Ladyhawke And The Presets Take Out ARIAs
A big hats off to Modular superstars Ladyhawke and The Presets, who both cleaned up nicely at last night's ARIA Awards. Our favourite songstress took home two Breakthrough Artist awards in both the album and single categories, while Jules and Kim claimed the Best Dance Release for "Talk Like That".
Have a listen to the killer Burns remix of Ladyhawke's "Magic" while we celebrate.

Modular Welcomes The Swiss Aboard
In a time when everyone who isn't Crookers is claiming to be a "disco act", there is an insurmountable wash of pretenders. Adelaide trio The Swiss, however, are a legit live disco band whose existence is based entirely on flavour and good times rather than the Cobra Snake and fitted caps. And, as we collectively move into a new decade, Modular is very chuffed to announce The Swiss are the newest members of the ever-growing Modular family.

Delphic to Release Debut Album "Acolyte"
With two shimmering single releases under their belt, Manchester trio Delphic are set to release their debut album Acolyte on Modular Recordings on January 22 in Australia and New Zealand.
Produced with the Berlin-based techno emigre Ewan Pearson, the man behind the boards on recent records by M83, The Rapture and Lost Valentinos, Acolyte was recorded mostly in Pearson's Berlin studio. It's evident the city's flourishing techno scene was bleeding into the crisp grooves inherent in Acolyte, however never to the detriment of the band's emotive songwriting.
