Step Ball Chain recruits the French maestro Batenko for a club cut EP, a kiss from the underground laden with tweaked tools exhibiting an already imitable signature sound.

Gamma-Ray Bursts delivers delicious locked grooves for late night deviants; obscure vocal fragments fidget over driving basslines, momentary euphoria and a feverish pulsation that is core to the label. 
Dance addicts around the globe may be familiar with this record, your favorite deejays sneaking various tracks into earshot.. Now it’s time for the full unleash!

Stomping into the SBC universe comes 131bpm; a Berlin house™-hold head with his distinct signature style of sass’d up sexy dance floor burners. The 5 track collection “Ethereal Yarn” weaves in jacking house, bounce bass and flirty tech with a bonus remix from PSL; hot, heavy and ready for your play. Expect the unexpected as conventionality is unraveled through freaky vocal cuts, buckwild percussion and genre mashups for the gods. How long is a piece of string? Lick my chain if you’re nasty!

131bpm - Ethereal Yarn (STEP13)

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)

Words from the label @pureblast: 

First release under our new name Pureblast, we are thrilled to share the second part of remixes from our last EP Psycho including friends and amazing artists Maara, Anatole Serret, DJ TOOL & Lacchesi.

PREMIERE: Pureblast - Earth Replica (Maara Remix)

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.

GIVE IN TO SIN. From within the long-locked tombs of lesbian lore smoke rises and draws its whispering curtain across the wide open sky...and where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Secrets concealed by thick drunken clouds resurfaces naked truths in the last gasps of smouldering ashes. 

Oh you thought it would stay a secret? We’ve let sleeping lezzies lie long enough. It’s time to face the music. Welcome to BIG WHOOPS… Maara’s inaugural offering on her new label, Ancient Records. With this driving debut, Maara excavates the scrolls, archives, and dossiers upon which our past was built and our future depends. 

A wish for a world of sweet sapphic symbiosis—a fantasy, perhaps, or a waking dream? Nothing is promised except for right now. The past manifests in the present, both a blessing and a curse. Ancient Records fulfills your dark club fantasies as Maara unearths simmering secrets and hidden truths in a rapturous ushering in of a new era. Never forget where you came from, and just wait until you see where we’re going...

pi premiere: Maara - Scissor MeTimbers [Ancient Records]

Discoteca is over excitement to welcome DJ Beluga92 into the psychadelia family. It only took one speaker blast to understand the dancefloor power of these four to the floor tek bangers. A pure shot of adrenalia, a bright light into the night. When you’ll hear it, you’ll know. The mystical energy will guide you towards dance epiphany. As if that wasn’t enough, Christian Coiffure stopped by the spaceship to implement his sound design and delivers a subwoofer alternative that would shake any organs. See y'all out there.
