Visual Art and Music have historically shared an important, entwined relationship; often posing questions of which provoked which in a project? What about when the imagery is a medieval surrealist, hyper coloured XTC wonderland? Genre-blurred and stirred, daring and dynamic dance music for the twistedly imaginative minds and bodies! The Tapestry of Sound is an audio tribute to the liquid lockdown Tapestry of 2020, a wall-size mixed media art piece originally intended for a live-stream backdrop; despite not being completed in time, it became the epicentre of communal creative junction & release - no limits or logical sense. The result, a sonic terrarium cultivated by longtime partners in crime D. Tiffany and Roza Terenzi; with the help of friends, weaving their sapphic magic into something wicked and new for STEP02, Tapestry of Sound.

A maypole is a tall wooden pole often erected as part of late 19th century European Midsummer folk festivals, around which a dance often takes place; coinciding with Summer Solstice, or in Corona-era... Scrollstice. The A-side presents two contrasting offerings of the Maypole Theme, opening with the Surrealist Piano Roll Mix; an effortless euphoria gliding and twirling amidst a rolling 2-step garage routine, playfully anticipating melodic ecstasy via black and white keys. A complementary contrast offered by the Looming Giant Mix; sleek and deep. A hot-femme fiasco, driving and deviating between 4/4 and a freaky broken plot-twist; evoking imagery of the night, skipping fiercely round the pole; which was often considered a symbol of the union between masculine and feminine energy.

Wasp Of A Woman initiates the B side blowout, stripped back and sensual, but don’t be fooled; this is a straight-up b0mb. Low end throbbing underneath ferociously swung drums, topped by microphone assassin Kaylin with the fire lyrical content, a true upcycle of genres to set the mood for a flammable dancefloor. Cooling off, only slightly for a cigarette break, is Inhale, Exhale the final track from the EP. The tempo finally settling down but bumping up the groove with thumping toms guiding a playful party-starter, rhythmic and melodically inspired; infectiously cheeky with subliminal naughty memos teasing their way in through the backdoor.

Let your mind run wild with this effortless collaboration, two minds sharing the same obscurely forward-thinking visionary, the Tapestry Of Sound; a Meta Musical Time Capsule.

Nthr1 - Flash of Reminiscence

SG007 by @deejayposture

A recent stalwart of Sydney’s blossoming underground music scene, Posture brings us their first international release, a 5 TRACK MULTI-GENRE EPIC

The EP features unusually long tracks that dip and weave beautifully between genres, much like the Record Thief dips and weaves amongst the shadows on a late night thieving excursion..😈😈😈

Rave, electro, techno, breaks feature all on one track… let alone throughout the EP that has incredible variety. Elements of techno and breaks (+ more) perfectly align with atmospheric breakdowns that draw the listener in before driving powerfully forward.

To say we are excited about this release is a massive understatement. We think this collection of songs is stratospherically sick, defying convention, incredibly produced, and pushing a unique sound forward outside of boxed ideas of genre. 

This release is exactly what we set out to do when we started the label , so we couldn’t be happier for this to be an SG release. @deejayposture is up next, watch this space!!!

Tracklist:
A1 - Spin
A2 - Encoder 
A3 - Back
B1 - Honey
B2 - Uh Oh

The bermuda triangle of Berlin; a meeting of medicinal minds for the inaugural splitstep. Byron Yeates, Roza Terenzi & D, Tiffany come Tag-teaming and steaming with licks of flirty tech, hard house, pumping prog and sleek, freaky techno bouncing off the walls. A true melting pot of deeply burrowed memories of dance, the trio collaborate in various ways to propel a new age wave of dance music; a delicious mix of rough, tough and playfully feminine which embodies Step Ball Chain. 
Cheers queers!

Gushing all over the A Side with a funk force of tech house, Roza Terenzi sticks her heels in and locks down The Groove™ like no other, reduced tempo for the calm before the storm. Warming up the original just in time for the Byron Yeates remix; providing a stripped back, sped up, jacking rendition of Gush served hot and heavy. Bouncing into the B side, Byron causes the heat to rise to the top, Cauldron of Chaos simmering and ready to blow, use with caution. Rounding out this seriously hot record is Roza & D. Tiff with a tech leaning team up, Prude Pride hitting all the right spots for a manifested meltdown. 

4 Club certified hitz, guaranteed to make you sweat. Don’t you dare sleep!

@maara transforms Dawn to Dawn's spacey synth pop hit Seventh Floor into a sexy psychedelic dance-floor trance bomb. Fast, trippy, and hypnotic, she turns haunting melodies of longing into immaculate loops of sweat dripping down the walls; unforgettable work by one of techno's rising stars.

Seventh Floor (Maara Remix)

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.
