Recommends: Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve
Wildcard FOR 2013 entry Time & Space Machine (aka Richard Norris) might not be the most instantly recognisable name in the overwhelming lineup of heavy hitters but his collaboration with Erol Alkan as 'Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve' has left a significant impact on the electronic/dj/sample scene since they first tripped together in 2006.
The psychonauts have opened eyes re-editing and re-imagining the weirdest parts of The Nazz, Love, The Beatles and The Monkees, as well as producing official remixes for Chemical Brothers, Simian Mobile Disco and Midlake.
If you could picture The Avalanches trading in their brazilian, disco and hip hop records for thrift shop prog, wah-wah, garage and summer of love classics, you'd be closer to understanding this oddball world. Hop into this bootleg live mix that collects their quintessential remixes, edits and dusty dollar bin finds.
Watch: Modular's Hottest 100
Over the years, Modular has had a host of hits grace the triple j Hottest 100 charts. With the big 20th anniversary celebrations and voting frenzy on now, its the perfect time to relive some magic from the past.
We're combing through past Hottest 100 lists, cross-referencing it with our back catalogue of classics and putting together a series of playlists to take a trip down memory lane with. Most recent playlist available up top with the full series available after the jump.
Vote for your favourite tracks of the past 20 years over on triple j. Head on over to the Modular YouTube Channel to get your full daily dosage of goodness as the week progresses. Watch the previous days playlists after the jump.

Modcast #148: No Regular Play
No Regular Play are classically trained childhood friends that produce elegant dance music, reaching the pinnacle with last year's album Endangered Species. Watchdogs of the infamous Marcy Hotel in Brooklyn and tight with the Wolf + Lamb collective, the duo also gave Villa's 'Mint' a classy future disco stroke for Club Mod #005.
They've turned in this week's super-smooth Modcast, ready to wind you up for the weekend. Playlist and interview after the jump.
Watch: Pond - Giant Tortoise
Modular is proud to announce the coming of Pond's fifth album Hobo Rocket, out August 2 (AUS) / 5 (EU/UK) / 6 (USA). We're celebrating the news with the official video for 'Giant Tortoise', check it out above. For a free download of the track, head on over to the band's website.
Read on for the album tracklist and cover art.
Recommends: 12 Years of DFA
Feeling warm and fuzzy having watched this mini-doco on the history of DFA - an inspiring story of how a group of people throwing parties evolved into a cultural phenomenon. James Murphy, label CEO and frontman of one of the most loved bands of last decade LCD Soundsystem, looks right at home on a cruise ship to Jamaica.
He'll be no stranger in the paradisiacal setting at FOR Festival, DJing alongside fellow DFA alumni Canyons and Raff Daddy (The 2 Bears).
