trickpony - Pillow Talk
STEP11

Vinyl Preorder: https://t.ly/_JdmN

Step Ball Chain’s unconventional prototype band trickpony is the 11th release on the ever evolving imprint. An assortment of sensual cyber jams collaged together by the trio over timezones, birthed in Perth, Australia by Mike Midnight and Roza Terenzi; old friends joined by Helsinki’s visionary songstress Maria Korkeila. A trinity of alchemy blossomed into an audio rendition of exquisite corpse, layers of each entity glistening through amongst a united cosmos; trip hop atmospherics and downtempo drippings. 

The five track EP reveals a metamorphosis of nostalgia, a foot in the ever present and daydreams of future. A subconscious deep dive into lustful pop, guided by spine tingling vocal fantasies; textural hallucination, harmonic odes to the golden era underground and a flirtation with drum and bass, tribal percussive freakouts and dream tinged lyrics of desire. 

Pillow talk is a timeless exhibit of esoteric treasures, a portal to a private world of modern enchantment that reveals itself in new ways each listen, music for lovers created by a supergroup of innovators to be digested, shared and cherished.

Venera - Tear
Label: PAN
Cat.No.: PAN 153S1
Release Date: 10 July 2025
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/Tear

Venera shares ‘Tear’, the first single of the upcoming album ‘Exinfinite’ out via PAN on September 12th, 2025.

Having defined a multi-dimensional sonic universe on their acclaimed eponymous debut album, composer/filmmaker Chris Hunt and Korn’s James “Munky” Shaffer abandon the familiar and drift towards a kingdom of recursion on EXINFINITE, staring down a tangled mass of mirrored wormholes that hum with eldritch ambiguity.

On ‘Tear’, the duo’s new direction can be heard clearly as Shaffer’s primal guitar noises are reformed into eerie widescreen expositions that Hunt punctuates with pneumatic kick and snare cycles. Broken up by airlock hisses and luminous synths, the track proposes a backdrop that VENERA continuously transmute, reforging the concept as the album develops.

Recorded in Downtown Los Angeles, CA and Atlanta, GA
Mixed by Chris Pawlusek in London, UK
Mastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis, London, UK
Art by EFFIXX with Samanta García

Premiere: Alex Reece 'Pulp Fiction' (Benny L Remix)

‣ Available here: bfan.link/30years-part2

Next up in the 30 Years of Metalheadz lathe cut series - two iconic tracks perfectly complimented by each other. 
 
First up is 'The Alpha Kemistry' - seeing the light of day for the very first time. Originally created by Goldie as a loop for Diane Charlemagne to sing over, this piece has sat quietly in the archives, untouched and unheard. It's a crucial fragment of our history and a key moment in Goldie's journey, now finally available in full form.
 
On the flip, we're bringing you a long-requested heavyweight: Benny L's 2018 remix of Alex Reece's legendary 'Pulp Fiction'. The original changed the game back in 1995, stripping things back and introducing a groove that would become foundational in drum & bass. Benny's remix takes that DNA and amplifies it for today's sound systems - a staple in Goldie's sets and a fitting tribute to one of the genre's most influential tracks.
