Consisting of Koova (brokn toys), Pip Williams (Central Processing Unit) and Yes Effect, these three experienced producers have blown minds with their ecstatic live performances across the globe. Each listen reveals a new detail of this impossibly intricate yet incredibly effective record. Designed for the club, engineered for the mind.

HYPE 064EP
|
London Modular Alliance returns to Hypercolour with the five-track Wolves EP. "Brockie Det" fires out the blocks with on point electro beats and melancholic pads, whilst "Militant" continues the theme with dusted drums and thick washes of bass for a real futuristic funk moment. The disassembled arrangement of "Advance & Proceed" gives off a cold and discordant atmosphere, but remains in groove and sonically tight, there's a distinct jazz flare in the mix also. "Tremors" hits hard and heavy, giving the Detroit electro cats a run for their money, whilst "Wolves" is a busy and inspired slab of British IDM.

DIREC 004EP
|
Following their appearance on Dimensions Recordings' three part compilation An Introduction, with the twisted "Crosstalk" (DIREC 003EP), London based trio London Modular Alliance step-up to the plate with their first full EP for the label. Across four tracks, London Modular Alliance demonstrates their complete mastery of the electro form with four varied cuts. From the break-y, bubbling, modern acid of lead track, "Hands & Brains" to the Drexciyan underwater inspirations of the closing track "Forbidden", and the brooding machine drone of "I Settled For Her Leftovers", it's clear that the future of the genre belongs to London Modular Alliance.

HYPE 059EP
|
Hailing from London, London Modular Alliance are a trio of modular enthusiasts, often performing live, completely on the fly using modular synths and live improvisation. Members include Koova, Yes Effect, and Pip Williams, but on Home Grown EP, Pip Williams, AKA Phil Venture, strikes alone with four devastating cuts. The production aesthetics across the four cuts are second to none; "Civic Society" pairs up dark atmospherics and driving electro beats, whilst "Home Grown" is a pacey and bustling burner. More forward motion electro vibes are in evidence on "Lucid", and "Saunton" combines dense ambience, broken beats, and acidic bass.
