New Modular E.P
Received a nice email today from the guys at Modular, everything Boy 8 Bit touches at the moment turns to gold and his contribution here is no exception, they dropped us their new E.P here is what they said about it, its a fairly long read but worth it when you reach the end!

Rio is a highlight of the recent album by The Bumblebeez, Prince Umberto & The Sister of Ill and it’s given a slamming dancefloor beef up by East London’s Boy 8-Bit. Boy 8-Bit is a part of London’s all conquering fidget house scene and has recently broadened his wings to release on Diplo’s Mad Decent label, and his remix is a straight up strobe light grind.
White Williams released one of this year’s best debut albums in the shape of Smoke, his beautifully weird, lo-fi electronic pop gem. The New York native turned out to be the perfect fit for Muscles, and transformed the originally slamming, dark dancefloor jam The Lake into a melancholy dreamscape of a tune.
F.A.N. was a sleeper hit on the New Young Pony Club album Fantastic Playroom, and here in the hands of Tampa Bay, Florida’s riot-starting Yo Majesty is turned into the kind of house party classic it always wanted to be. Beyond just remixing the song, the girls from Yo Majesty have added their own raps and taken the song to a whole new place entirely, and it’s a grand place to be.
The Presets have slowly but stealthily gone about world domination and with the release of their new record, Apocalypso, they’ve gone within a whisper of it. This Boy’s In Love is the lovelorn centrepiece of the new record, and appears here remixed by Detroit techno don Kevin Saunderson. Taking in elements of the Detroit sound he’s become so well known and loved for, Kevin Saunderson is the perfect foil for The Presets, turning This Boy’s In Love into a winding, disorienting techno journey custom made for dark dancefloors.
Modular was established in 1998. and since then has released records by the likes of The Avalanches, Wolfmother, Cut Copy, The Presets, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Chromeo and loads more. 2008 will see new music from Cut Copy, The Presets, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Tame Impala, The Bumblebeez and The Bang Gang Deejays”
