Modcast #114: Phi Unit + Cousin Cole Double Pack

This week, we present a super special edition of the Modcast this week with a killer double-bill.

Late last year New York DJ/Producers Cousin Cole and Phi Unit released their 'So Emotional' mixtape. Driven by the desire to make an EP of emotional Moombahton: "Emoton" they put together a soft, tissue friendly EP.

They put on a party, 'Moombahton Maxxin', in NYC with DJ Reck every other Thursday at 2A and are currently working on volume 2 but in the meantime they've both made mixes for the Modcast this week.

Modcast #112: Jonti's Be Happy Mix

Modcast #112: Jonti's Be Happy Mix

'This is an all vinyl mix of songs that make me feel like a happy carefree lil kid, I hope they do the same to you too!' says Jonti, a ridiculously talented multi-instrumentalist-cum-vocalist musical overlord-in-the-making.

The former resident of South Africa, who now splits his time between Australia and the US, has worked with Santigold, Mark Ronson, the Dap-Kings, John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile) and more. You can now throw Modular into that mix with the most sunshiney Modcast to date, we present #112.

It's 37 minutes of ear-to-ear beats and gleeful (not that Glee) jams to make your day go off, in the best way.

Modcast #110: Pond Inspirations

Pond's fourth album Beard, Wives, Denim is an audio diary of ten friends' strange, terrible and blissful time in the country trying in vain to be a wholesome family band. It sounds just like it, distorted and woozy and fractured and ultimately nostalgic and loving.

This week's Modcast is a selection of the inspirations and audio fancies behind their music. Sit back and go on a blissed out journey as the boys take you through some fresh Australian jams to some classic British 60s girl-groups and all points in-between. Track-list below.

Mixed by Kevin Parker (Tame Impala) and Rob Grant at Poon's Head Studio in Perth, Beard, Wives, Denim will be out on Modular Recordings March 2nd (AUS), March 5th (UK/EU), and March 6th (US). Pre-order now, via Mod Shop, iTunes, JB Hi Fi.
