Elena Sizova dj set @OUTSOUNDER/SAMEHEADS 04.03.2023

A dynamic configuration of rhythms plus melodies, overlaid with musings on repetitive neverlands: R.i.O. welcomes KXB, aka Sam Gill and Wes Holland, a duo that, as they put it, “was born and baptised on the balcony at Robert Johnson in 2019, while Wes lived in London and Sam in Melbourne.” “Areas of Uncertainty” is their first musical outcome. It carries a rhythmic show bag, that circumnavigates streamlined track architecture. From Can-ish live drumming submitted by guest rhythmist Graeme Pogson to sequenced synth spheres, the three multilayered groove landscapes of the Australian duo punch severely arcane. Sometimes techno frankness messes with the big bad dub universe. Or Hacienda- Breakbeats cut tellingly through looped vocal waters, sanctified sung in by “Thrush”, one third of the Melbourne based Aussie/Deutsch swamp beat trio Concentration. Additionally, their buddy Richard Fearless added a remix for the premiere, fishing in dark dub zones, bringing in anxious cosmic tones. All recorded in a deeper shade of space somewhere in Melbourne, Berlin, and Fearless’ Metal Box studio in London, while diving into an avalanche of infinitely hyperlinked cadences.

ALLEY VERSION presents the third installment of the series 'Tracks From The Alley', a V.A. 4-tracker compilation, kicking off with  a new track

The Italian duo FLML complete the A side with 'Analog Jerky Thing', a tape recorded jam driven by a hypnotic proto-acid style touching bassline.
Greek cult producer DimDj open the B side with the intricate 'Apo Pou Eisai', a track made of rarefied jack-beats into dub echoes, mutating in acid attacks.

Seminal EBM-techno outfit Code Industry surfaces on Dark Entries with a reissue of their Structure EP. Detroit-based musicians Rob Myers, E.N. Sevy, Kyl Crys, and William Keith formed Code Industry in 1989 following their previous project, Code Assault. Among the few Black artists working in the idioms of EBM and industrial during their time, Code Industry tackle issues of racism, the media, and the hypocrisy of patriotism. The band’s frigid synths and menacingly whispered vocals display their affinity for European EBM acts like Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb, but their adventurous production and high- tech grooves situate their work equally within the Detroit techno continuum. The Structure EP was originally released in 1991 via the legendary Antler-Subway label. On its six tracks, Code Assembly expand upon Method of Assembly, their debut album from the year prior, while presenting striking new work hinting at the development of their sound. On “Behind the Mask (Image Mix)”, the band reworks one of the hits from Method of Assembly into a leaner, more kinetic form, finely sculpted for maximum dancefloor impact. The instrumental “Fury” shows the outfit pushing harder into the then-nascent Detroit techno sound, with spare synths and disembodied vocal snippets. Meanwhile, brooding downtempo cuts like “Ail” and “Crimes Again the People” imbue their cyberpunk aesthetics with politically-charged rage. Code Industry illustrates the depth of techno and EBM’s mutual entanglement while addressing political struggles that still embroil us in 2023. This reissue of Structure includes a double-sided insert with lyrics and liner notes by Pen Jackson aka E.N. Sevy. It will be released on Juneteenth as a celebration of powerful Black American music.

Mass Hysteria w. Dolorosa guest Sean Gates [26.06.2023]

Nihar has been a beloved figure in the Bay Area Music Scene for over a decade. He was a founder & DJ at the now legendary Surface Tension events which helped to solidify cold wave & dark industrial techno as a defining sound in San Francisco club culture. Left Hand Path, the label he started with Chris Zaldua in 2015 have released some of the most interesting & diverse projects to come out of the city, from the likes of Cube, C.L.A.W.S., Nackt, Russell E.L. Butler & Forests. 
Squirrels On Film is delighted & honored to unleash this collection of angular cybergoth soundscapes that showcase Nihar's acuity as an artist. Five-dimensional geometric rhythms & nocturnal panoramas evoking brutalist structures & primeval geology present an alternative reality for industrial techno. This collection has been mastered by San Francisco industrial O.G. Mark Pistal & presented with original art by Squirrel On Film resident artist Bert Bergen.

Sludge-induced gutter techno acid punk fused with a Trash Can NRG releasing 10/27/2023. Pre-order Digital and limited edition cassette release on Bandcamp here:
https://lefthandpathwax.bandcamp.com/album/trash-can

LEFT HAND PATH presents a statement from PHREAKERS:

PHREAKERS: Seeking to form a new band styled project with live instruments and vocals.. but one that also uses a lot of sampling. In a rehearsal studio, we began to track raw punk rock using bass, drumset, guitar, vocals and the SH-01A and PHREAKERS was born. It all started with a Can of Beans…

Many of the tracks were made in an EXCITED state, later we went back and listened to them and thought : wait- did we make this, what was that?? Exercising our most DEMENTED sonic ideas, playing the guitar incorrectly through 12 effect pedals, scraping it with RANDOM SHIT.

Four handed BASSLINES played with a bow, sampling pig calling contests, just the most far out shit we could come up with . Doing everything incorrectly, welcome to the PHREAKERS sound. Waves of CHAOS, beautiful MADNESS...

The concept of the debut tape is to GO INSIDE a trash can because you ARE a trash can. You dirty piece of f*#$%&@$ shit. PHREAKERS also grooves somehow, in a DEMENTED way. We also love you.

On the other side of the tape we made some wide open...  more

Enpty Bones Of 80' Rave

Philipp Otterbach’s psychedelic music never been a sunshine pleasure pill. But yet, the souls of his notes are deeply gentle. With “Everything Else Matters” the Berlin based DJ and producer now introduces his debut album, that follows a long introduction. 
Already since a while he devotes himself with endurance to music. He was an early resident at Düsseldorf’s shrine for outernational grooves Salon Des Amateurs. Since 2014 he releases music under his given name or as Grand Optimist on labels like Grokenberger Records, Knekelhuis or Themes For Great Cities and leaves marks as a remixer for artists like DJ Normal 4, Brainwaltzera, Wolf Müller and Niklas Wandt on labels like Growing Bin Records or Second Circle. His long DJ nights and already released music prefigures the spirits, that he now bunched on his first album. It’s a record, that does not want to pursue a straight categorization. It rather aims to spellbound with an atmosphere, that is made for moments in the absence of hysteria. Tribalistic, trip-hopping rhythms, menacing sounds, cold cool vocal passages, drone chants, morbid goth-ambient spheres, Indie rock indications: its many facets meld into some kind of black highway sound for thoughtful night prowlers in a dissociative state of mind. In context all particles achieve delicate sculptural effects that operate like the surprising architecture of a dream. A forward-thinking dream, that bundles something otherworldly, something unspeakable, that lives hauntingly between the sounds, rhythms and suggested melodies.
