Coyote and is set for release on February 27. Tracklist: 1. Daniel A Sollscher - To Get Her (pothOles remix) 2. Marcello Giordani - Chubby Rain (Massimiliano Pagliara remix) 3. Simone Fedi - Bitter Devotion (Ewan Pearson Instrumental remix) 4.

 Modcast #103: Motor City Drum Ensemble | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 49:59

The story goes that at the young age of 6, Danilo Plessow fell in love with drums. He joined his school band and by the age of 11 he'd started working on his own music, using samples and computers. His moniker, 'Motor City Drum Ensemble', refers to his home town Stuttgart, the home of automobiles such as Mercedes-Benz and Porsche - as well as the hugely influential sounds born in the American Motor City, Detroit. He's in hot demand for his production abilities, and his DJ prowess at clubs across the world. A prestigious DJ Kicks commission this year is testament to his famous production and live dj mixing skills. Recently he recorded a set from a gig at D-Edge in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This Modcast, recorded live, is 50 minutes out of a grand four and a half hour set and is a taste of what's to come if you manage to catch him live in the coming festive season. Dates below.

 Modcast #99: Jacques Renault | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 62.11

What to say about Jacques Renault? He knows his music and he knows how to party. He started out as a post-punk Washington, D.C. native who moved to Chicago to continue his studies of viola, along the line he got into dance music, and moved to New York. As a DJ, his selection and mixing takes is a throw-back to when DJing was a fine art. As a producer his remixes, edits, original tracks have been released on a bunch of labels including DFA, RVNG INTL and Italians Do It Better. He's taken control of the Modcast this week and turned in a particularly fine selection for your enjoyment. Friends in Brazil and Chile, he's heading your way soon, check the dates below.

John "Juan" MacLean is a busy guy. Since his last full-length album (The Future Will Come) he's been relentlessly touring, guested on a number of other records (including Holy Ghost and Shit Robot's latest offerings), turned out a slew of remixes (apparently there are ones for Yoko Ono + Stevie Nicks in the works too) and is working on a new house project, going under the moniker 'Peach Melba'.

 Modcast #97: Mike Simonetti | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 61:25

Hailing from New Jersey, Mike Simonetti's influence is far and wide. As headman behind Troubleman Unlimited and Italians Do It Better labels he's put out records that have often been a preview of sounds to come. As a DJ he's been responsible for some frenzied and famed nights of fun - and of course dancing. While on the production front, earlier this year he released his debut album 'Capricorn Rising'. We've been long-time fans of Simonetti's and we're pretty chuffed he's delivered a Modcast this week. 1. Gui Boratto "Flying Practice" 2. The Field "Is This Power" 3. Daniel Bortz "Other Guys" 4.

 Modcast #95: Memory Tapes | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 23:38

This week's Modcast is a little different from usual. Dayve Hawk, otherwise known as Memory Tapes, has lovingly created a 23-minute mix of all new, all original Memory Tapes music. Here's what the man himself had to say about the mix, titled 'Slaughtered'. "I find I listen to mixtapes more than albums a lot of the time, so I wanted to make a new record in the form of a mixtape instead of a single or EP etc. It's all new, original Memory Tapes stuff just put together in the form of an extended mix. I thought the Modcast would be a cool way to make it available to people quickly and for free." Player Piano, Memory Tapes' second studio album, is out now on Something In Construction in Australia/NZ and Carpark everywhere else.

 Modcast #94: The Swiss - d'Ancestry Mix | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:17:02

A homage to their "wide pool of influences", the d'Ancestry Mix is The Swiss' eighty minute journey from shameless p0rn funk to the perfectly overglossed world of billion-dollar acid jazz, via the German autobahns popularised by Krautrock and precise engineering. Silver Convention - MadhouseHerbie Hancock - I Thought It Was YouJeff Wayne (War of the Worlds) - Eve of the WarGiorgio Moroder - ChaseTelex - Moskow DiskowKraftwerk - Europe EndlessThe Doors - Ghost SongFrank Zappa - Inca RoadsSteely Dan - PegSpinal Tap - StonehengeOn the Run - Pink FloydThe B'52s - MesopotamiaMetro Area - MiuraDaft Punk - MusiqueJamiroquai - Traveling without MovingEmerson, Lake & Palmer - Fanfare For The Common Man The Swiss' latest release, the Double Or Nothing EP, is available now via iTunes, and features remixes from Louis La Roche, Renaissance Man and Headman.

 Modcast #93: Wooden Shjips | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 61:27

San Franciscan quartet Wooden Shjips are the masters of spaced out psychedelic rock. We've been vibing their sounds from their remix work (with people like our very own Canyons), to their most recent full-length album 'West'. So we were pretty curious to see what they would do with a Modcast mix. In their words, this is a mix of "contemporary music that we are currently grooving to." This is definitely one to put on and let time flow. Catch Wooden Shjips' Ripley Johnson on tour in Australia later this month with his side-project Moon Duo. Dates are below. Tracklist: 1. Peaking Lights - Amazing and Wonderful (936) 2. Nisennenmondai - Destination Tokyo (Destination Tokyo) 3. Colin Stetson - Judges (New History Warfare - Judges, Vol. 2) 4.
