ModemFI

Modem is a Helsinki-based synth pop duo formed by Tytti Roto and Ville Valavuo in 2020. Both members emerged from the Finnish punk and indie underground scene, playing in bands like Tamara Luonto, Plastic Tones, Kissa, Foreseen, and Kohti Tuhoa before uniting to create electronic pop music inspired by the synthetic sounds of the 1980s. Staying true to their punk DIY roots, the duo handles their own recording, mixing, and artwork, releasing all material through their self-established label Modem Age Records. After releasing two 12" singles - “Elokuvia” and “Luxuria” in 2022 - they unveiled their full-length album in 2024. Modem has since become a fixture in the Finnish club scene and major festivals including Flow Festival and Ruisrock, while also touring across Central Europe and Scandinavia.
