Duration: 32 min 44 s
Description: In 2017, aged 11, Josh was nominated for an SA DJ Award in the student category. The whole project fell apart just a few weeks before the awards event unfortunately but the dude had a Facebook page and got some votes on the SMS line and everything. A lot of fun!

Dirty Epic presents its eleventh episode of the Amplify Series podcasts, this time welcoming @truncate aboard.

After being introduced to electronic music back in the early 90's in Los Angeles, a teenage David Flores was hooked. He started DJing across Southern California on the DIY warehouse, backyard, desert, and rave circuit. His style then was as varied as the local scene - a myriad of sounds ranging from house to acid to techno to hardcore. After a few years solely DJing, he began releasing original music under the monikers David F & Audio Injection, which landed him on labels such as Monoid, Stimulus, 4 Track & LA label Droid Recordings. His association with Droid Behavior began in 2003 as resident at the now defunct yet infamous and internationally acclaimed Interface event series alongside Drumcell and Raiz. He currently runs a new event series together with Drumcell and Oktaform named “Observe”.

In early 2011, he started the project Truncate to focus on the deeper, raw side of techno. His Truncate releases early on gained critical acclaim from world class underground talent such as Modeselektor, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann, Chris Liebing, Speedy J, DVS1, Luke Slater, Ben Sims, Josh Wink, Eats Everything, Joris Voorn, and many more. Since then, he has provided remixes for artists across the musical spectrum including Kink, Slam, Loco Dice, Ben Sims, Josh Wink, Ellen Alien, Miss Kittin, Carl Cox & Nicole Moudaber. He has also released original works on 50 Weapons, Ultramajic, Blueprint, Ei8ht, Figure and of course his own imprint Truncate. He has also collaborated with Jimmy Edgar, Chambray and most recently started a new project with Ben Sims as ‘Assailants’ which they’ve released on their own imprint ‘Obscurity Is Infinite’.

A rigorous international tour schedule has since followed, including stops and regular appearances at the most prestigious venues and events, including Berghain in Berlin, Fabric in London, Concrete in Paris, The Movement Festival in Detroit, Womb in Tokyo, Dimensions Festival in Croatia, Awakenings in Amsterdam, Output in New York, and many more.

With his heavy remix, production and touring schedule there is still no slowing down for David. He continues to shape an evolving sound and to champion the Los Angeles underground.

About the cd:
A superb surprise episode for 041 in the series. Massive thanks to Nick Sneddon for sending over some epic CDs recently. We are really happy to feature more downtempo CDs... it feels like the recovery soundtrack to countless nights clubbing and those sun kissed days that followed (well maybe not so much if you grew up in the UK).

Considering this came out in 1996, it features some simply gorgeous deep house and laid back electronic which go onto cement why DJ Harvey is a cult dj amongst fans and fellow spinners. It's a pleasure not just remember my own collection, but have other people send in theirs. And it's even better discovering that there's hundreds of other classics out there which need to be shared with everyone. Thanks again for the good vibes.

DJ Mix - Josh Four - The Nominee

Episode 81 of the Gangstercast series is brought to us by Dennes Deen. Some call it classically trained. Others call it old school. Many call it the only way: Dennes Deen earned his stripes as a real DJ. Not as a DJ/producer. Not as a producer who has to play gigs to pay for his studio. Not because his management told him to. Dennes is a DJ. A deeply passionate one, who’s been hustling for 20 years.  

One of Austria’s most in-demand DJs with a schedule that takes him around the world, Dennes – who beat 40,000 hopefuls to become a Burn Studios finalist in 2012 – has developed a large repertoire of releases to date on respected imprints such as Schönbrunner Perlen, LevelNONzero, Alchemy and DJ Sneak’s eminent beat brand I’m A House Gangster... A serious moment in any artist’s career, this is one especially significant for him, as Sneak’s ‘Keep On Groovin’’ was the first record Dennes bought as a DJ all those years ago.

When we sat down with Dennes Deen we asked how this mix represents him as an artist and he said, "the mix is kind of a retrospective view over my resent sets. I love to play various, eclectic sets, because I find it pretty boring to play the same sound for hours. Thats why the mix consists of various subgenres - but in the end of the days I just want to play tunes with that certain 'groove'. No matter what genre ist is. Thats just me."

He went on to explain, "The 'House Gangster' movement is not just a hype for me. It's a philosophy. A way of living. Some people live Kung-Fu, others would die for Rock'n'Roll, 'I'm a House Gangster' is the way I live since 20 years."

764 - Tom Middleton - Weekend Warm Up (1999)

SE62 - True Force

I'm a one time DJ of little to no repute. I played in clubs twice a week in the late 90s and since then I have made occasional appearances playing sets to small groups of family, friends and unsuspecting strangers at house parties, cocktail bars and the occasional club.  I was the quiet half of the Love:House and Co.Funk events. @mattsuttner was the noisy half & responsible for all that punctuation. Oh, and I played 115 once. I play music I like which is cool if you like the music I like. 

Josh my kid. He used to live at soundcloud.com/josh-four but we've merged accounts and will start uploading back2back drum & bass sets soon too. Josh has been mixing since he was about 8. He started on Traktor and a cheapie Numark controller. But soon went to the Pioneer DJ Mix school as their youngest ever pupil at the time. Dude was mixing on NXS before he turned 10.

We mix at home. Mostly.
