Music and sound experiments with various instruments including synthesizers (eurorack/modular, semi-modular, digital), guitar, piano, Micro Mellotron,  effects, and field recordings. 

I mostly use this site as a way to share demos.  Tapes and digital albums are available for purchase via bandcamp.  Please prioritize purchasing my releases directly from labels.  

Thanks for stopping by!

P.Towns (aka Pfly) is hard to place, somewhere between a party DJ and a selector. An all around music head or in his own words, "music connoisseur" with a passion for sharing tracks that he likes with those open enough to listen. As a DJ he likes drama, unexpected transitions, contrast, effects induced madness, the occasional live remix, the rawness of human error and long blends.
With a focus on music first and mixing second, he would never claim to be the best DJ. He is, admittedly, his own biggest fan as he only plays his favorite songs. If you would like to hear a collector with no concerns for genres share sounds from simple pop, rare remixes, banging dance tracks, dusty gems, songs that sound so nice you have to play them twice, strange experimental sounds and a bit of everything in between, then give Pfly a listen!

Thanks for listening. Below is my other page for sketches and works in progress:

Derek (aka The Rhythmist, Number 8, Boxbanga) has been making electronic music since 1987. His deep and shuffled grooves layered with abstract textures and funky, disjointed melodies have a futuristic quality that gets your body moving.

Inspired by groups like Art Of Noise, Kraftwerk, and Mantronix he started an all-synth band in high school with some friends. The band broke up shortly after graduating, so he started working on music solo. His first official release on a label was in 1994 on Flask (a subdivision of the now defunkt Silent Records) under the alias ‘Number 8. He teamed up with local veteran producer Mattski and Solid Trax label manager Lucas Rodenbush to launch the Trax Cafe project in 1997. Their EP helped Derek to land apperances on two compilations and to get his own EP on Resource Records in 2000. Since then he has also done releases for labels such as Jump, Random Access Recordings, SIXONESIX, Friction, Diggarama, and Audio Abuse. From 2003 to 2012, Derek ran the DoBox Recordings netlabel to help promote his sound and other like-minded producers from around the world.

Lately you can find Derek doing live PAs around the SF Bay Area with the live improvisational Techno band, Haptic Synapses (along with DoBox label mates Steve Cooley and Qorser). He is also been in the lab doing various remixes and preparing to launch his new label, dbl (pronounced "double").

Hi, I used to make stuff, now I grease cloud gears and make weird music.

I'm also in a band! 

Haptic Synapses : We’re a group of electronic musicians and artists based in the heart of Silicon Valley who get together and improvise long sets of music and visuals. http://hapticsynapses.com
