Description
2022, 12″ EP, Step Ball Chain.
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! – Clone
Something of an all-star EP this, featuring as it does cuts from a trio of new-school deep house, ambient techno and psychedelic breakbeat heroes. The central figure is the mighty Roza Terenzi, who not only offers up a fine solo cut – the chunky, wonky, tactile, bass-heavy breakbeat house headiness of ‘Gush’, which offers a perfect balance between hallucinatory sounds and weighty dancefloor grooves – but also joins forces with long-time pal D Tiffany on the mind-mangling, percussively skittish techno oddity that is ‘Prude Pride’. The other key operative is rising star Byron Yeates, who supplements the neo-trance bounce of ‘Cauldron of Chaos’ with a sturdy, forthright and all-action rework of Ternzi’s ‘Gush’. – Juno
