The Lab LA is BULLDOG and Mixmag's weekly live stream and post-work unwind, where we showcase the finest DJs direct from our LA office. This Friday, October 11, we welcome techno heavyweight Truncate for his Lab debut.
When it comes to hard, groovy, dark techno, Truncate should be one of the first names that you take the plunge with. Through producing music and DJing in the early 90's out of Southern California, David Flores adopted the Audio Injection alias, a moniker he used for well over a decade, releasing via Monoid, Stimulus, 4 Track and Droid Recordings.
In 2011, he adopted the Truncate name, a vehicle for "the deeper, raw side of techno" and since then a slew of critically acclaimed releases have followed. Blueprint, 50 Weapons, Figuer and Mote Evolver, some of the most heralded techno imprints in the world, have all housed EPs from Flores.
In terms of his remixes he's been called up by the likes of Miss Kittin, Jimmy Edgar and Ellen Allien and most recently has turned in dancefloor-stunning edits of Spencer Parker and Loco Dice. As a regular on the techno circuit, you can expect his debut Lab performance to be one for the hardcore. Approach with caution, this one's going to be heavy duty.

My grandmother started dancing to this that’s how you know it’s good

[@JJDDBB1611]

No she didn't

[@TheGoldenGoose303]

My mom started dancing to it!

[@UlrikBaltzerDJ]

I feel for Truncate. This is not the venue for this kind of music. If you just listen to it in the background it's way less cringy, but I feel the Mixmag Lab can't go any harder than house music. On the flipside when Truncate plays this kind of music for the right people in a dark basement the experience changes completely to the better. Respect for showing up and doing your best!

[@4str0m3ch]

I mean, he's getting a better reaction than you see in a lot of Boiler Room sets. People are dancing.

[@Ququestion]

I don't like that you are calling Truncates Music 'hard' and 'dark' Techno. This is TECHNO. The way it is supposed to be. Everything softer than this is barely Techno Music at all.

[@habananu]

tru

[@gmarambioa]

Totally agree

[@lindsaywebb1904]

who cares

[@Nicomanism]

How the flip is Trucnate's music "hard" & "dark? It ain't. Whoever vented that must be on dope.

[@Ququestion]

@@Nicomanism it's written in the description... just MixMagy things..

[@timoniksen9857]

Damn what a monster set, Truncate getting his groove on

[@tonyborie788]

He’s playing actual techno. Not sure if this LA crowd is getting it but I sure am right here in my loft in the woods.

[@ceekay_beats4651]

Me 2

[@Decoy303]

Best Mixmag Lab mix ever. 4 real. This shit bangs. Let me bang!

[@Nicomanism]

LA crowd doesn't deserve this. They're bored. Htown, NYC, Detroit, Chicago would need you Trucnate!

[@analogikkortex]

Just straight forward techno that rings at every sub-genre's door cool set to listen everywhere, being the shower the best place 🤪

[@brianb8985]

TRUNCATE. The best.

[@azabass]

Mixmag cmon more legends like this pls

[@nothinguploaded]

Agreed.

[@buffandsweet33]

it had been way too long since i had heard a mix from one of the original masters of techno truncate!!! aka audio injection xxxxxxxx

[@yamimarik]

Was this the set he said people weren't feeling on his Twitter? I really can't see why as this is a solid set with a great track selection by the man himself. Legend of the game. People need to stop poisoning their ears with this neo-age EDM boring garbage 'techno'.

[@ebanydiaz6947]

We loved his set! It was great. Seen him about 12 times this year in LA.

[@brianmccloskey8575]

You can play a good set and still not be feeling the 'vibe'.

[@DJTineX]

This is one of the best sets

[@mrbass093]

Truncate the man of the hour! 🙏🏼

[@mikasasukasa4479]
