[Biography]

Modulate is the hard industrial project of Manchester based DJ Geoff Lee. Geoff is one of the resident DJ's at alternative/industrial club night, The Wendyhouse, in Leeds on the Mutate industrial/hard dance floor.

The project started life around 2002 and went through various sounds before streamlining the hard electronic industrial sound it now has, taking in elements of EBM, electro, noise and techno.

Modulate saw it's first output with the release of several tracks on compilations in 2006, including prestigious appearances on the influential Endzeit Bunkertracks Act II and Das Bunker: Fear of a Distorted Planet releases.

Ronan Harris (VNV Nation) chanced upon Skullfuck during his DJ tour of the USA in the summer of 2006. After watching it detonate a dancefloor at the Castle club in Tampa, Florida, he contacted the band. The resulting flurry of emails led to an introduction to Infacted records of Germany, one of the biggest electronic/industrial labels in the scene, with a recommendation from Harris which eventually led to them signing to Infacted in December of that year. The band also signed with LA based Sistinas Records for the North American market.

Their debut Skullfuck EP went crashing straight into the German DAC alternative charts reaching number 6 and number 3 in the Greek Alternative Chart giving the band a worldwide club hit that was described as "the industrial scene's club hit of the year" in the US published ReGen magazine.

The band supported VNV Nation around Europe on the Judgement tour and Combichrist around America on the What the Fuck is Wrong with You? tour, playing over 50 dates in 8 countries to over 35'000 fans from March through to September 2007.

Modulate are currently in the studio working on their debut album, due May 2008.
