Modem is a Helsinki-based synth pop duo formed by Tytti Roto and Ville Valavuo in 2020. Having paid their dues in the Finnish punk and indie underground, the duo set out to create electronic pop music and channel their love for the synthetic sounds of the 1980s. In the past couple years Modem have been touring actively in the Finnish club scene, played some of Finland’s biggest festivals such as Flow Festival, Sideways and Ruisrock, and toured in Central Europe and Scandinavia.
Following the DIY ethos of the punk scene, the band has been very self-sufficient in recording, mixing and artwork, and released everything through their own label Modem Age Records. Modem’s highly acclaimed debut album Megalomania was released in April 2024, and since then the album has been licensed to North and South America, Australia, Japan and Southeast Asia. They are currently booking shows for 2025 and working on a new album, which is expected to be out in 2025.
