Missing

Missing (Emanuel De Vayrac Remix)

"Music is a defining element of character" <3 

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.

Emanuel de Vayrac is the the right person to take us on a trippy, hypnotizing and spaced out journey along his long musical experiences. 

Organizing illegal open-air raves and techno parties, Emanuel de Vayrac started producing and DJing ambient/experimental sounds in the mid-nineties. After a few musical stopovers (from punk to glamorous synthpop), he finally found his home in driving but sophisticated techno.
In 2007, the Goethe Institute invited him to play in Los Angeles and San Francisco as Berlin's representative underground DJ. Further international bookings took him to Tokyo, New York, Moscow and Yekaterinburg, among others.
In between, he attended the class of sound artist Michaela Meliàn at the University of Arts and Crafts (HfBK) and worked as a lawyer in film companies. After a residency at the former house club "Chalet", De Vayrac continuously turned to techno hotspots like Griessmühle (today RSO), Sisyphos, Tresor, Suicide Circus or the legendary Fusion Festival.
His „Habitus Berlin“ parties, to which he invited artists such as Hector Oaks, Keith Carnal, Cinthie, Dadub, Arnaud Le Texier, Cashu, Nikita Zabelin, The Transhumans, Deepbass or Joachim Spieth, were a fixture of the Berlin techno scene for several years.
