UK producer Operator lands on Truncate with a heavyweight EP. With past drops on labels like Ilian Tape, MORD, and Symbolism, he brings a stripped-back, raw, and jacking sound touched with some Detroit grit.

Our latest Belucast features Enkō, a Lisbon-based artist whose sets are all about depth, groove, and precision. With a background in sound design and years of experience behind the decks, Enkō draws from a wide palette—bridging hypnotic repetition with finely crafted textures.

As the mind behind SUMMA and a resident at Basilar Festival, he plays a key role in shaping the pulse of Portugal’s techno underground. His work extends beyond the booth, with releases on labels like HAYES, AWRY, BCCO, and SUBOSC, as well as an active role in event curation and editorial work for some of the country’s leading festivals.

His mix for Belucast is a patient burner—layered, detailed, and deeply physical. Now streaming on SoundCloud.

Franco Rossi - Syncast [SYN217]

I’ve always loved imperfections. They make me feel more connected to whatever it is. Could be a faded polaroid with dust on it, a single cloud in an otherwise clear sky, or a clap that sounds different each time it plays. There’s something about the unpredictability, the raw edges, that makes things feel more real. Especially in music, that’s what draws me in. So when Upperberry reached out, it felt like the right moment to gather tracks that carry that same imperfect energy and to explore my own path through sound, drifting from dub into house. Hope you enjoy!

Enter the Void

Asymmetric boss Inigo Kennedy returns to his label with an eloquent five track EP 'Utopian Fields'.

'Isolated States' grinds the EP into gear in an upbeat way with yearnful drones and sprinkles of sonic dust and percussive punctuation before 'Reaching' introduces washes of evolving spacious sound over a steady heartbeat kick. 'Bygones' is up third and pulses with electricity and conjures something of a futuristic landscape of its own ahead of title track 'Utopian Fields' which stirs together its sounds of hope and unease. Closing the EP is 'Absence', spacious but melancholy with a persistent undercurrent lurking beneath.

Utopian Fields

Inigo Kennedy ASYD-24 Utopian Fields (Preview Clips)

Release date (vinyl & digital): 12th of September 2025

TRACKLIST:
A1: Flashback
A2: W9Y
B1: Ascender
B2: Break Nation

INFO:

Unmistakable are the sonic experiments of Spanish alchemist ORBE; with this fresh release on Token. ORBE’s iconically viscous textures and impactful percussion weasel their way into ‘Ascender’ for a deeper release on Kr!z’s label. Thick, brooding atmospheres drive these tracks into stories of pursuit and escape throughout its four tracks.  

A slick, pulsating low end in ‘Flashback’ stands out as a first impression for an imposing EP. Electric leads zip by for maximum psychosis; he’s known for his uncompromising dissonance and drive. A staple of the Spanish scene, ORBE bites down hard on deep and hypnotic techno to resonate through concrete warehouses. This jagged edge to club music continues through ‘W9Y’ - a more drum-forward cut with noisy transitions and breathable synthwork. Sharper stabs occupy this space as opposed to the track’s predecessor and tension is maintained with a lingering pad in the background. A meditative conclusion for the A side, ORBE quickly shifts his attention in the titletrack ‘Ascender’. Emphasizing tone and tune on the kick, the lead comes with confrontation. Rolling through shifting hats, the producer brings boiling tension through minimal arrangement and the weight of his sound design - a skillset only the most seasoned artists can claim. To close things out, ‘Break Nation’ does just that - cutting off the traditional four/four rhythm and instead presenting itself as a bass stepper. With ORBE’s classic unison packed synths, this dweller presents a whole other perspective on ‘Ascender’. A hybrid of influences and yet still destined for the techno dancefloor, this breath of fresh air serves as deep dive into the subconscious for an eyes-closed experience.

Patient - in.di.go x Vault Sessions May 2025

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.
