The Squirrels are back. Their second platter comes courtesy of KIT N C.L.A.W.S. (say it out loud), the cheekily-named collaborative project from Squirrels On Film co-founder Brian Hock and veteran San Francisco producer Kit Clayton, and just like the label s first record, it s a woozy, wobbly trip designed for dancefloors drifting between dimensions. Savvy techno heads will recognize Kit Clayton s name from his decades of experience at the avant-garde of electronic music. In the late 90s, he and partners Tang Tran and Juan Mendez (now better known as Silent Servant) launched Cytrax, a groundbreaking minimal techno label that paved the way for the clicks n cuts sound of the early aughts. His debut album — Nek Sanalet, first released in 1999 on Stefan Betke s seminal label ~scape and reissued in 2015 — remains one of dub techno s most enduring documents. Meanwhile, Brian Hock moonlights as the drummer for deranged Bay Area post-punk outfit Bronze while recording murky electro-techno excursions as C.L.A.W.S.
