Just Modular First Anniversary

Selten

Marco Selten (1988) grew up in a small town called Mill in the south east of the Netherlands. Growing up with an older brother he got to experience electronic music at a very young age. Going to the big party’s all around the Netherlands, he was experiencing the best sound systems with varying styles ranging from Hardstyle, Hardcore and Techno, to Club, Dubstep and Drum & Bass. His passion in music arose quickly, and he played his first Dj gig at 14 years old after buying his first turntables half a year prior. At the end of his teenage years he developed a unique style, mixing with different setups using vinyl, timecode, Cdj’s, drum computers and samplers. In his 20’s Marco moved to Nijmegen, NL establishing a base for his first production work. The years following he would play at the biggest podia of Nijmegen while also making the step towards city’s like Amsterdam and festivals around. In 2016 he bought his 1st modular synthesizer and started getting deeper into production and performing the years following. In 2020 he decided to move to Barcelona to establish a new base for his upcoming work. After his first EP '1+1', he’s now finalizing his 1st album and already playing live sets with the modular synth.

Francisco Sosa

Yalu

Based in Barcelona, Spain, Federico De Lellis applies a rigorous academic background to the emotional core of electronic music. He research into algorithmic composition and computational creativity informs a performance style that is strictly "here and now." Rejecting pre-recorded sets, he constructs unique sonic architectures in real-time using hardware only, creating an immersive state that exists only for the duration of the night. He founded Morph Modular, a boutique music technology brand born in Italy. Starting with from handmade prototypes, Morph has grown under his leadership as lead hardware designer and developer, crafting specialist Eurorack cases and instruments that are treated as individual pieces of art. This industrial craftsmanship parallels his work with the Cardiopoetica collective, a laboratory of experimentation where he collaborates to fuse poetry, multimedia installations, and sound events into living artworks that adapt to their environment. Whether designing hardware or performing live, his work remains a continuous research into new, uncompromising sounds, balancing the tension between mathematical precision and instinctual release.

Expreso Indochina

Expreso Indochina (Fernando Lopez) uses the modular synth, tape loops and its classical music influences, as well as musique concréte, noise and minimalism, to explore unknown sonic escapes. Formed as a Clarinet player in Venezuela its love for electronic music and synths started at a young age listening to progressive rock music (YES, King Crimson, Rick Wakeman, ELP) and playing in a rock music band called Sur Solar. After coming to Europe, and establishing in Barcelona, came to the ground of modular synthesizers and started producing music with an Eurorack system also developing a taste for the improvisation that the system is capable of. Started playing live in 2023 by playing at friends parties and in 2024 had its first live gigs.
