SERA014: Satellite Era presents "Distant Arrays Volume 05" - the fifth edition of our various artist series that aims to diversify our collection of experimental dance music.

Our long-awaited return to the Distant Arrays series finds us venturing back to the core idea that encapsulates our label: experimentation. This edition targets eccentric subgenres, maximalist sound design, and distinct ventures to glitched-out realms. We are thrilled to introduce an entirely new cast of producers onto our roster, each wielding an unparalleled approach to the world of leftfield electronic music.

Setting a stylistic precedent for the release, we welcome @disektor and @tenebralcortex to our label with “Selective Exposure.” Based in Morocco and France respectively, the two Geometric Corruption artists combine their efforts to deliver a challenging track that focuses on forward-thinking sound design. Panning glitched tones travel through the spatial soundscape, while a distorted kick drum consistently drives the song’s energy. Beneath all its glitchy gloriousness lies a notable foundation inspired by both braindance and breakbeat.

Following his remix on our latest compilation “Year Two: Revisited,” Los Angeles-based artist @ramonpang joins forces with Italian producer @pcnxo to deliver a track that closely ties their different styles together. Blending precise drum work with pleasant vocal cuts that feel like a motif, “Death-Singing Flower” is an ode to experimental music that is unafraid to be emotional. As of late, both artists have been delivering highly acclaimed projects individually: Psykh proudly represents the Millennium Strike crew, while RamonPang just released a full-length record on his Tabula Rasa imprint.

Having been on our radar since the start of the label, we welcome Montreal-based producer, visual artist, and event organizer @fxbip. With formative releases on Concrete Collage, he finds sonic inspiration just about everywhere, from modern electronic to microtonal and contemporary classical music. His latest track “Hydrogen Cocktail” is a clear nod to the niche world of breakcore - frantic percussion, alerting pads, and a gabber-like bassline all align to create an authentic experience for avid followers of the subgenre.

Based in Northern California over the years, @lobie has quietly grown with the experimental bass music scene historically from that region - this is a clear influence in “Grid,” with its attentive sub and melodic synths. The track was produced and performed live without the use of a digital audio workstation, utilizing his personal arsenal of synthesizers and samplers. Implementing polyrhythmic patterns that are rotated throughout the progression, this unique track has found a proper home on the off-kilter side of our label.

Distant Arrays is an immersive showcase of our audio/visual capabilities as a collective. We are honored to introduce you to our growing team, continuously expanding our newfound interpretation of sound.

"Stationed beyond the horizon lies a cluster of autonomous satellite arrays - each serving as capsules of detained time, points of transit between diverse concepts, and the sensorial relation between tangible audio and visual worlds. They fill the thin air with varied frequencies and beam optic elements into the minds of drawn newcomers and devoted adherents alike. Though each array hosts different creators from every remote edge of this decaying planet, they communicate with us through the vigorous potential of art. They link together to create a limitless field without borders – only human connection. These are the Distant Arrays..."

To kick-off our first foray into the CD world we present to you a double CD compilation brimming with a wonderfully eclectic selection of forward-thinking music from some of our favourite artists. Taken from all manner of musical circles, this collection of sounds goes a long way to representing every facet of the label's influence and output. Artists we've been working with from the origins of the label and artists we will be releasing far more of in the future sit alongside each other on one release, providing a perfect entry point to the Love Love experience.

All too often variety is hard to find in a singular release, so we have collected together 36 tracks, from 36 artists, into one easily accessible source. Electronic sound experiments sit snugly alongside fine-tuned club constructions and good old fashioned pop music, some fresh and some dug out of forgotten hard drives. Solid nuggets of aural pleasure have been selected; Lakker's inspired ethereal bass music, rugged amplified tracks from Buddy Lee Dickens and H.O.O.F, Ultrademon's OG Seapunk sound, Beatwife's frantic acid sprawl, Scrase's warm melodicism, Valance Drake's glitch mastery, a charged slice from london warehouse hero Ely Muff, FFF's jungle wizardry, digital brutality from Duran Duran Duran collaborating with the elusive Xanopticon, some future wisdom from Goodiepal - the aarhaus warrior and a truly beautiful wandering track from Anklepants, to name but a few.

This release provides a reflection of the musical diversity that we strive to provide. In order to make it completely accessible, the compilation can be downloaded in 320kbps mp3 and WAV formats for free, as well as being available in the form of a very limited double digipack CD.

Thank you Emily, and thanks to everyone who's encouraged and supported me!

YFBOB - Really Not Funny

a track i did on december of 2022, extremely noisy and ear piercing, it has to be like that, innocence its something magical and pure, and when we lost it its extremely harsh, and we realize how evil humans can be and how unmerciful life can as well.
