KFW is a renowned master of the Modular, especially in live situations. “101105” is Whitman captured at his most symphonic. Recorded last year at one of the semi-monthly “The Bunker” parties in Brooklyn opening for members of Ectomorph he sent the audience (all high on LSD) straight into sawtooth arpeggio heaven. “101105” is a condensed edit of these recordings, cut on 45rpm for maximum fidelity.

KFW has released records on a myriad of labels, most notably on Kranky and Planet µ (under his Hrvatski pseudonym). Last year’s (vinyl-only) album “Disingenuity b/w Disingenuousness” on Pan made it into many year-end Top 10 lists, including The Wire and Boomkat. This year Whitman has been commissioned a residency at GRM studios to work on a piece for Francois Bayle’s original 80-channel acousmonium!

Alien Radio is one of many aliases of Northern Germany’s Ulf Schütte, a (part-time) member of Datashock, Black To Comm, Aosuke, Phantom Horse, etc. and founder of the Tape Tektoniks cassette label. His recent Modular System explorations showcase a more basic, sketchy and song-based approach, reminding of Jan Jelinek’s Ursula Bogner recordings and having been compared to the likes of Conny Planck, Delia Derbyshire and Dick Raaijmakers. His debut release was a split 7″ on the Belgian Kraak label with Köhn, Ducktails and Peaking Lights. – Dekorder
