Just Shawn and Chris today. We had every intention of talking music but got sidetracked and spend the first half of the show talking about seafood and 'tinned fish'.

On this Very Special Episode of Base Camp Beta, Chris and Shawn trek down to Sheepshead Bay to visit their friend Salvatore Carlino aka P. Leone at his newly opened pizzeria, Lucia of Avenue X. After having some killer slices, they dive into a deep discussion of the topics that really matter: fermentation techniques, dough hydration, what Pete Wells looks like, and answering the age old question of "what is the culinary equivalent of the 909 hi-hat?". https://www.instagram.com/p.leone_ems/ https://www.instagram.com/lucia.newyork/ https://lucia.pizza/collections/lucia-pizza?sort_by=created-descending

Chris and Shawn hike to Prospect Park, eat jerk chicken, and then have a technical glitch while talking about their now-infallible recording process. They reconvene a few days later to talk about the art of learning.

Live from L&B Spumoni Gardens in Brooklyn, NY. We talk giallo and italo-disco, dough hydration, and Richard H Kirk.

RIP Jasen Loveland We dedicate this episode to our friend Andrew Smith aka Jasen Loveland who recently passed away.

It’s Season 2 of Base Camp Beta and we’re back from a break of what seems like 20 years. We talk about Coronavirus (obviously), its impact on underground music, and (hopefully) the death of the neoliberal order. We then dive into Depeche Mode’s undersung masterpiece “Construction Time Again” and try to imagine the eco-communist future we all deserve. *patreon* *patreon* *patreon* www.patreon.com/basecampbeta *patreon* *patreon* *patreon* Opening music: Beau Wanzer - Basement Dwellers basecampbeta808@gmail.com

Unfortunately the recording of the second panel with Sybil Jason and Ryan Martin got screwed up. The demons of the Zoom recorder strike again. So here is the third and final installment of "Clubland and Its Discontents" - a series of panel discussions exploring the dialectics of dance and non-dance in the New York Underground in collaboration with the Interzone festival. On this panel we talk about the late 70s and early 80s in New York with Veronica Vasicka of Minimal Wave records and Stuart Argabright of Black Rain and Ike Yard. Recorded live at Good Room in Greenpoint. Special thanks to Zara Wladawsky and Richard Gamble. Mastered by David Tatasciore.

A hearty sandwich of an episode, the meat of which is an interview with Palestinian musician and activist Samir Eskanda. We talk about BDS organizing and tactics for musicians and music listeners to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people. We also discuss the BDS movement’s focus on institutions rather than individuals, and how the same cannot be said for the reactionary backlash. The bread of the episode is pretty standard BCB nonsense about cocaine and MIDI. Pure fluff.

Steve Mizek - of Little White Earbuds and Argot Records fame - joins us this week to talk about the heyday of mp3 blogs and the many ways in which the music media landscape has changed since then. We ruminate on the importance of the record label in 2019, worry about mid-2000s blog house returning, and mourn the death of the mix podcast by remembering some of our favorites. *patreon* *patreon* *patreon* www.patreon.com/basecampbeta *patreon* *patreon* *patreon* LWE Podcast 149 Levon Vincent http://www.littlewhiteearbuds.com/podcast/lwe-podcast-149-levon-vincent/#.XUghLZNKhE5 LWE Podcast 29 Black Jazz Consortium http://www.littlewhiteearbuds.com/podcast/lwe-podcast-29-fred-p/#.XUgeypNKhE5 LWE Podcast 5 Tama Sumo http://www.littlewhiteearbuds.com/podcast/lwe-podcast-05-tama-sumo/#.XUghvpNKhE4 LWE Podcast 14 DJ Sprinkles http://www.littlewhiteearbuds.com/podcast/lwe-podcast-14-dj-sprinkles/#.XUghcpNKhE4 Opening music: Beau Wanzer - Basement Dwellers Produced and Edited by Rachelle Rahme Mixed by David Tatasciore basecampbeta808@gmail.com

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.

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. *patreon* *patreon* *patreon* www.patreon.com/basecampbeta *patreon* *patreon* *patreon* Salem at Faderfort https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88zQ_sf6BMg Sandstorm on eight floppy drives https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFmC7hd1hno Hardcore techno logos https://hardcore-techno-logos-blog.tumblr.com/page/2 Trauner Trax Cassegrain - Trappist (The Mover Remix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlRPHFLeH9U Mescalinum United - Into Mekong Center (Mekong Score Mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_d0kBpDyd0 Cypher - Frozen Boom Erection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjJ2QyI4-BQ Suburban Soul - City Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSj725hvhhg Pilldriver - Pitch-Hiker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E53IM0jF-s Rave Creator & The Mover - Atmos-Fear https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=9atKkvkhF_0 Opening music: Beau Wanzer - Basement Dwellers Produced and Edited by Rachelle Rahme Mixed by David Tatasciore basecampbeta808@gmail.com

Never mind your half eaten hot dog, welcome to BCB, episode 13 in which we talk: Weird Science with Ania Waluk and Maroje Tabakovic, future communes, mountains vs. the beach, the frightening skeleton of Ocean City (NJ), TM, NY vs Chicago hot dogs, saxophone as the hot dog of the music world, how Subway changed my life. We also discuss songs from Tenor Saw, Five or Six, Tuxedomoon, and Hauster. Not included is Rachelle’s revelation on her theory of Tuxedomoon’s “59 to 1”, here reproduced in précis for posterity: “59 to 1 by Tuxedomoon is about temporality under capitalism. Not Andy Warhol’s 15 minutes of fame; we actually have a fraction of that: 1 second. And how do we express ourselves under capitalism in one second? With the ‘I.’ What is most unique about us, our individuality, is reproduced in a uniform gesture, a tick on the clock. It is also a political gesture, the vote via ‘say I,’ - ‘I.’ And in this way, it is what turns us against one another as enemies or towards one another as allies.” Including music by: Tenor Saw - Original Pumpkin Belly https://youtu.be/jCLQSJE2-x8 Five or Six - Another Reason https://youtu.be/ZV3eaIRewCY Tuxedomoon - 59 to 1 https://youtu.be/ZTWgq9R1JPA Hauster - Ena https://youtu.be/ipYGL3jFXfQ Opening music: Beau Wanzer - Basement Dwellers Produced and Edited by Rachelle Rahme Mixed by Shawn O’Sullivan basecampbeta808@gmail.com

Base Camp Basic this week with the original zoo crew - no guests - just pure, uncut base camp. We talk about the Boiler Room, Burning Man, and the Grateful Dead.

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.

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.

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.

Base Camp Beta is down a Chris (Miller) but up a Doug (Lee), who visits to tell us the story of An-I. We muse over compositional techniques, the rise and fall of disco edits, music's cross-cultural effects, and the history of trance. Later, we're joined by surprise guest Jon Santos, who tells us a bit about the mid-90's San Francisco rave scene. We also cover a lot of music in this episode! As true Base Camp stalwarts of the outer regions, we talk about everything from minimalist rhythmic noise to cosmic jazz fusion to twee breakcore.

Aerin Ercolea aka @mxsilkman from Cleveland’s In Training collective joins Shawn, Chris, Katie, Chris, and Rachelle for a wide-ranging episode covering the Red Brigades, queer raving, capitalist reproduction, and Darude’s 9/11 memorial events. We start at Italian operaismo and leftist theory and end up drinking natural wine and eating fancy cheese like the petit bourgeois we truly are. We also talk Iesope Drift and their influential run of hard, bizarre minimalist techno tracks. This episode is brought to you by our very awesome patrons who are helping to make this show possible.

Friend of the show Nick Klein joins us for some real pessimist hours - we’re bumming each other out about everything from careerism to higher education to the idea of recorded music in a cool 60 minutes. Nick also shares with us three tracks that mean a lot to him - Robert Hood minimalism, weird 80’s japanese industrial-funk, and classic Chicago house. Check Nick's soundcloud @nick-klein and his upcoming release with Wilted Woman on Alien Jams https://alienjams.bandcamp.com/album/caf-kotti This episode is brought to you by a couple nice bottles of natural wine that Nick brought, a grandma pie, and our very awesome patrons who are helping to make this show possible.
