Modern Condition
Band Story
Modern Condition marks the next chapter for JJ, Q, and Mike Lardy—former members of the pioneering live hip-hop group Hydrophonics. With this new project, the trio channels their deep musical roots into a fresh, forward-thinking sound that blends progressive and alternative hip-hop with propulsive rhythms, slashing guitar lines, and infectious melodic choruses.
Drawing from a wide range of backgrounds and influences, Modern Condition crafts a sound that is unmistakably their own. Their music is dynamic, genre-defying, and unapologetically bold—born from years of experience on stage and in the studio. The result is a band with an electrifying live presence and a creative confidence that commands attention.
Modern Condition’s sonic DNA reflects echoes of Beck, The Black Eyed Peas, Gorillaz, Linkin Park, and Outkast—but what truly sets them apart is the rare alchemy they bring to every track. It's progressive without pretension, alternative without alienation, and always rooted in real emotion and razor-sharp songwriting.
Whether you're a longtime fan from the Hydrophonics days or just discovering their sound, Modern Condition is the evolution you didn’t know you were waiting for.
