Modelers Unveil 'Aura' EP on DC Records and Discuss Their Musical Journey

The Modelers Aura EP arrives on October 30, 2026, via DC Records, featuring two original productions and a remix by Ivan Pugliares & Reezar.

Aura marks another chapter in the journey of Modelers, the Italian electronic music duo formed by Danilo and Filippo. Known for bringing together different musical generations and influences, the pair have developed an identity rooted in Indie Dance, groove-driven productions, and a shared passion for electronic music.

Released through their own DC Records, the EP reflects a philosophy that prioritizes authenticity, positive energy, and musical freedom over passing trends.

With previous releases on labels including Sincopat, Moodmusic, and Urge To Dance, Modelers continue to build their presence within the international electronic music scene while staying connected to the friendship that originally brought the project to life.

Inside the Modelers Aura EP: A New Chapter for the Duo

The Aura EP features two original tracks, Aura and Right, alongside a remix of the title track by Ivan Pugliares & Reezar.

Rather than embracing the darker tendencies often associated with Indie Dance, Modelers have approached this project with a different intention: creating music that feels genuine, energetic, and uplifting.

The duo particularly identify Right as a reflection of their artistic identity, bringing together broken beats, groove-driven vocals, and open synthesizers shaped by their distinctive production approach.

Beyond the release itself, Aura also represents the direction Modelers want to pursue with their sound and live performances.

To discover more about the music, their creative relationship, and what comes next, Melodic Deep caught up with Modelers for an exclusive interview.

Exclusive Interview: Modelers on 'Aura', Their Career and What's Next

1. The New EP

• What was the inspiration behind your new EP, and what makes this release special to you?

Since this EP is releasing on our label, we stayed true to DC Records’ core philosophy: a sound that stays away from pitch-black tones, keeping things groovy, authentic, and completely free from trends just pure music that spreads positive energy. Our goal with this EP was to share joy.

2. Behind the Music

• Is there one track on the EP that feels particularly personal to either of you? Why?

Yes, we feel that Right truly reflects who we are as artists. The track pulls together all the signature elements of our sound from the broken beats and the groove-driven vocal to the open synths crafted with our specific sonic aesthetic.

3. Your Journey

• Looking back at your career together, what's one moment that really changed things for Modelers? Or Is it still to come?

Well, that's a great question! We’re not sure if we’ve hit that single defining moment in our career just yet, but having Âme support our track Gozo for several months last year definitely elevated the Modelers name to another level on the global scene.

4. Artistic Vision

• Looking back at your career together, what's one moment that really changed things for Modelers? Or Is it still to come?

Yes, we have a clear vision for the future of our music, which goes hand in hand with our live show. We’d love for our performance to eventually feel like a true concert experience, so we’re steering our music in that direction without ever losing the core elements of our sound or compromising our identity. Step by step, we’re aiming to create music that can be experienced beyond the traditional club environment.

5. Beyond the Studio

• When you're not making music or touring, what do you each enjoy doing to disconnect and recharge?

We make sure to take time for ourselves and focus on our personal hobbies for instance, Filippo loves hitting the gym, while I (Danilo) enjoy taking long walks. This really helps us disconnect and recharge. The great thing is that we’re close friends outside of work too, so we often go out to dinner together just to talk about life in general

6. The Personal Side

• You've known each other for years. What's one thing about each other that fans might be surprised to discover?

  
  

One side of our personality that might surprise fans is how deeply rooted we are in core values like friendship and family. Both of us always make a point to find time for our respective friends and loved ones. We absolutely love partying, the nightlife culture, and all the emotions it gives us every single time, but we also love having a simple coffee with the people who have supported us from day one.

Beyond the Dancefloor: What's Next for Modelers?

What stands out from the conversation is how closely Modelers connect their music with their personal values.

While their productions are designed to connect with audiences on the dancefloor, their longer-term ambitions extend beyond traditional DJ performances. The duo envision a live experience that feels closer to a concert, allowing their music to develop in new directions without sacrificing the elements that define their sound.

Their friendship remains equally important. Between studio sessions, touring, and everyday life, Danilo and Filippo continue to build a project shaped as much by their personal connection as by their musical influences.

With Aura, Modelers take another step toward that vision, bringing their approach to Indie Dance to DC Records while looking ahead to new creative possibilities.
