Moderator - Midnight Madness

 



Moderator is an Athens, Greece based instrumentalist with a hip/trip hop skeleton, fusing everything from psychedelic to soul on the surface.  I'd first heard of him through his 2013 album 'The Trip' -- drawn in by the album's artwork, similarly how I've been reintroduced to the newest 2021 release 'Midnight Madness'.  His latest is a little darker tinged than I remembered his sound being, with the all encompassing takeaway being that this is simply a 'cool' sounding record; whatever your background of preferences are I think you'll find it difficult to not vibe out to the big beats and polished production.  The entire album just sounds massive and layered and that impact feels immediate and fluid throughout.

'Midnight Madness' and all of his digital releases on his bandcamp go for $1 a piece, which is somewhere between a steal and a gift.  Due to the influx of demand more vinyl won't be available until June, but it seems like a good idea with the artwork put together by 'Irefaels'.
