Moullinex is on fire. After his tropical house anthem “Sunflare” he smashed it up with the vintage acid Modular Jam – which was supported by Tim Sweeney, Hot Chip, Digitalism and even British old school house legend Ashley Beedle. Now he gave Modular Jam to some friends and interesting newcomers to rework: Justin Faust, Earl Grey aka Danny from The C90’s, Say Again and Worship.
