As a defining figure of Detroit’s ‘Second Wave’, Stacey Pullen has always been known for his precision, depth, and refusal to stand still. Across decades of evolution, his sound has never stopped moving, and with ‘Side2Step’, the Blackflag Recordings boss continues that legacy, bridging the timeless foundations of house and techno with the energy and immediacy of today’s vibrant landscape.
Arriving after a series of standout releases from the label’s expanding roster, ‘Side2Step’ sees Pullen step back into the spotlight with a statement track that encapsulates the essence of Blackflag: created for the floor and loaded with groove. A masterclass in rhythm, it balances bumping percussion and hypnotic movement with a hooky lead vocal, echoing the tension and release that have always defined his work while introducing a new side to his sound.
While many artists look back, Pullen looks ahead, curating new talent through his label while continuing to evolve his own sound in real time. ‘Side2Step’ embodies that progression. A track that’s grounded in electronic roots but sculpted for the modern dancefloor, reaffirming his role not only as a pioneer but as a constant innovator in the global landscape.
Stacey Pullen ‘Side2Step’ drops via Blackflag Recordings on 28th November 2025.
