Name: Project One by STEP Recordings
Duration: 6 min 23 s
Description: Catz ’n Dogz’s Step Recordings imprint opens 2024 with a powerful trio of zipping, energetic cuts from Sydney’s James Pepper. Landing hot on the heels of releases via Gallery Records and Haŵs, the trio of productions across the package see the Australian merge swirling lead synths, squelchy basslines, slinking percussion arrangements and cosmic tones to deliver a set of warping journeys.

Sunshine Temptation. The sunny temptation consists of a 100% natural orange juice, which is available at the release party. The track is an ode to the progressive house era of the 1990s, shining in a modern context.  

Snippets from commercials, rippling water and birdsong form the bed of the song, while a tight four on the floor beat with iconic 909 drums and a bouncy bassline set the pace. Breakbeats, bongos and recorded leads, straight from a 1984 Casio synth, take you back to the age when the internet made dial-up noises before you could visit colorful websites via Netscape. 

“Sunshine Temptation” can be heard worldwide on December 09, 2022.

Sex tapes from Mars’ third release comes in the form of 4 joyous hits of euphoria courtesy of Australian party-starter, Aldonna.

Angel Numbers excitedly bounces and bounds through its tracklist and the numerous blissed-out grooves within it. The EP kicks off with the psychedelic, poem-sampling ‘Divine Time’ before switching to the driving rhythms and glistening synths of ‘Ikigai’ (featuring Sam Alfred).

On the B-side, Aldonna dedicates the airy keys and phasing delays of ‘Ella’ to a friend who encouraged her to keep on dreaming. Finally, Cromby takes ‘Divine Time’ and reduces it down to its raw elements for clubland functionality whilst still retaining the threads of the originals buoyant tonality.

A love letter to her friends and her self, this is progressive house music at its most hopeful.

Spell PETS backwards to get STEP. 

Spell STEP forwards and you get PETS going back to basics. STEP is the label from the founders of PETS – Catz 'n Dogz – with a focus on the rawest forms and root functions of dance music. 

STEP searches for the fundamentals with under-the-radar house, techno, electronic and indie that’s not afraid to be rough around the edges. It’s all about the music.
