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 this new EP for Hypercolour , Pip Williams AKA Phil Venture strikes alone with four devastating cuts. With previous releases on UK techno label Brokntoys and the Kirk Degiorgio’s Applied Rhythmic Technology (ART) label , LMA continue a fine run of releases with the “Home Grown” EP . The production aesthetics across the four cuts are second to none; “Civic Society” pairs up dark atmospherics and driving electro beats that furl into rolling breaks, whilst “Home Grown” is a pacey and bustling burner. More forward motion electro vibes are in evidence on “Lucid” , and EP closer, “Saunton” combines dense ambience, broken beats and acidic bass, all with a gloss and shimmer that makes the music of London Modular Alliance so engaging. Selected DJ reactions Elephino - Looking forward to playing this LOUD A Made Up Sound - I’m digging lucid - thanks Cosmin trg - h e a t Ethyl - Decent this!
