trickpony - Pillow Talk
STEP11

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.

Pain Management presents the debut release of London based percussionist Pike.

Having provided rhythms from the shadows for a number of reputable labels and live outfits - 12th Isle, Scenic Route, Slow Dance - Fallen Angel sees the artist unveil a musical fluency and soloist instinct with his first independent effort under his own name. Flexing a previously unseen multi-instrumentalism on two emotive post-rock offerings.

An active participant in London’s underground music circuit, Pike’s performances play with textural, rhythmic and improvisational possibilities. He has developed a unique rhythmic fingerprint indebted as much to UK bass music as to rock, dub and avant-garde electronics. The steady evolution of his practice, alongside extensive behind the scenes collaboration with a wide roster of UK-alt artists - Charlie Osborne, Covco, The Fertile Crescent, Tiberius B - has laid the groundwork for this year’s striking introduction to a new era of the project.

His official debut release on Pain Management falls somewhere at the intersection of dub electronics and art-rock; a dynamic exploration of live instrumentation’s cathartic potential.

On the expansive opener Fallen Angel, a tangle of emotive guitar and basslines float above steady, hypnotic drums. In contrast with the record’s plosive closer, Fallen Angel shimmers with a central ephemerality. Threads of euphoria woven into the shadows of something less sweet. The sensation is one of temporality; a distant memory just out of reach. The presence of this melodic softness shrouding over the rougher elements instills an intimacy to the piece. A late night hymn of introspection; one for the wanderers.

The B-side’s Concrete Dub mirrors this format, putting some serious muscle into things. In keeping with the title, Pike masterfully deploys a hazy, dubbed out groove brimming with swung-drum attitude and bassline thickness. From the mycelium grunge bursts a raw, heartfelt guitar line, distorted power-riffs soaring upwards higher and higher. The result is an emotive and vulnerable sensation of uninhibited feeling - a serious pain management power ballad.

Out Feb 17th on all platforms.
Digital files available via Bandcamp.

Pike - Concrete Dub [PM003]

A mix beamed in from the future by singeli's young star.

If singeli has a new era, DJ Travella is its leading light. At just 23 years old, the Tanzanian producer is pushing the genre into fast, frenetic and unmistakably futuristic territory. And while there aren't too many entries in the RA Podcast's 20-year history where you can say, "this has no parallel whatsoever," RA.984 shatters that assumption in style.

Singeli emerged from Dar es Salaam's underground in the early '00s, forged from limited resources and unlimited creativity. Producers looped and sped up taarab instrumentals using basic software like Virtual DJ, creating a sound that was chaotic, witty and lightning fast. With support from local studios like Sisso and Pamoja, singeli took root as the breakneck pulse of Tanzanian youth culture.

Travella—real name Hamadi Hassani—came up outside that infrastructure. He began producing music aged ten, self-taught and internet-savvy. By 2022, he was touring Europe with Kampala-based collective Nyege Nyege and gaining global attention for a distinct style he's dubbed "cyber-singeli." 

Like gabber, hardcore and jungle before it, singeli is unapologetically go hard or go home. It's unique and utterly infectious. After all, what could possibly connect pop provocateur Arca to the late president of Tanzania? Not much—except singeli. 

Travella's RA Podcast is a white-knuckle ride through this blistering sonic universe. It's wild and joyful yet controlled—a window into one of the most exciting young minds in global club music.
