Working with his traditional partner KENT, MDRNTY launches a second version of the MDRNTY concept. More exclusive, more plugged in and even more unforgettable, MDRNTY+ is a DJ session restricted to a handful of people, in a venue very restricted in size and filmed with 360° technology to live the moment online.

After a hot-air balloon flight over Zürich with Magda the queen of minimal, MDNRTY offered a unique experience during the 2016 Festival: Thrill to Nina Kraviz, Jamie Jones and Guy Gerber live in the télécabine of the remontée des Violettes at Crans-Montana, on respectively the 8th, 9th and 10th April.

"Since its beginnings in 2009 with MDRNTY, we’ve always looked for quirky, unusual exclusive places, where we can welcome the best in electronic music" explains Maxime Léonard, the festival director. "Our success with this concept has made MDRNTY an unmissable event, wherever it takes place and one of the great attractions of the Festival. Today, with MDRNTY+, we’d like to offer to certain guests a concentrated version of what’s best about MDRNTY : the exceptional nature of the environment, the best of electronic music live and a crazy atmosphere."

The Polish artist Magda together with 15 guests kicked off this new concept during a live session in a hot-air balloon a few hundred meters high above Zürich. The whole thing filmed with 360° cameras, festival goers at Caprices could also experience this extraordinary moment in a dedicated space thanks to a total immersion experience with virtual reality headsets. That’s how the greatest number of people can share and enjoy such an exclusive moment with MDRNTY+.



"Thanks to avant-garde virtual reality technology , we wanted to give everyone the chance to be in the centre of one of the most exclusive dance floors in the world" Maxime Léonard said.

A bit crazy, totally unique and exclusive. Unforgettable. 100% MDRNTY.

MDRNTY Records is a brand new label from the celebrated Swiss party brand that is renowned for developing daytime electronic music events in the most outstanding locations of the Swiss Alps for the past 10 years. The first release comes from esteemed techno artist and Visionquest founder, Ryan Crosson, and is due out in April during the MDRNTY festival.

2016 marks the beginning of a new adventure with the MDRNTY Records imprint offering a platform to showcase a network of artists closely related to their events. Be it house, techno or anything in between, the label releases all share a common aesthetic: emotionally charged dance electronic music that fits in any alpine daytime Modernity Event set.

Ryan Crosson certainly knows how to make such music, given that over the last ten years the Detroit born star has put out a wealth of EPs on labels like his own Visionquest—also a touring live and DJ collective made up of Shaun Reeves and Lee Curtiss—plus Minus, Wagon Repair and Supplemental Facts. He has played every major club and festival going, has put out a mix CD and is a true star of the modern underground scene.

Up first is the excellent ‘Aphelion’, a slick and quick electro styled futuristic techno cut with wobbly, flabby bass synths fleshing out an arresting groove. Spaced out pads add depth and serenity in the background of this most emotive and well produced club cut.

‘Appalachia’ is then a much more carefully reduced brew of minimal beats and hits. It is pure electronic funk in its finest form with rubbery kicks, dehumanised vocals and airy hi hats up top, all of which draw you ever deeper into its bubbly rhythms.

Last but not least, ‘Bambi Hands’ is a hiccuping affair with whirring machines, alien synth daubs and playful sine waves all jostling for attention. It makes you want to move your every limb in appreciation and is third completely different cut that makes this EP as varied as it is vital, giving the perfect imagery of those endless dancing afternoons on the top of the Swiss Alps for which Modernity is famous.

This EP is a brilliant way to kick of what is sure to become an essential and carefully curated label for fans of fresh and original house, techno and plenty in between.
