Spray retires the eponymously, to instead seek Punctuality; a new label for ‘dastard club elegies in the dark’ hosted by the maestro himself. Blu:sh clocks in to provide the imprint’s inaugural extended player with U is for U and me, a pentagonal suite of nocturnal seductions for ‘U’, our dear listener, from ‘he’, its rosy-cheeked conductor.

B is for Blu:sh (sometimes Benoit B and Terra Utopia), a froward node in the artist’s trilateral soul whose previous charm offensives for Roza Terenzi’s Step Ball Chain and Rey Colino’s Kalahari Oyster Cult under the alias signalled the arrival of a new challenger to the ‘hits parade’. U is for U and me provides distinct variations on the theme of ‘club allure’, five tracks of sparkling body music that captivate in its relentless drive for kinetic salvation.

“A quick glance at the watch, and they’re off!”
AM PM strikes first more night than day, its throbbing bass line locks shoulders with precision rhythms within its psychedelic landscape. Whirlwind Mindsets is sassier, opting for more bump while the track’s aural mesh is grazed by sharp textures of live wires and melodious bleeps.  

“… and they get back under way!”
Magnetized Your Soul soundtracks the self-actualisation of sonic sophistication, applying the rave pressure with a current of discordant pads and haunted vocals bound by twisted attraction. Pixelated Pleasure Dome is pure sleaze, a wiggle-fested romp of leering subs and thunderous groove of pure self-indulgence. High In Cloud City offers the finale of heads-down speedy exuberance with faint breaks and non-stomp pump right up until curtain call.

Remixes by Earth Trax, Maara, Roza Terenzi, & Alex Kassian! 

Pleasure Planet is back in orbit, summoning their favorite producers to reimagine the two lead singles from their self-titled debut album.

Earth Trax transforms Go With Madness into a euphoric peak time corker. Full of smiles and surprises, it’s a pure endorphin rush, and masterclass in making an irresistible dance track.

Maara goes with madness, cranking up the bpm, and conjuring a version that is deep into prog territory. A propulsive proto trance journey through winds and dungeon echoes.

On her version of Alien, Roza Terenzi casts a hypnotic spell of ghostly melodies and vocal hooks. Her deeper interpretation takes listeners on a breakbeat mission through sizzling electronics and emotive sub bass.

Alex Kassian’s Sphinx Gate Mix of Alien closes it out by slowing things down and transporting Alien into nostalgic territory with melodic arps and peak Haceinda-era breaks and bass. If you listen to his emotional remix carefully enough, you may hear a vocal response from Kim Ann’s partner Cora in its final fleeting moments. 

Go With Madness (Maara Remix)

Après The Tools, le producteur Parisien, Germain CLS dévoile ZEIT, un EP qui condense une année de création en un voyage sonore percutant. Entre synthés pop, basses progressive house et rythmiques rave 90s, il façonne une œuvre immersive où le temps devient moteur d’inspiration.

L’EP s’ouvre avec "Zeit", un morceau où erreurs et fragments s’assemblent en une construction hypnotique et introspective. Suit "BB7", minimaliste et spontané, né d’un heureux accident en studio, capturant la beauté de l’imprévu.

Avec "Another Cab", la tension monte, laissant exploser une rage politique sur le dancefloor. "Ciccio" clôture sur une note engagée, détournant un sample d’Ilona Staller pour transformer la voix féminine en un message d’affirmation.

Pour parfaire l’expérience, Bliss Inc revisite Zeit avec sa touche envoûtante, tandis que Gneiss insuffle à Ciccio une relecture incisive et taillée pour le club.

Following on from The Tools, Parisian producer Germain CLS unveils ZEIT, an EP that condenses a year's worth of creative work into a powerful sonic journey. Between pop synths, progressive house bass and 90s rave rhythms, he fashions an immersive work in which time becomes the driving force of inspiration.

The EP opens with ‘Zeit’, a track where errors and fragments come together in a hypnotic, introspective construction. This is followed by ‘BB7’, a minimalist, spontaneous track born of a happy studio accident, capturing the beauty of the unexpected.

With ‘Another Cab’, the tension mounts, letting political rage explode on the dancefloor. ‘Ciccio’ closes on a committed note, hijacking an Ilona Staller sample to transform the female voice into a message of affirmation.

To complete the experience, Bliss Inc revisits Zeit with its bewitching touch, while Gneiss gives Ciccio an incisive, club-ready re-reading.

Germain CLS - Zeit  [SNIPPETS]

The B is back! Roza Terenzi puts the B in SBC; bounce, bass and.. Boss. Returning with a four track all original EP “Ministry of Wish” the label head is calling on corners of her ever expanding distinctive sound with a sliding scale (etherial to filth) sound bath. 

Something for every occasion, whether you’re looking to get down and dirty, leave the dancefloor in dust or stargaze via subbass, we got you covered. Recorded between Berlin and Perth, the tracks all signify moments in time that feels like it’s going too fast, an archival stamp on the year 2024; sometimes after a party that lingers with mythical adrenaline, sometimes a personal moment to express reflection.

With the only predictability being Roza’s penchant for Genre Bending, STEP14 sets the tone for the freaky, fabulous year to come of Step Ball Chain in 2025.

This track is something truly special for me; it’s a fusion of two worlds I love. On one side, there's the raw, powerful energy of a techno kick drum that makes you move non-stop. On the other, I wanted to give space to melodies that can truly touch your soul.
Memento Amoris is an track for those who don't just want to dance but also want to feel and connect.
