Cellmod
Active since 2007, Cellmod is the electronic project of Juan Ramon Espinosa, a Puerto Rican-born and Miami-raised producer, composer, and remixer. Cellmod blends the beat-forward production of electro and drum and bass with IDM, trance, trip hop, and more while infusing the rhythmic sensibilities of world music and climactic energy of orchestral movements.
Coming of age in Miami’s flourishing electronic music scene, Espinosa developed a deep passion for electronic music before honing his own style, taking inspiration from a number of subgenres, while creating immersive sonic and conceptual worlds.
Often collaborating with outside vocalists, Cellmod delivers sly social and personal commentary atop a foundation of impeccable sound design and a master’s knowledge of electronic music history. Juan is also a long-time graphic designer, considering the visuals accompanying his releases extensions of their overall theme and narratives.
Recent collaborations and remixes include Stewart Copeland and Ricky Kej (remixing “A Prayer” from their Grammy-winning album Divine Tides), Moris Blak, God Module, Pete Crane (Shiv-r), Raziel Panic (You Shriek), and more. Recently, Cellmod made their long-awaited live debut sharing the stage with Daniel Meyer of Covenant and Haujobb.
Cellmod’s cinematic electro-odyssey Rituals is available now.
