From his involvement in the Surface Tension crew to his well-earned status as a selector from left-of-field, Chris Zaldua has been an integral part of the Bay Area underground for as long as we've been around.  With his brand new label project Left Hand Path (alongside Nihar Bhatt) having already seen a feature in The Wire, exciting and unpredictable things are surely on the horizon. In true form, Chris showcases a hefty dose of production from Bay, alongside some of the year's best releases. Enjoy!
