Info:
Many electronic producers make music that sounds like the future. Alavux is making the future and
has carved himself a millennium head start. Whilst many of his peers maintain a course along the
Kraftwerk or Drexciyan trajectory Alavux is committed to creating his own path; still drawing on the
inspiration these great pioneers gave to so many. but choosing to adopt their pioneering spirit and
innovation rather than their sound and track structures. Many a conversation has taken place about
whether Alavux is a maker of techno or electro. His discography tells you that he can pull off both very
well and he shows you that both can be combined with explosive results. The sheer power and
intensity of his grooves make each track a force to be reckoned with. Supported by Dave Clarke. Billy
Nasty. Igloo Magazine. Thomas H Green (The Arts Desk). DJ Stingray UMWELT and more."

Phil got his first pair of turntables in 2001 and has been passionately collecting records and DJing ever since. His first residency came at the age of 17 for deep house night ‘No Shanti’ in York followed by a residency at ‘Howdoyoudo?’ along with many guest slots around the city. During his time in Nottingham he started his own event ‘Sherbert’ at the infamous ‘Moog’ pub before founding ‘Subterranea' in 2013 - ten years later Phil remains resident DJ and co-promoter. 

In 2022 Phil joined the team at The Imaginarium and opened Plant & Deck, Leeds’ only house plant and record shop. The shop specialises in house plants of all varieties and left-field leaning electronic music from ambient and electronica through house, techno, electro and breaks. Green fingers aside this allows him the opportunity to tip the city’s vinyl diggers by drawing upon his extensive knowledge of, and passion for, electronic music.

In over 20 years of DJing at, and throwing, parties he has warmed up and closed for countless DJs including Radioactive Man, Conforce & Versalife, Surgeon, Jamie Anderson, Trevino, Neville Watson and Alex Smoke to name just a few. Playing exclusively on vinyl, Phil is an accomplished DJ in his own right with shelves and shelves of records fit for any dancefloor. For the modulations mix series he has dug out an hour of spaced out electro wobblers, the majority of which are available at Plant & Deck.

Modulations is back — with a new musical direction.

In this next chapter, the podcast will focus mainly on live performances from electronic music artists who embrace a DIY approach to creativity — many of whom perform at EMOM and similar grassroots events.

Over the past few years, I’ve been attending various EMOM (Electronic Music Open Mic) events across the north of England. It’s at these gatherings that I’ve discovered some incredible talent — from both familiar and often unknown artists. This includes close friends, whom I’ve had the pleasure of watching take to the stage and perform for the very first time. The whole experience has been inspiring — and eye (or ear) opening, to say the least.

Click here for more information about EMOM and how to get involved: https://electronicmusicopenmic.com

In addition to live performances, I’ll occasionally upload DJ sets — from myself and a few handpicked others. No genre boundaries — just the good stuff.

If you create live electronic music — whether you play at EMOM events or elsewhere — I’d love to hear from you.


To kick things off, please welcome Boris Donkson.

Boris info:

Boris Donkson (UK)
Presenting sounds out of context gives Boris Donkson’s work a firm Concrète base.  Passionate about driving interest in electroacoustic music, he performs in pubs and clubs across northern England. As a mature student, a B.A. in Music Production rekindled his passion for early electronic music, and saw him study Sonic Art (MA) at Leeds Beckett.  The regular use of spoken word within his work has led to compositions appearing in concerts and poetry podcasts. Broadening the scope of his work to include mixed media and installation pieces, Donkson’s still attempting to bridge the gap between illegal events and formal academic settings.

For episode two we welcome Askalotl to the fold.

This is the first of a set of four live recordings from the event 'ADSR' held in Chapel Allerton, Leeds.

Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufTE_Ehtwwg

Askalotl Info:

I’m Askalotl a.k.a. known as Saul, and like a lot of synth-loving blokes that reach the age where they start to lose hair on their heads and replace it with hair on their backs, I decided it was time to have a mid-life crisis and get into music hardware.

I’m Leeds based but I’m a hillbilly at heart, hailing from a sleepy drinking town in North Yorkshire. I actually moved to the city 8 years ago with the intention of connecting with other music tech heads, but I ended up partying instead.

One day I was approached by a big, grumpy guy called Chris Bate who’s sense of humour was dryer than your mouth the morning after 20 pints and a couple of bags - but he was super welcoming and encouraged me to come along to an EMOM - rather cleverly finding me through an ad for a Bastl Softpop 2 that I’d placed on FB marketplace.

I suppose I should say something about music here, really. I currently use a Digitakt MK1 for drums and other samples and a Roland SP404 MK2 for live performance fx like High Pass FIlter and Frequency Isolation. My broke-ass mindset is how can I do the most with as little as possible, actually removing other devices from my live set-up. The material I’m writing at the moment is influenced by old school dance, hip hop and metal, alongside all the hard techno and alt-dance that I listen to these days.

If you’re reading this, check out Dean and I’s night called ADSR - currently residing at Northlight Arts Centre, Chapel Allerton, Leeds. More info on our socials, cheers.

For episode three we welcome Entropy Tango.

This is the second of a set of four live recordings from the event 'ADSR' held in Chapel Allerton, Leeds.

Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXg8F8C2aRo

Info:

Entropy Tango is the musical project of John Stratford.

I’ve been deeply involved in immersive sound experiences through pagan and shamanic camps, where live drumming and chanting sessions were recorded in a Roundhouse—an acoustically rich, natural space that shaped the character of the sound. During these gatherings, I captured hours of raw audio using a Tascam recorder, including performances with Tibetan cymbals, Ting Sha, tongue drums, and various other acoustic instruments.

These field recordings were later processed through my modular setup. At the heart of my system is Pamela’s Pro Workout, serving as the main clock and trigger source for the Rample—a four-channel sample player loaded with loops and textures, including sampled drum loops created in Studio One.

I incorporate analog noise to modulate various voices, and use modules like the Cursus Iteritas Percido—a dynamic wavetable oscillator—routed through the Viol Ruina, a low-pass filter with built-in distortion. The result is a layered, evolving sound that merges organic recordings with modular synthesis.

We’re very pleased to welcome The Last DJ, aka Nick Hayes, to this episode of Modulations—a standout figure in the online hardware scene, known for his DAWless techno jams, playful energy, memorable performances in unlikely places (including a wheelie bin), and hands-on synth tutorials.

Info:
The Last DJ Nick Hayes started making music at the age of 59, initially using samples. He then jumped straight into using synths with the Digitone and now uses the Syntakt for all music creation, along with the Pioneer RMX500, to create all music completely DAWLESS.

For episode five Modulations gladly welcomes A.C.R.L

This is the third in a set of four live recordings from the event 'ADSR' held in Chapel Allerton, Leeds - 06/06/2025.

Info:

I've been fully modular for about a year now. Pushing towards mainly being live improvisation, taking off from where I last finished and seeing where the mood takes me. Some prepping of samples is required but I’ve chosen synths for most of my modules for me to be able to sound design live. The 1010 bluebox and my 64 knob midi controller are the central parts enabling hands on control. Mutes and 4 sends per channel give great scope for “playing” the mixer.

For episode six in the series, Modulations are thrilled to present a live recording of a piece named 'When Aurora Danced for Me by 'Firebox and The Doctor'.

About Firebox and The Doctor:

Linda Pope, an environmental scientist with a background of folk and classical singing combined with a passion for traditional step and modern dance together with partner Andy Fierman, an electronics engineer, with a long term fascination with electronic music are exploring a new creative path through electronic music.

Andy’s fascination with electronic sound and music dates back to the 1970s, inspired by artists like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Sculze and Brian Eno. Over decades, he’s built his own analogue synths and embraced digital systems, using various platforms such as Hybrid Systems Music 500 on a BBC computer through Beast and LMMS on Linux before settling on SunVox on Linux and Android. 

Whether it's her ear for weaving a haunting lyric through an ethereal soundscape, setting traditional clog steps to the manipulated sounds of the machinery that inspired them and then freestyling them into an unfamiliar world of electronic processing that transforms them into the music that they were originally danced to or singing a cappella into a process that generates a choir of angels, Linda's enthusiasm to blur the boundaries between the different worlds of music and dance be it folk, classical, modern or electronic, brings a kind of creative iconoclasm. 

Together, Linda and Andy fuse traditional vocals and step dance with experimental electronics and processes to create music that bridges genres and eras.

About When Aurora Danced For Me:

Inspired by a rare and breathtaking display of the Northern Lights over Yorkshire in October 2024, When Aurora Danced For Me is a deeply personal piece capturing the awe of that night. Created entirely in SunVox using live and pre-programmed synthesis, including recordings of the artist’s voice, the music evokes the shifting colours and movement of the aurora as it unfolded across the sky.

Performed live under the name "Firebox without The Doctor", the piece exists in two versions: a 14-minute rendition from York EMOM XIX (Nov 2024), and a 20-minute version from Whitby EMOM (May 2025). The swirling, shimmering, and crackling textures reflect both the visual spectacle and the sound of VLF (Very Low Frequency) radio signals often associated with auroral activity.

Dedicated to Linda, Jacky Botterill, and Dave Walker, with a title inspired by a comment by Rebecca Denniff, this is a sonic tribute to wonder, nature, and friendship.

Myoptik - Ping Discs Showcase for Modulations

Myoptik’s podcast is a mix that he has made entirely using tracks from his Ping-discs label, so ALL of the tracks are available on albums at the myoptik bandcamp site, https://myoptik.bandcamp.com

Lots of the tracks are taken from the eclectic compilations Musical Mastication Volumes 1-4 and Leap Year Jamboree, but there’s also other Ping-discs tracks in there too.

Over the course of one and three-quarter hours he has managed to squeeze in great tunes by the likes of Roy Of The Ravers, Cursor Miner, The Horn, Misterben, Myoptik, Bedouin Ascent, Nanobot, Southfacing, Peata Out and many many others, including plenty of surreal splatterings from Shrimpsalad.

It’s a real journey, but hopefully a fun one for anyone who takes the ride. It’s certainly not your average mix…!!

Errorbeauty - Mix for Modulations

Bulgarian born, London-Berlin based Errorbeauty has been meticulously piecing together her impressive catalog of releases since beginning Djing back in 2003.
A professional flute musician by way of background, she gradually became drawn to electronic music’s intricately textured soundscapes - more specifically the broken, aggressive shades of Detroit Electro.
In 2012 she moved to London where she started her musical journey as a producer, meeting many artists whose music she's been collecting for ages, and rapidly appeared on the scene playing alongside Plaid, Mr Switch (4 times DMC World champion), Andrea Parker, ADJ, Bitstream, Flint Kids to name a few.
Errorbeauty’s work continues to evolve and offers listeners a distinct reflection of Motor City’s relationship with the genre whilst demonstrating her own unique perspective of Electro, which brought her twice to the legendary Tresor Club for Berlin Atonal.
Earlier this year she has performed at Berlin's underground well-respected event series Skizze in OHM as well as Bold, Exquisite Berlin and Disobedient Circumstance at Suicide Circus Berlin where she proudly became one of the residents in the club this year.
Together with XOR12, she recently launched the new electro/techno record label Arkada Records. The first EP featuring T15DM and Errobeauty herself was released on July 15th this year.
Coming next is the second EP on her label Arkada Records which has plans to be released on 15th of April.

Modulations is back — with a new musical direction.

In this next chapter, the podcast will focus mainly on live performances from electronic music artists who embrace a DIY approach to creativity — many of whom perform at EMOM and similar grassroots events.

Over the past few years, I’ve been attending various EMOM (Electronic Music Open Mic) events across the north of England. It’s at these gatherings that I’ve discovered some incredible talent — from both familiar and often unknown artists. This includes close friends, whom I’ve had the pleasure of watching take to the stage and perform for the very first time. The whole experience has been inspiring — and eye (or ear) opening, to say the least.

Click here for more information about EMOM and how to get involved: electronicmusicopenmic.com

In addition to live performances, I’ll occasionally upload DJ sets — from myself and a few handpicked others. No genre boundaries — just the good stuff.

If you create live electronic music — whether you play at EMOM events or elsewhere — I’d love to hear from you.
