Star Wars, The Godfather and Jurassic Park. The ever flowing river of time teaches us that all good things come in three's.
It’s true that Mumbai Science have always been marketing geniuses, but this time they might have hit the jackpot. Their masterplan: “Over the coming months, we’ll release three EP’s. One release a month, starting from January 9th”. That’s right, the duo plans to release not one, not two, but three original EP’s. Hence: trilogy! (although the guys prefer to call it their ‘triumvirate’). Pretentious you say? We call it ambitious.
The music? Well, why won't we let our Mad Men do the pitch themselves: “With this trilogy, we feel like we experimented with genres like new beat, future techno, acid and electro... In a way, we tried to re-interpret and contemporize everything we liked from our youth... Well, we just made something we think is quite cool”. And there’s that!
Part 1:
Every trilogy starts with the beginning, so what better way to start off than to introduce you to the first god of creation, Brahma. Brahma has four faces and four arms, is born in the lotus flower and is the creator of this material universe. Also, at one point, Brahma meditated for 290 million years. Exactly how long it took Mumbai Science to make this first part.
Part 1 consists of two tracks. With “Researchers”, Mumbai Science experiments with chopped up vocals and 80's strings, combining them with their trademark sound. The second track, “Commandments”, is slower and strikes with its obscure, lingering bassline. Perfect for the darker corners of the club!
Mumbai Science is mostly known for their club hits ‘Ancova’, ‘Gold’ and ‘Lotus’, which are still widely supported by artists around the globe (from 2 Many DJ’s, Crookers and Erol Alkan to Boys Noize, Tiga and beyond). Apart from their original work, Mumbai Science is building an impressive list of remixes. To date, the duo finished remixes for Mixhell (Boysnoize Records), Goose (!K7), Crookers (Southern Fried), Alex Gopher, Shameboy, Highbloo and Jaymo & Andy George. Now, they present their latest work on Lektroluv Records: ‘The Unified Theory’.
Early support is coming from Crookers, Boys Noize, Tiga, Congorock, Andy George, Tai, Bart B More, Boris Dlugosch, Mustard Pimp, Beataucue, NT89, D.I.M., John Roman, Etienne De Crecy, Punks Jump Up, Les Petits Pilous, The Aston Shuffle...
Starting off with little knowledge of electronical genres, Modek soon realised just how complex it was to make those tracks that made dance halls blow apart. Very soon, he plunged himself into the electronic scene and became a huge fan of producers and DJs such as SebastiAn, Justice, Erol Alkan, Boys Noize etc.
Some time and a bunch of productions later, his track 'Boomcrack' was picked up by national radiostation Studio Brussel. Soon after that, Modek remixed the Belgian rave classic 'Anasthasia' by T99 and people started to get to know him and his dirty sound. This track also made it to Studio Brussel while 'Boomcrack' went overseas, straight to Jaymo & Andy George’s BBC Radio 1 show.
In 2009, Modek’s hard hitting 'Hiroshima' won the Belgian national producers contest in the electro/fidget genre. By then he’d also done a bunch of remixes for several labels, and had released his 'Kamikaze' EP on Keatchen Records.
Today, Modek’s tracks are being picked up and supported by a lot of DJ's all around the world. With releases on respected labels such as Mental Groove and Dim Mak, he keeps growing and expanding his fan base and is ready to take over Europe and the world!
This ‘Willow/Dust’ EP is his debut on Lektroluv and we’re very proud to have Modek on board!
Listen to ‘Willow’ and you’ll realise that the word “epic” just got redefined: Soundcloud / Youtube.
Early support is coming from Fake Blood, Mixhell, Tai, Digitalism, Etienne De Crecy, Andy George (BBC Radio 1), Mustard Pimp, Kissy Sell Out, Proxy, Mason, Dada Life, Rico Tubbs, TJR, Supabeatz, The Loops Of Fury and many more!
