Modular Moods collaborates with other artists and organizations all across the board, such as The Workmen's Circle, DJ Rekha, MC Paul Barman, Daniel Carter, and Heeb magazine, to promote the arts, and more specifically to fuse a variety of cultures with a modern edge. He references Ashkenazic cantorial music, traditional Yemenite melodies, and hip hop. dj handler is a multi cultural maestro spinning a mix of Baile Funk and Afro Beat blended with 80's free style and hip hop, making the most famous US clubs resemble the craziest festivals abroad. dj handler took home the "Best DJ" Award at the 2006 JMA's, London Radio's 104.4 FM called him "one of New York's hottest Jewish musicians," and Heeb Magazine listed him in their "Hundred Heeb ." He resides and maintains his label, Modular Moods, within the auditory heart of Brooklyn.
