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.

“Let's Fucking Go!”

Alex Cordova is a force to be reckoned with in the underground music scene, known for his electrifying catchphrase that ignites the crowd's energy every time he steps up to perform. Hailing from Jackson, Wyoming, with roots in Tlaxcala, Mexico, Alex's journey started in the vibrant atmosphere of small house parties and bars. From those incredible beginnings, he gained prominence at the pre-party for the EDM festival "Holi Fest" in Tlaxcala, Mexico. As he returned to his hometown, he meticulously refined his signature sound, transitioning through Trance, Hardstyle, and House, ultimately embracing Techno and Hard Dance Music—his performances radiate rhythmic intensity that captivates every audience.

Now, Alex is boldly leaving Wyoming for Utah, where he's been making waves in the underground scene, performing at local event holders like “eta.45, V2 presents, Blaq Void, Intricacy, Electronic Continuum, and much more” in Salt Lake City. His standout performances, including a notable gig for the underground collective "eta.45," demonstrate his dedication to reviving rave culture. Recently, he delivered an unforgettable set opening for KLOUD at the iconic Masonic Temple, propelling his career to new heights. Since then, he has been instrumental in nurturing fresh talent within the scene, directly supporting luminaries like A*S*Y*S and Greg Downey, and recently taking the stage alongside DØMINA through Blaq Void.

Alex isn't just participating; he’s leading the charge in the local underground community. He's passionate about introducing niche sounds that deserve more attention and is making waves with his new direction towards "Techno in its purest form" or "Cinematic Techno." His powerful music resonates deeply within the community, solidifying his status in the Utah music landscape. The question is not about what more he can do; it’s about how high he can reach.

This is Alex Cordova, and I’m here to unleash Cinematic Techno and Techno in its purest form, creating a scene where we all belong!
