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.

Zuni - Growth (RamonPang Remix)

Psycho Bummer is proud to present UFO!, a true originator for bass music in the United States and a hero to us since before we can remember. 

As part of San Francisco’s Phunckateck crew in the 90’s, UFO!’s early music staked out a militantly abstract form of techstep that was unlike anything else around at the time. Releases like “Science Fact / Enemy Infiltration” in 1999 were among the first US-produced drum’n’bass records that many stateside ravers bought, and while we can only speak for ourselves, UFO! was a huge inspiration in getting us to make our own music. 

On the “Level Up” EP, UFO! continues a recent exploration of jungle, footwork, and juke-influenced tracks that are completely unpretentious and fun yet carry a certain strain of weirdness that links back to his early music. From heads down rollers like “Operation Drag n Drop” to the bizarre rush of “Level Up”, this stuff is unmistakably UFO! and it’s an honor to have him on our label. We hope you’ll love these tunes as much as we do.

SERA016: Satellite Era presents “Desiccation EP” - a collection of sonically diverse tracks from Jon Linskey, best known as https://soundcloud.com/sectra.

With over a decade's worth of sedulous work and a robust catalog that reaches far beyond the electronic music sphere, Denver-based artist Sectra has left a distinct mark on every project he graces. Known for poignantly distorted soundscapes, his latest EP is a slight change of pace that delivers a more refined, emotive project overall.

Allowing himself to draw influences from a shifting environment while still maintaining certain qualities of his renowned formula, Sectra’s progression is unhindered by trends, but rather maturity. Keeping a close eye on his breakthrough dubstep and noise releases on worldwide labels over the years, there has been a noticeable transition from his tear-out distortion tactics to a more dynamic range in production. “Desiccation EP” showcases this adaptation, touching on eccentric genres such as deconstructed club, dark ambient, slowed techno, and everything in between.

No style or tempo is safe from the wrath of Sectra - the EP begins with its title track in his native 140 BPM. A different approach to his flagship dubstep production, “Desiccation” focuses more on stirring pads yet still wields remnants of his old distorted ways. “Peaking In A Pool Of Film” is a genuine nod to deconstructed club, with a stripped-down percussive sound wrapped in elegance. “Bloody Porcelain” introduces a unique take on dark hip-hop beats, featuring a blown-out bassline and shuffling percussion that sounds like the track is being dragged through an alley of nails. A clear peak in the project is felt with “They Shrink Back To Their Silken Beds” - poetic synths fill the stereo while the low-end rattles amidst each kick. The EP cools down with “Stopping Hoax,” a brilliant finale where poisoned and hollow techno meet a roughened industrial sound.

”Desiccation EP” is a testament to Sectra’s growth through an era of producing grueling, unforgiving music. He has learned to continue withholding skin-crawling moments effectively, all while capturing the essence of a newfound expression through sound. Rather than being expectedly rugged around the edges, his latest project feels pristine and precise in what it seeks to accomplish. His journey of conveying human development through audible stories continues…

The visual concept behind "Desiccation EP" was to create tangible, 1-of-1 art pieces based on its cover. Made in TouchDesigner by Nic Juister, all 50 limited edition prints have been procedurally generated to react with the audio. They each mark a unique point in time within the EP and allow listeners to personally own a slice of the project.
