# Moduretik on the cold wave
Jan Jiskra has just released *Fantas*, a minimal wavey offering full of
cold-blooded atmospheres and synthy soundscapes. Many of the tracks on
the young musicians' new album feature deadpan vocals both in English
and Czech. Tracks like 'We Dancing' are slow, lingering and haunting;
one could imagine them somewhere in a New York or Berlin dark place in
the '80s as well as today, as the music echoes the current
cold-wave-minimal-synth mania.
Moduretik has experimented with various guises of electronic music, from
8-bit to his recent, increasingly dark minimal-wave influenced songs. It
doesn't come as a surprise, then, that he is supporting NYC coldwave
outfit **Xeno & Oaklander**, whose tour schedule also includes
Prague on 14 November as part of the minimal synth
night **RARE**.
