Seattle-based duo Modera has been making waves over the past year, subtly infiltrating the airwaves with compelling tracks. Emerging seemingly out of the blue, this dynamic team has made it their mission to fuse the grandeur of cinematic scores with the vibrant rhythm of melodic house. The outcome is Modera, a musical endeavor characterized by an intricate blend of orchestral elements with club-friendly percussions, thereby striking a unique balance in today’s music scene.
Their unconventional sound hasn’t gone unnoticed, securing them the support and endorsement of industry heavyweights such as Nora En Pure, Tritonal, Sultan + Shepherd, Don Diablo, and Nicky Romero, among others. Their debut album is set to grace the industry in the Fall of 2023, marking an exciting milestone in their musical journey.
Modera’s latest venture is an hour-long mix curated exclusively for Magnetic Magazine, offering fans a taste of their distinct sound that effortlessly marries the ethereal with the electronic. This compelling mix showcases their talent for layering textures and building immersive soundscapes that carry the listener on a sonic journey. It offers a preview of what to expect from their forthcoming debut album, providing an immersive experience that hints at the full breadth of their creativity and technical skill.
Modera’s ‘From Walks of Life’: A Musical Collaboration to Remember
The third single from their forthcoming album is a memorable collaboration between the American duo and Phoebe Tsen. Titled ‘From Walks of Life,’ this track is their second collaboration on the Colorize label, following 2022’s ‘Lotus Flower.’ This fresh offering starts off with the gentle tinkling of a piano from Modera, accentuated by Tsen’s pristine vocals. As the track progresses, it builds a propulsive groove bolstered by pulsating, bouncy synths and a warm bass line.
This pairing of acts lends a delicate sensibility to the track, adding to its overall allure. The track ‘From Walks of Life’ is a testament to the duo’s evolving sound, highlighting their ability to unite different musical elements in a cohesive, compelling manner.
