Modular Machine Records was founded in 2012 by Steve Romani, in Lyon/France, after 18 years of experimental electronic music production, mostly as a studio rat... The label presents various aspects of his work through the years, with several projects melting old school knowledge & a modern approach.

Graphic Design, as a major part of the electronic/vinyl culture, is involved too. Modular Machine Records is a division of Ded Blokkz, an underground Graphic Design & Photography studio founded by Steve Romani in 1998, creating visual content inspired by materials & structures that constitute the essence of the urban world, but also exploring the incidence of urbanism / industry / technology on human life.

Modular Machine Records releases pure Hardware Electronic Music produced with traditional vintage machines, on limited edition collector vinyl records, with the utmost care for a perfectly sounding & designed product.

Coming Soon!

Transistor Terminal World explores the dark side of the computer world from the inside, with mysterious analog synthesizer sounds made of distorted pure electron flows and 8 bit downsampling digital treatment on filtered versatile beats.

Digital miscommunication and electronic failures are represented through a special 2 LP series totalizing 28 previously unreleased Electronica tracks - including 12 interludes added in 2008 - composed, recorded, mixed & mastered with hardware analog & digital electronic machines only in 2000/2001.

Out Now!

B boys, B girls, after two decades of dark and futuristic electronic music production, I wanted to release a warmer flavored LP about my early influences and american roots. The Yellow Tapes, fully dedicated to New York City is sending you back to the 90's and to former Hip Hop, inspired by Soul, Jazz, Funk and even Dub. This double LP has an authentic abstract and funky taste. Recorded between 1999 & 2015 with hardware samplers, valve processors and vintage synths for a classic fat analog sound. Check it out!
