Truncate x Hyperactive - TRUNCATE28 - Preview

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.

Type III - @type-iii-podcast ::FACE THE MUSIC::

Guidewire is the project of two brothers from the San Francisco Bay Area, now residing in Berlin. Inspired by the local rave scene in the late 90’s, the duo dedicated their focus on electronic music through DJing, producing, and live performance. This soul seeking journey has entailed an organic process of refining gear over time to efficiently express ideas, progressing to the ever evolving style they play today. Politics, Futurism, and Spirituality are at the forefront of their minds as they hold a non compromising attitude to always focus on the art of the music. Guidewire delves into the hard/industrial realm of techno with hopes to inspire others through a juxtaposition of aggressive and meditative sounds. 

Guidewire's foundation lies in deliberate sound design. Every note, beat, and sonic layer is a testament to their commitment to authenticity, as they play almost exclusively their own intricately crafted sounds. While the groundwork is laid in the studio, playing out is when Guidewire manifests as two individuals in sync, crafting and shaping the music together. Drawing from their archive of sounds, they improvise live, offering a unique and spontaneous auditory experience in every set.

The two brothers, with 25 years of musical collaboration, launched Guidewire in 2007 and have been performing live since 2009. Guidewire has played events in Prague, Dallas, Los Angeles, Berlin, Budapest, Geneva, Pilsen, San Francisco, Oakland, and Denver. They have released on labels such as Vexed Sphere, Mechanical Thoughts, Struktur, Switch Off, Shout Limited, Darknet, Dark and Sonorous, and Android Muziq. Since 2014 their podcast, Type III, has served as a gathering point for spreading inspiring mixes from local and international artists.

Never give up. Never compromise. You can't stop techno.
