Left Hand Path is proud to present its fourth release — ICE PICK, a beautifully aggressive four track techno EP from Bay Area troublemaker MICHAEL CLAUS. Following acclaimed releases on Jacktone and 100% Silk and his unforgettable remix on our last record by Nackt, ICE PICK plays with (and against) modern movements in underground techno to satisfying effect.  

While Michael's previous releases featured a gorgeous dub-infused atmosphere, ICE PICK steps towards a more militant sound. Its eponymous title track is described perfectly by its name — a lethal rhythmically compelling club track primed for the peak of a late-night DJ set. FOR EACH has the listener ascending an endless staircase of arpeggios, chased by raw electro beats. HEXES is introspective, reinforcing Michael's talent for writing sublime melodic hooks. The record's closer ACID 46 is a bonafide dance-floor stomper built around an undulating, coruscating acid riff, giving it a kaleidoscopic Bay Area twist. 

ICE PICK will be released as a ltd.300 black vinyl record (with full color artwork sleeve by Mariah Tiffany) and a digital download via Left Hand Path's Bandcamp on May 4, 2018.

Eliott Forin returns with a brilliant new 3 tracker under his Foreign Sequence alias. On ‘Repeat Pattern’, @tonoforeign continues to develop his already masterful craft in deep Electro and techno tinged sounds. This EP is the third from the new label @Gestaltlabel - A collective looking to push deep, undiscovered music.

The first two tracks sit firmly in the category of deep: pensive, emotive and intricately detailed. On the other hand, the final track (the track I chose to premiere), Trùùm((33rd), is aimed squarely at the dance floor. Sinister sirens swirl around a robotic, machine-like bassline. Ice cold drums keep the track, and the listener, moving. Somber pads nestle in the background and provide the emotion that is always present in Forin’s music. This is a dance floor weapon with real heart! You can pre-order this digital album now via Bandcamp but will release officially on July 20th.

Brooklyn-based, Yugoslavian-born Maroje T is back as Remora with a new release on Kraftjerkz. His latest Remora release is a cohesive, synth-driven exploration, drawing influence from 80’s New Wave, Belgian New Beat, synth-pop, Italo disco and electro. Its aim is not to emulate; its nostalgia is grown-up and contemporary, filled with arpeggiated synths and metallic punctuation. There’s a play between light and dark here; the opening tracks take us on an easy, synth-pop voyage, as if through a neon dawn. Half-way through the EP, the mood shifts towards dystopic visions, with tracks like “Bitter Night” and “Green Sea” bringing to mind videogame-boss nostalgia and darker electro sentiments. The EP closes with the final, visceral “You Travel by Plane Often,” meant to be experienced with the body. The EP is primed to become a classic; it goes down easy but stays with you for a while, before wanting to be ingested again and again.

Delsin are pleased to gather together some of the highlights from the rich and varied catalogue of Manchester-based producer Claro Intelecto. From his earliest works on Ai Records through a prolific run on Modern Love to his more recent outings on Delsin, Mark Stewart has continually presented a vision of electronic music that uses the Detroit blueprint as a launch pad for his own distinctive strain of techno.

Claro Intelecto’s exploration of techno embodies everything the genre stands for. His rich catalogue of releases displays an affinity for the blueprint laid down by the Detroit forefathers, which he’s used as a launch pad for his own singular voice. It’s classic in style and yet totally unique, moving ably through austere club tracks, expressive eruptions of machine soul and crooked downtempo cuts all disseminated under a low-lying fog of melancholia.
As his relationship with Delsin continues to blossom, now feels like an appropriate time to take stock of his considerable contribution to modern techno. His first release, 2003’s Peace Of Mind EP, has become something of an “Albatross” for the Manchester-based artist, but not without good reason. The shimmering beauty of the lead track, “Peace Of Mind (Electrosoul)” remains a compelling entry point into his sound world, but it’s hardly a primer for the range of his sound.
The earliest Claro releases came on cult electronica label Ai Records, before he settled on noted Manchester imprint Modern Love. Much like Delsin, these labels reflected his own sound ethic – passionately stirred up by the vitally important groundwork of the techno pioneers but wholly disinterested in throwback material. Through stunning albums like Neurofibro and Metanarrative and more recently Reform Club and Exhilarator, the 12” series Warehouse Sessions and plenty of other EPs in between, the Claro sound journeyed from yearning prettiness to murky abstraction while retaining a firm rhythmic focus.
In Vitro provides a detailed overview of this musical path. The orchestrated elegance of “It’s Getting Late” and “Reformed” sits next to the low-slung, rainy-day blues of “You Not Me” and “Second Blood”. The gauzy clouds hanging over “Chadderton” and “Patience” contrast with the rabid snarl of malevolent electro on “Two Thousand”, “Episode” and “Tone”. Even in the compilation’s most delicate moments, “Beautiful Death” and “Still Here”, the strongest takeaway is that these uniquely crafted pieces are never acute genre studies. The most ambient lulls still sport a muted techno pulse, and when the intensity reaches a fierce peak, you can still detect shimmering, emotional flourishes. It’s exactly why Claro Intelecto’s work is so compelling, so deserving of reappraisal.
