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.

If you've heard his debut record on Mind Records, the much unjustly overlooked 'Concupiscence', you'll sure be happy to hear California-based producer @elonkatz is making a comeback this year with his anticipated debut full-length as E L O N on San Francisco's @lefthandpathwax.

E L O N - Inside the Private City [Left Hand Path]

This week’s Base Camp Beta, our ninth episode, features Moroccan-born, New York-based special guest Selwa Abd, better known by her musical alias Bergsonist, with bonus appearance by Greg Zifcak aka Wav Dwgs and part of Eats Tapes.

We talk the vagaries of sharing and discovering music in the digital era, playing live shows with very little to no prior experience, going out on a Tuesday night to see your friends spin Krautrock records to a crowd of four (yourself included) at bars with names like “Daddy’s,” the encroaching tide of professionalism in underground electronic music, the dearth of actual physical community/social spaces for musicians and music fans, and Pick Up The Flow, a NYC-based attempt to remedy that lack of community, founded by Selwa herself.

Music-wise, we talk a classic Wax Trax cut by Dwayne and cEvin from Skinny Puppy with Bill Leeb on vox; Model 500's “Pick Up The Flow,” the inspiration for the previously mentioned DIY sharing community; and contemporary trap and hip-hop from Morocco. Oh, and we talk about Gong. Yeah, Gong. Way to kill the vibe, Shawn.

BCB009 — The Silence Of The Juuls feat Selwa Abd

It’s guys night on the podcast, so friend of the show Anthony Parasole stops by to talk guy shit: John Carpenter, Thom Yorke’s moany-ass voice, virtual clubbing, and why you may as well toss a suitcase full of cash out of a helicopter instead of press a record. We talk a lot of music, too - focusing on Synewave classics, Damon Wild, Tommy Musto, Dennis Ferrer, Success-N-Effect, and The The. And we take some calls from our loyal listeners who have a lot to say about James Dolan.

BCB010 - With Long Time Listener, First Time Caller Anthony Parasole

I made this track a few years ago at our house/venue Bay Area 51 in San Francisco, where my studio bordered our backyard and the best thing in the world was to jam some uplifting but slighty melancholy tracks and soak in some afternoon sun.  This track is a direct product of those times, so i decided share it outside of an official release and perhaps it will find a place in your summertime.  Hope you enjoy >

C.l.a.w.s.- Don't Flip the Crystal Ship

Tajh Morris aka Turtle Bugg moved to Detroit last year and misses five things about New York - on this week’s episode, we investigate those five things while snacking and drinking (as usual) and recording our first offsite episode at Base Camp Uptown (Chris’ apartment). We get progressively drunk and stoned and start to ramble about Heaven 17, politics in pop music, and learning.

We also talk about the two kings of early 80s funk: Morris Day and Donald Fagen.

BCB011 - Mumbo Sauce With Tajh Morris

A spectre is haunting music - the undying spectre of witch house. Sybil Jason aka Farced joins us for this week’s Base Camp Beta where we for some reason talk about witch house and how it never really went away. We also talk about DIY culture and the lengths one used to have to go to before the internet (say, having to go trackdown bootleg CDs in Jersey City) as opposed to a cultural cosplay now facilitated by the internet. We also talk about our favorite Marc Trauner/Arcadipane tracks (Chris forgot to pick one - it would have been Pitch-Hiker or Atmos-Fear, both of which Shawn brings up anyway). Take your brain pills for this one - it’s an episode where only the strong willed survive - only Sybil and Chris made it to the end.

BCB014 - Witch House Never Dies feat Sybil Jason

We’re joined this week by Nihar Bhatt - producer, DJ, party thrower, and label partner of CZ. We talk about San Francisco, the “canary in the coalmine of capitalism”, and reminisce about the constantly changing (read: getting evicted) party scene in the Bay Area. We try to tackle the issues of scarcity in the music scene and try to imagine a future where everyone can throw the cybergoth party that they want to.

We talk about lots of great music, and then we talk about Mike Rutherford’s yacht-funk banger “Couldn’t Get Arrested” - the musical equivalent of 1973’s Burt Reynolds classic White Lightning. Note: this is the Baldelli mix that broke Shawn’s brain, then ours, now hopefully yours https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU6yg5SFV_g

BCB015 - Couldn’t Get Evicted With Nihar Bhatt

this edition of The Bunker Podcast comes from San Francisco's DJ CZ (@c_z-1), aka Chris Zaldua. There he puts on @surfacetension-sf events and runs the @lefthandpathwax imprint with @niharb, who also turned in an edition of The Bunker Podcast earlier this year.

artist statement:
"This mix was crafted on two XDJ-1000s and an Allen & Heath mixer in one take. It's sort of a snapshot of where I'm at as a DJ these days, and contains a lot of music I'd play in the club and some I wouldn't. It's not techno, but it's not not-techno. It's not drum'n'bass, but it's not not-drum'n'bass, either. What really interests me is music that's slippery and difficult to define and exists in multiple spaces at once, and that's pretty much what I consider all of these tunes to be. Perhaps the best way to summarize it is in the immortal words of Uwe Schmidt aka Atom™ aka Fonosandwich:

They call it donut
But it doesn't have a hole."
