TRUNCATE8 - Message

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.

Dutch DJ/producer Lobster is another example of Amsterdam’s visionary and fertile underground scene. Emerging from the notorious rave community through his former residency at Orphic Amsterdam, where he perfected the craft of playing dancefloor and storyline inspired techno, this current Vault Sessions resident knows how to scan and adapt to any crowd. With a musical library spanning multiple sub-genres, tempos, and decades, Lobster always has the fitting track ready to be played out, scouting the dancefloor for the perfect moment. 

Uncompromising in his vision, Lobster has carved out his own unique space, steadfastly pushing his signature tripped-out high energy sound without succumbing to fleeting trends. Yet, despite his persistence, he remains ever-curious, constantly seeking fresh inspiration to fuel his creative fire. Combined with his unconditional passion for electronic music, it is certain Lobster is and will continue to be a dominant force in today’s techno scene.

His commitment to consistency and keen sense of the crowd have led him to play sets for hungry audiences in venues all across the globe, like Bassiani, Awakenings, Vault Sessions, Freedom Medellin, Ratherlost, Basement New York, RSO, BRET, Laster Madrid and many more. 

As the years passed, his journey took a turn towards the studio, where the focus shifted from just playing music to creating it. Rejecting the notion of rigidly defining what a track should be before it’s made, Lobster embraces a more organic approach. For this artist, creativity isn't about control; it's about flow. This approach has allowed him to produce tracks that resonate with authenticity and his raw emotion.
