Sounds Like
Filthy, Dirty, Lo-Fi Electro Nonsense.
The sound of a swan being clubbed to death with an analogue synth.
Glasgow based producer, with a penchant for filth. one of the few people in the current scene opting for purely hardware based synthesis for a rawer, dirtier sound. Laptops are for paffs.
Has played alongside the likes of Alex Smoke, DMX Krew, Si Begg and System7 at venues including the Arches, King Tut's, The Reading Rooms and the Soundhaus
"Raw, laptop-free, techno wizardry" + "glitchy electronica with a primal feel" - The Metro
"up-and-coming artist, hungry enough to want the crowd, yet professional enough to know what they want." - The Skinny

I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.
"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny
"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman
