Delphic Coming Downunder This March
Just as the Modular Xmas Party signalled the start of the silly season, come the end of March on the tail end of summer Modular will be throwing another outrageous do to signal the end. A showcase of new talent headlined by Delphic will be blowing up the spot in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne to see off the sun.
Torchbearers of the new Madchester, Delphic are heading down here for the very first time for this whistlestop tour. Bringing with them their reportedly electrifying live act, this is your first chance to catch 2010's hot ticket from England's sunny north.
Delphic have spent the last 6 months collecting more "next big thing" and "best debut of 2010" tags than anyone's scrapbook has room for, and with good reason.
Their debut album Acolyte is a scintillating blend of classic Factory indie dance with the kind of resonant techno sheen that would have been impossible in the legendary label's heyday. Likewise, the Delphic live show has been receiving adulation for it's explosive flurry of frenetic energy and blistering car crash of lights and music.
Joining Delphic at different stops on this Modular throw down will be Sydney shooting stars Bag Raiders, he of Van She Matt Van Schie and the unstoppable Doom and Hoodrat.
Delphic's maiden voyage down under goes down on the below dates.
Acolyte, the debut album, is out now. Download the album for just $15 with every ticket purchased to selected shows.

#35: Delphic
It's unofficial/official Delphic week leading up the the release of Acolyte, and we've got an extremely banging Modcast for you to aurally celebrate with. Late last year, the lads popped into Mike Joyce's 'Alternative Therapy' radio show and played the following set, confirming that not only is 2010 the year of the tiger, but also Delphic.
Listen: Exclusive Delphic Remixes (Riton and Phoenix)
It's all happening right now on the Delphic front, with the release of their debut Acolyte (NME's "first great debut of 2010") right around the corner on January 22, we thought we'd toss a few goodies your way to help tide you over. First up is a pair of killer remixes; Riton getting all up in Delphic's own stomper "Doubt" in addition to team Delphic going all French on Phoenix's "Fences". Have a stream, turn up the speakers and invite the neighbours in.
But that's not all. This week's Modcast instalment will be a all-killer-no-filler mix put together by (you guessed it) Delphic, included with a special announcement.

Delphic
An act that could have come from no other place and time, Delphic craft a shimmering, genuinely modern sound borne of a combination of futuristic vision and good old fashioned, oft-overlooked feeling. The band came together as an avenue for the likeminded lads to explore the seemingly endless dimensions of music made with guitars, with a keen eye on the future and a dab handle on technology, and incorporating inspirations and ideas not just within music but those apparent in abstract art, Russian film, literature and existentialism.
