"Sumptuous blend of synth heaven" Nemone, BBC Radio 6 Music

The Modified Man duo arrived last year with a remix for legendary Fela Kuti collaborator Dele Sosimi. Reinterpreting passages from scratch with their synth collection and beloved analogue gear, they surrounded it in a deep, broken-soul sound.

The first EP from producers and multi-instrumentalists Dave Koor and Adam Scrimshire extends that bubbling broken, soul, disco sound, while bringing along some deeper ambient weirdness. Among these six tracks we have Modification 1, the very first step into this new project, the first composition and experiment. Every part of this track was made as live. Even down to Scrimshire manipulating the tape echo on Dave Koor’s Rhodes solo as an integral part of the solo, each responding to the other. This set out the concept for all that came after.

Alongside it you will find broken beats (Questionable Things, System Is Fatal) a deep, deep Cobham cover (Stratus), some overloaded, synth-bass-down-tempo weirdness (Hythe Path) and bubbling, ambient soundscaping (Fractus).
