Rich Jones, aka Operator, is a Techno artist from the south coast of the UK, his garden studio nestled between the Ocean and the South Downs. Rich is known for his characterful, funky, heavily percussion focused sound - everything from house tinged techy funkers, all the way up to tough percussive bangers, via deep melodic excursions and trippy head spinners. Primal, some could say 'tribal', grooves, always lurk in his productions. Carrying an eye for detail in the unfolding of the sequence, and with an expectation of focus and patience on the part of the listener, Rich, using mainly hardware, crafts each track as a unique, subtly detailed journey, whilst always retaining an unmistakable signature sound - an ever present energy, texture, warmth and groove. These are tracks designed to excite, emote and ultimately to get you into flow state (and get your hips moving to boot).  

Releases on: MORD; Ilian Tape; Symbolism; Mindtrip; CLR; Singular; Blue Hour; Audio Assault; Soma and more...

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.
