Truncate - Dial (Heiko Laux Remix)

Truncate is by now a name associated with underground techno, focusing on the percussive elements of the style while instilling them with uncompromising and unexpected twists and turns that set his sound apart. Remixing his tracks should be a daunting undertaking, one that German producer Heiko Laux tackles with gusto, further enhancing original track Dial with a jacking groove and swinging attitude.

Truncate - Multiply

On Multiply, Truncate crafts searing grooves that make for real pounding techno, which trudges along nicely until, at the least expected, a surprising element comes into play, in the form of playful piano stabs. 

Assailants - Effort 8

Ben Sims and Truncate, two of techno´s most venerated producers, join forces to both create music together as Assailants and to start the Obscurity Is Infinite label to release their output under that name. Needless to say, their first EP Chase Sequences is a jackin´ powerhouse sure to wreak havoc on any dance floor. Effort 8 pairs a killer modulated bassline with distorted beats and a recurring vocal sample, using repetition to pound audiences into submission.

Ray Kajioka - 12 Hours

Reverb and echo take center stage in Berlin-based DJ, producer and live act Ray Kajioka´s 12 Hours E.P., released by MATTER+ Records. Dubby techno full of atmosphere and rising and falling cymbals, backed by a solid beat and subterranean bass. A real treat for those who love this kind of trippy, meditative take on techno. The E.P. includes 2 original tracks and a remix of the title track by Truncate.

Truncate - Another One

A very trippy track from Los Angeles producer Truncate, who keeps the beat raw and tight in his trademark way and moves us along with it. 3 new tracks on red vinyl (TRUNCATE11).
