Moderator

In 2015, Moderator made a significant impact with his debut album, The World Within, which marked his entry as a serious player in the downtempo and trip-hop scene. Garnering support from global audiences and radio stations, Moderator took his music to European stages, leaving a trail of head-bobbing fans in his wake.

His subsequent works, Sinner’s Syndrome and Midnight Madness, not only solidified Moderator's position but also achieved the remarkable feat of becoming #1 best-selling albums on the Bandcamp music platform. These releases showcase Moderator's ability to navigate through various genres, creating a sonic experience that captivates and surprises.

The collaborative effort with Oddly Humes, Forbidden Acts Of Vaudeville, is a testament to Moderator's boundary-defying approach. Straddling continents and effortlessly traversing Trip-Hop, Lounge, Chill, and Delta Blues, the album tells a unique story. If Quentin Tarantino were directing a Mexican Western set in the 60s, this would be the perfect soundtrack—intertwining villains, heroes, soul, and mystery with every note.

From the ominous anticipation of ‘Nighttime Is Almost Here’ to the lounge tribute of 'Heartaches and Troubles,' the album takes listeners through a maze of textures and stories. Notable tracks like ‘Just Before Dawn’ announce the light of the day, infusing blues influences into the melancholic waves. Tracks like ‘Twisted Thrill’ evoke the spirit of a southern juke joint, while ‘Them’ combines moody vocals with portents.

Released on December 10, 2023, the album is a masterpiece of collaborative artistry, with Moderator and Oddly Humes seamlessly blending their talents in production, arrangement, and mixing. Vlad Zameretz's added electric guitar on select tracks enriches the sonic landscape, creating an auditory adventure that transcends genres and captivates the listener's imagination.
