Truncate teams up with Chicago icon DJ Hyperactive for the ‘Trust The Process’ EP, landing on the former’s eponymous imprint this March. Crafted over the past two years in Truncate’s LA studio, the release marks the pair’s first-ever collaboration in twenty years of friendship and sees them delve deep into their decade-long wealth of knowledge of versatile House and Techno.

DJ Hyperactive and Truncate’s ‘Trust The Process’ starts with ‘Universal Function’, a no-holds-barred dance track with mind-addling loops, each sequence carefully overlapping to melt the ‘floor. The title track then strips things back a little, in which they underpin wiggy acid sounds with an effective groove before ‘Space Shuffle’ shoots for the stars with trickling synthlines and rolling rhythm. ‘Matter Of Time’ then closes out this all-purpose offering with dark, bleepy melodies laid over locked organic drums for another tasty set of cuts on the Truncate label.

Truncate, synonymous with the LA Techno scene as one of its most stalwart champions for over a decade, is known for his quality, groove-driven Techno and handy DJ tools on labels like Hardgroove, his Truncate imprint, and jackin’ WRKTRX sublabel. Here, he taps up Chicagoan 90s Techno and House legend and 4 Track Recordings label boss DJ Hyperactive for the ‘Trust The Process’ EP, whose own production credits span labels like CLR, Nachtstrom Schallplatten, and once before Truncate for 2023’s ‘Reptilian Tank’ EP.

Scorch Garnet - Northern Stones (Original Mix)

I've been listening to a lot more ambient mediative hypnotic techno, and deep minimal soundsystem dub. So when Anika offered me the chance to remix Owls, I wanted to combine those vibes – a lush yet sparse sound world, perfect for your forest rave or midnight tramp.

Owls (Haszari woodland dub remix)

Don't get caught in the Convenience Trap. 
Released 28th April 2017.

Since September 2015 Surgeon has been performing live improvised techno using hardware machines. 
This has been a gradual process of evolution over the 25 years that he’s been performing to a point where it really can’t be called DJing anymore.
He’s taken the techniques and inspiration from this live creative process and distilled them into these four tracks.
‘Convenience Trap’ follows on from the techniques learned in his ‘Bland Ambition’ release also on Dynamic Tension.

Always pushing forward against the plague of mediocrity.
