#43: Lovefingers - Live At PS1
Andrew Hogge AKA Lovefingers needs little introduction amongst the global disco elite, his world famous lovefingers.org has had an undeniable impact on the burgeoning eclectic dance scene of today and has enabled him to bring his eccentric taste and unique DJ style on tours throughout the US, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
'Fingers' has kindly donated to us his live set from PS1 MoMA's Warm-Up, from August last year. A lot has happened since now and then, which is why Loverfingers' recollection of the track list is a little, uh, hazy. e.g. "Hmmm tracklisting... I cant remember half of them, something like this..."

#42: Eric Duncan AKA DrDunks BalEric D Mix 2005 NYC
Understatement: Eric Duncan has his tricky fingers in many a musical pie, so to speak. Whether he's busy being DrDunks, Rubbing 'n Tugging, Still Going, driving the C.O.M.B.I. or playing epic two day sets before literally tearing up the dance floor of the Passerby club - he's doing something - and that something is probably more than what you're doing. Which might explain why he can't seem to remember/be bothered to give us a tracklist for this Modcast. When Eric handed us his 'Eric Duncan AKA DrDunks BalEric D Mix'* mix, he had this to say:

#41: Tao Lin - 'Calmly Emotional' Mixtape
Tao Lin (b. 1983) is the Brooklyn based poet/author responsible for last year's cult hit novella, Shoplifting From American Apparel. His anticipated second novel, Richard Yates, is due to be released by Melville House in September.
Tao: This mixtape contains songs I've consistently listened to the past 1-7 years. I have ordered the songs in a manner that seems satisfying to me. The tone of this mixtape could be described as "calmly, idly, nostalgically, at-times 'energetically' emotional." I have excluded songs that would, to a certain degree, disturb that tone. One could elaborate on the tone by describing it as "low-level, peaceful, considered 'depression'/'inactivity' experienced mostly with acceptance and sometimes with gratitude." Other mixtapes/playlists by me can be viewed here (American Apparel) and here (top 25 most-played).

#40: CFCF
How to be a successful DJ/Producer 101: Win a Crystal Castles remix context. Then remix Sally Shapiro, HEALTH, Apache Beat and The Presets, inviting praise from Pitchfork. Release the smashing single, "You Hear Colours"/"Invitation to Love" on the Acephale imprint. Do a Modcast.
Montreal DJ/Producer CFCF's new album Continent is all the rage in the blogosphere at the moment - and we're lucky enough to have him on board for this week's Modcast.

#38: Kim Pt. II - Klub Tropikoala
Klub Tropikoala is the 'clubby' brother of Kim's prog-out mix that was dropped in our laps a couple of weeks back.
This time around Mr Moyes teams up with the notorious Kookabruthaz to give us thirteen chunks of exclusive and banging club tunes, including an unreleased Tiga remix from last year and a sneaky preview of a Via Tania remix.
#37: Darcel Disappoints
Darcel doesn't disappoint - well at least in the Modcast stakes. The internet's favourite bespectacled vector cyclops has turned in a smashing (though somewhat one-eyed) selection of tracks that regardless of whether you have 20/20 vision or not, you will thoroughly enjoy. No disappointments here.

#36: Kim Pt. I - Prog-Cast
It's a well known fact that the best things in life come in two parts. Take this week's Modcast for example, put together by the one and only Kim Moyes (aka KIM/Kim from the Presets) who has provided us with a whopping two week's work of musical ear candy. This first installment, the ambient 'Prog cast' is an ode to synthesisers, prog and all things chill. Stay tuned in coming weeks for the 'Clubby' mix.
#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.
#34: Circle Pit
Before stepping out to fill the prestigious position of 'support slot' for Yeah Yeah Yeahs on their It's Blitz! Australian tour, Jack Mannix and Angie Bermuda of Sydney band Circle Pit stopped by Modular HQ with a stack of their favourite records, an iPod full of their favourite MP3s and zero sign of pre-show jitters. A case of beer later and some heavy conversation about the duality of Compact Discs, Jack and Angie put on a stellar show and tell us why they adore the juicy tunes they chose.
