Bell Curve - Take U There

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.

"Celebrating one year of Conveyor Audio, we decided to 
solemnise the milestone with a proper release, gathering different 
artists and approaches around the label’s ethos. Putting some old faces together whom we had the chance to release their music previously alongside with some newcomers on our headquarters, and some already well known and established faces on the scene, expanding the spectrum of the label in terms of what you can expect in the future, without a disregard for the doors that have been opened before. 

Despite our intention to keep the label open to multi-genre music and BPM's, this EP is focused on the starting point of Conveyor Audio as a label and on what was the first release, seeking different approaches and outcomes to the dark aesthetic that marked not only the beginning but the path we thrived for the label, making this release a solid but heterogeneous EP, marked by darker ambiences, loaded with heavy but organic beats, approaching a common feel through the various creative inputs of different artists who compose it. 

To make it more solid and meaningful, we chose “Rizoma” as the title for this compilation, the Portuguese word for “Rhizome”, a philosophical current developed by philosophers Deleuze and Guattari whose concept was taken from biology and used to describe a way of thinking that disregards the centralization, hierarchy and dichotomy as prevailing and which, in fact, incorporates the multiple, the multiplicity. Characterized as an a-centered, non-hierarchical system, a rhizome is a “drawing of lines” that connect bulbs of different natures without, however, defining points and positions. These bulbs are not units but dimensions which, when altered, change the nature of the bulb itself; they are multiplicities. In this sense, and transporting this concept to this release, a work (an Album, or a track) can either be analyzed in the light of its whole, but in terms of the various individual points or the influence and intersection of these points with each other, as ramifications within ramifications that expand and intersect, opening links and confluence between elements."

[Premiere] Neurotoxin - Rapture (VA Rizoma Vol. 1 out via Conveyor Audio)

"In the making of this body of work, I found myself surrendered to the creative flow that occurred in each piece individually. As if the work at a certain point starts to delegate and I have no choice but to serve. Serving in a way of not knowing conceptually what I'm doing.
An organic asymmetric approach was the basis for the whole aesthetic exploration. A dialogue between repetition and irregularity whose sum is leading into a playful yet dark gloomy nature.

In CREATURE I investigated the relationship between technical knowledge or rather the rigid imagination of an idea to the unpredictable fluidness of creation. Every track sort of becomes a CREATURE that deeply wants to be itself and given that, it feels ultimately brutal wanting it to fit in in any way. I am the initial ignition or the person having an idea to start something new but I always end up being a tool, a trigger or a small protagonist in a world that is now something of itself.“ — Chewlie

B:Thorough w/ Slick - Subtle Radio - 27/01/2023

Welcome @deepstate-nz to the ETR family <3
//
Taking inspiration from classic garage, rave, and breakbeat anthems of the past, Tāmaki Makaurau artist deepState presents her latest EP via Echo Train Records.

The first track, Butterfly, signals a nod to downtempo stylings of the 1990's before moving into a rave inspired synthesis, paired with some subtly placed keys.

The second track, Starfield, leads in with soothing pads, towards heavy vocal bridges that build the song into a state of euphoric harmony.

Alongside these two tracks, Ōtautahi producer Ultraviolet provides a remix of Starfield, a complimentary high-voltage jungle alternative to the original.
