Modular People

Just as summer's come to an end (in some places), Stereogum have taken it upon themselves to compile an extensive list of the '40 Best New Bands of 2010' in alphabetical order and featuring Modular's very own starlets Tame Impala and ceo. But this is no ordinary list - it comes complete with bonus mixtape, packing a 'side A' and 'B' for authenticity's sake.

Be sure to check out the list and score some the killer tunes, here.

The Swiss get familiar with/offer a solid, yet refreshingly different, take on Norwegian electro-pop royalty Annie's huge 2009 tune, "Songs Remind Me Of You".

RCRDLBL featured the Swiss/Donnie Sloan remix last week in honour of the group's recent US visit, so head over there to nab it and make it yours.

While Bag Raiders' new single "Way Back Home" has been doing the rounds on the airwaves, its accompanying video has been receiving an equal amount of love and praise. To celebrate "Way Back Home"s awaited release into the wild we'd like to treat you all with a free download of an exclusive remix of the track by Harvard Bass - for all Modular People members.

See that 'sign up/login' box at the top of the page? Acquaint yourself with it, because as of now we'll be starting to give away exclusive content to Modular People members on a regular basis - so its worth the ten seconds it takes to fill out the sign up form. For those who are already members, simply make sure you're logged in then check your profile: your free download awaits.

Chances are if you've stumbled into a club, wobbled at a party, looked into the light at a festival or dawdled along the radio dial in the last 2 years, you've been inadvertently exposed to the Bag Raiders. Now the boys are finally ready to deliver their long overdue and lovingly anticipated debut self-titled album later this year.

A collection of thoughts, ideas and memories, Bag Raiders transcends typical dance and pop boundaries, showcasing the creativity of a band at the forefront of modern production. The album ticks the right boxes for fans new and old, coming correct with sing-a-long choruses, deep-breath anthems, blissful chill and pure dancefloor energy. In short Bag Raiders debut album adds a new dimension in the cluttered and diluted dance world.
