Labyrinthine Vol. 1

Once you come to your senses, a long and narrow staircase descending into darkness lies before you.

As you approach, you eventually see faint purplish glows below. Eerie sounds seem to accompany them. It is impossible to determine whether they are mechanical or organic.

Despite your exhaustion and worry about what's down there, you walk carefully into the abject depths of this mysterious structure.

Something here is waiting.

[16.05.2022]_____ 

From deep in the cyber realm comes an undefined entity known only as prox.bleep. Arriving to this plane wielding unnamable sound design techniques and indescribable sonic alchemy, he is no doubt an alien master of the unmentionable aural arts one only hears of whispered in dark corners of even darker places. 

Armed with a genre-defining grimoire of immaculately crafted hyperglitch spells, prox is set to unleash a wild torrent of mind gripping frequencies, creatively resampled to feed itself in a hypnotic dance of structureless structures. A fully contrived arcane spectacle deployed in the most bewildering manner. Is this world prepared for the darks arts of prox.Bleep?

Bewildering Wonder

SERAYR02: Satellite Era presents "Year Two: Revisited" - a charity-based compilation that features handpicked artists we invited to remix our discography and celebrate our second year as a record label.

Out now on all major platforms:

100% of the proceeds made from this release will be donated to Medical Disaster Response, a nonprofit that supports the people of Ukraine with necessary medical aid. Their team works shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukrainians on the frontline to deliver supplies directly to those who need it the most. They also coordinate with other non-government organizations for evacuations and refugee transportation.

Taken from our most popular EP of 2021, Swedish producer Lazarus Moment’s “Never Return” (SERA009) quickly became a standout track among listeners in our community. Inspired by the future garage pioneers that came before us, we sought out someone who shared those same influences - this made it easy to invite Boston-based artist ROBY. His remix keeps the track’s core qualities intact: galloping drums, emotive pads, and a persistent low-end layered beneath its atmosphere. He personalizes the rework by adding his own recorded vocals to it, which is a first in the Satellite Era catalog.

Earlier this year, frequent label collaborator Agent O delivered one of the most anticipated releases in our short history. Reaching faraway places amidst the internet music sphere, the project made its way back home to Chicago and into Ricky Digital’s workstation. The mysterious producer takes “That’s Enough Of That” (SERA012) and turns it into an over the top track well-equipped for a lively, peak-hour DJ set. Already heavy on the bassline and drum work, the remix takes a less serious approach by throwing in humorous vocals and quacking duck samples, all while maintaining its original aggression. The short-spanned but fun song leaves us with one very important question: who is Ricky Digital?

Our last visit to the Distant Arrays series brought us deep into the realm of jungle and drum ‘n’ bass. Upon arrival, we welcomed Zuni back for a track called “Growth” (SERA010) that pushed the envelope of his minimalist style. Shortly after its release, it caught the attention of Los Angeles-based artist RamonPang, who was very eager to take on its remix duties. Focused on a much longer progression than the original, he effortlessly introduces new elements throughout the track’s 9-minute duration. The repetition works as intended - it maintains the energy while bringing excitement each time a fresh percussive sound or synth enters the space.

Our label’s most recent release came from Turkish producer Fosil, a rising start in Istanbul’s underground scene. Packed with serious dancefloor weaponry, “Anti-You” (SERA013) took a more experimental approach than the rest, showcasing frantic drums and a clear nod to breakcore influences. With a desire to keep its eeriness unscathed, we reached out to the inimitable Sectra to fulfill the prophecy. A longtime friend and huge inspiration of ours, he turns the track into a slowed, spaced out rework that boasts gritty textures and a poisoned groove. His subtle yet effective use of sampling leaves remnants of the original on a harrowing trail, paving the way for a proper ending to this project.

We are immensely grateful for the support we have received over the past year.

Hyperglitch is an emerging genre that is informed by glitch, idm and experimental music that came before it, but is distinct from them. It uses new techniques, explores new concepts, and has a new aesthetic. “Hyper” in this sense doesn’t mean more, or faster, or louder, it’s meant in the “hypertext” way; as in: deeper and more interconnected. Hyperglitch is the evolution of glitch. It’s what happens when a generation of artists grow up surrounded by glitch, entrenched in the digital world. Their fluency and usage/exploitation of glitch has deeper roots and is more natural and nuanced than someone born outside of this environment. 

My hope is that by helping to define the genre through this series, it will help other artists within the subgenre to find each other, and help us all develop our work and leave the past behind (or at least the parts that are holding us back). I also hope that by casting a wide net it will dissuade others from creating a formula for the genre and freezing it in time (although I’m sure some of that is inevitable). I also want to stress that Hyperglitch is new. Some of the ideas have been circulating for years, some even as far back as the early 2000’s, but their current formulation and the combinations employed by these artists are something I have never heard before (even though I have been imagining the emergence of something similar for a long time). I hope this series will illuminate the thread that I think connects these artists, and will hopefully inspire other artists to join in and create their own Hyperglitch music. 

The first album in the series is Reason by Seskamol. It is an incredibly cinematic album that intercuts dissociative ambiences with harsh, fast and hyper-detailed percussive sections. Seskamol’s understanding of rhythm and percussion seems to have moved past the need for any groove or pulse, but instead of using the pallets of electro-acoustic music, or breakcore, he mangles the two with new and more refined techniques. Similar to the raw expressions of noise music or blast beats, but reinventing them through the drum programming of breakcore with modern sound design. The result is what I imagine it would be like to wake up in a post apocalyptic wasteland, an eerie calm and then the blasts of music from an aggressive and violent time before the collapse bombarding you from a radio passing through stations, or the blasting stereo system of a renegade gang vehicle passing you. The album oscillates through feelings of desperate anger and the disabling apathy of a particularly strong depression. By passing through it with Seskamol, we know we aren’t alone.
