Moda is a party, a label, a group of artists and a pretty sweet music blog. 

Since launching a few months ago the Moda Mix Series has quickly developed into an unmissable collection of finely crafted, forward-thinking mixes, from some of the most exceptional talents in electronic music. 

For the 11th episode we're extremely proud to be handing over the reigns to one of the biggest names in the game Groove Armada.

We very excited to announce that after about a million years of saying we're gonna start a Podcast, we've finally done just that. It's gonna be a monthly affair and allow us go off on tangents that don't' necessarily work on radio. We'll also use it as a means to road test demos, new stuff from friends and forthcoming Moda and Moda Black releases. For that reason we can't include a track list - but we're very excited to get your feedback, based entirely on the music itself!

For the last few months, I've been laying low in the long grass. And for good reasons… Aswell as slipping some new remixes under my belt, I've found the second member of Toy Tigers, in the form of Joel (Flights - you may remember him on Moda Volume 1?)  We're working on a whole load of new stuff, which we hope to be able to play you very soon. It could be an EP, it could be a string of Singles, we'll see where the wind blows! 

Until then, here's our 2-Step Tweak of SBTRKT 's Hold On to keep you moving in the right direction!

On August 12th we'll be celebrating the birthday of one of the best club nights in the world We Love... Space

Few memories sit quite so fondly as those made in the sprawling corridors and expansive rooms of Space. From the amazing Funktion 1 sound system, to the brilliantly diverse line-ups that remain true to their longstanding music policy. Yup, we're long time devotees of the We Love… experience.

A few months ago we received a promo from Wolf Music. In a world of expensive publicity campaigns, over the top PhotoShoppery and hologram rappers this promo was as understated as they come. And that's exactly why it stood out. 

The Wolf Music clan don't try hard, but they don't need to - their music does the talking. Although their releases are dripping with old skool textures and vintage warmth, their ideas are fresh and forward thinking.

We're absolutely chuffed about the love shown for our first release on Moda Black! We've had nice words about Hot Since 82 from Dubfire, Sasha, Lee Curtis, DJ T, Claude Von Stroke and many others.

You can now spend your pennies and buy the EP from Beatport, iTunes or Juno.

Many labels claim to be like a family, but few can say that with such sincerity Dirtybird. Not only are they threaded together by musical output, but you could be forgiven for thinking they've all been friends their entire lives. There's a mentality, a sense of humour, a decorum that they all share. Whilst the level of quality the label stands for is nothing short of immense, the artists themselves are some of the nicest folk in the game.

It must be two years since we first became friends with the guys at Darling Records. Our shared passion for seminal French house music, samples and loops meant we've always had a lot to talk about. 

As soon as we clapped ears on Axel Le Baron's Primary School we knew we needed to coax an EP out of him… and finally the time has come!

Fresh, French and full of funk - Axel has delivered four filtered jams that will keep the Crydafreaks bumpin' all Summer long.

Say a prayer for your sanity, for the forthcoming Easter weekend is looking to be something of a big one, culminating the massive Sunday night party at Heaven in London.
