Modjo

Modjo was a French house music duo that rose to international fame in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Comprising producer Romain Tranchart and vocalist Yann Destagnol, often known simply as Yann Destal, the group crystallized their place in dance music history with their breakout hit "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)." This track, a seamless blend of funky guitar riffs, bass-driven beats, and smooth vocals, captured the essence of summertime euphoria and became an anthem of the era, not to mention a staple in discos around the globe. Modjo's self-titled debut album, 'Modjo,' followed the success of "Lady," solidifying the duo's reputation for crafting tunes that married the soulful elements of disco with the pulsating rhythms of house music.

While their active years as a partnership were relatively brief, with their main period of activity ranging from the late '90s to the early 2000s, Modjo left an indelible mark on the dance genre. After enjoying a period marked by chart-topping singles and extensive touring, the duo decided to part ways, pursuing individual artistic endeavors. In recent years, however, there's been a revival of interest in their signature sound, as evidenced by their music being revisited and reimagined in projects like "Lady (Hear Me Tonight) [Remix 2023]" and the "Lady (Frazon, Taraz & Cleyp Zoon Bootleg Remix)." The remastered version of their self-titled album, 'Modjo (Remastered),' offers fans both old and new a crisp and rejuvenated listening experience, ensuring that the Modjo legacy continues to resonate with audiences in the ever-evolving musical landscape.
