Releasenotes:
Celebrating ten years of his vital Truncate imprint, David Flores aka Truncate
recruits techno royalty James Ruskin and Luke Slater for a set of hard-hitting
remixes alongside two of his own originals for the 22nd release on the label.
"To celebrate this milestone it felt fitting to ask for remixes from none other
than techno legends Luke Slater aka Planetary Assault Systems and James Ruskin
to make this release extra special" - Truncate
Operating under his Planetary Assault Systems alias, Slater turns in three
remixes of 'First Phase' across the EP, with each interpretation distilling his
decades of experience into equally functional and engaging techno jams.
Truncate's original mix of 'First Phase' blends shuffling percussion,
oscillating low-end, and tweaked out synthesis for a pumping, no-nonsense cut.
'The Eve' sees the Californian DJ/producer bring trippy leads, crunching claps,
and tricky FX processing together for a mind-bending jam. Taking no prisoners,
James Ruskin's remix is a no holds barred peak time track, marrying detailed
stereo wizardry and rumbling bass with evolving modulations throughout.
Primarily an outlet for his own productions, Flores' Truncate has become a
touchstone for quality, groove-based techno over the past ten years. While
winning an army of techno fans, the label has also won plaudits from house DJs
for its more jacking and groovy releases. Running parallel to the label's
success, Truncate has also become one of the most bankable techno DJ/producers
around, appearing on a broad range of well-regarded labels as well as regularly
playing techno institutions like Movement Festival, Awakenings, fabric, Berghain
and many more.
