Reade Truth

Reade Truth, born Reade White, operates from New York where he began releasing music in 1994 on Brooklyn's acid label Direct Drive. One of New York's early techno pioneers, he has maintained aliases including Fate 258 and Fiction Life throughout his career spanning over three decades. His discography includes releases on Planet E, Strictly Rhythm, Sonic Groove, Instinct, Pomelo, Wurst, N-Syde, and Path Records, with his most recent activity focused on Sonic Groove where he released five tracks between 2010 and 2025.

His sound encompasses peak time driving techno, raw deep hypnotic techno, tech house, classic Detroit electro, and house music. The Sonic Groove releases demonstrate his range from driving techno designed for peak hours to deeper, more hypnotic arrangements that work across different points in a DJ set. His electro work draws from classic Detroit influences while his techno productions lean toward both the raw underground aesthetic and the more driving, club-focused approach that defines contemporary New York techno.
