The Stepmode / Stillsteppin EP from Ryan Elliott is a leek, driving pair of techno tools by the Berghain/Panorama Bar resident, out on the club’s record label Ostgut Ton. The shaking, up-stepping hi-hats, rude Reese bass and hypnotic tuning of Stepmode possibly belies some influence from his colleague, Fiedel, or at least from more outernational sources and London’s funky sound, whilst his Stillsteppin offer more pensive drones and darkly dubbed out dynamics primed for cavernous rave spaces.
