Reade Truth’s 2009 release for Planet E, “Crimen Excepta EP,” reveals the New York native’s latest wonder-beast classic, churned, chiseled, and set free from the Vienna-based studio; a fantastic hybrid of bottomless grooves, maniacal rhythms, and moody Detroit-esque vibes from and for the underground. With influences from Skinny Puppy to Derrick May, Reade Truth has been rocking the decks since 1990, showcasing in his music an inherent lust for the dark and unknown, the unimaginable imagined; as a producer he has made his mark on many EPs for cutting edge labels like Direct Drive, Strictly Rhythm, Sonic Groove, Instinct, Pomelo and Path Records. Reade Truth is best identified as a veteran DJ of the NY and Brooklyn scenes whose heavy dance floor visions have consistently provided an important source of edgy, often experimental electronics–always delivered with inimitable style. When you hear Reade Truth, you know it can be no other.
