"5th Generation Angel is a sonic experience oscillating between existing in the mind and in the body. This EP was crafted during an era where I surrendered to myself. I previously have struggled with existing solely in my head. During the period these songs were created, I regularly tried to suspend the mind to sink into movement and pleasure habitually. Many of these pieces are capsules of either side of this polarity or combine moments of both, extreme feeling and thinking. I created this oeuvre, in pursuit of transformation specifically in regards to healing my relationship with myself. I found wholeness in my soul through creating vs. the inclination towards perfectionism. During the stage of production I reflected on the beauty, pain and my ability to heal past the limitations I have bestowed on myself. This record is the ascension into a realm of actualization and application.

Sonically, 5th Generation Angel holds the theme of duality, juxtaposing density and illumination, chaos and grounding, and the pain-pleasure principle. Maude conveys these polarities throughout the record with heavy bass lines, shimmering bell accompaniment, otherworldly textures, whispered vocals and apexed synth leads. Each song carries you to the next with moments of intensity and/or release. 5th Generation Angel is metaphysical, cinematic, and warehouse worthy all at once."

@Ozoyo dives deep into the hidden realms of sound, creating an immersive experience where sonic textures twist and pulse like living organisms. Worm, the debut album of Ozoyo, features a rich tapestry of underground and underwater environments, where each track takes on the character of a unique, dynamic creature. Some compositions burrow through the earth like worms in moist soil, sparking unseen life beneath the surface. Others navigate murky waters, where beauty and tension blend in a dance of unpredictability.

Crafted with analog synthesizers, Elektron drum machines, and digital tools from Sonic Charge, Ozoyo’s soundscapes evoke both the familiar and the mysterious. The collaborations with @simocell and foodman introduce new dimensions, adding layers of complexity to the already intricate sound. 'Worm' takes listeners on a journey through evolving textures & rhythms, drawing from electronic, ambient, & experimental beats. The album invites exploration, allowing each listener to interpret its organic, shifting soundscapes in their own way.

Premiere: Ozoyo 'Hammerhead Worm' (feat. Simo Cell)

Super excited to welcome Sentient with his powerful debut Blank Aperture, a five-track EP that masterfully blends bass music influences with grey area aesthetics. Through distorted yet juicy textures, razor-sharp rhythms, and deep, driving grooves, Sentient crafts a soundscape that is as dystopian as it is captivating.
The title track ‘Blank Aperture’ opens with gritty halftime grooves and meticulously crafted distortion, building an atmosphere thick with tension. ‘Repeater’ warps perceptions with its polymetric structures and rhythmical shifts, while ‘Void Treader’ explores stark minimalism, each element painstakingly placed. ‘Frayed End’, a collaboration with Kahter, shifts the energy to full-throttle bass music with smacking percussion and earth-shaking basslines.
Closing the release, ‘Spiral Realm’ plunges into abstract ambient territory, with metallic drones, stretched breaks, and heavy bass surges evoking a bleak, dystopian horizon.

SERA023: Satellite Era presents “Aetherial Pulses EP” - a futuristic sound collage by Mhamed Mansouri, best known as @disektor.

Wrapping up our most active year at the Satellite Era HQ finds us taking a glimpse into what is to come. With 2025 looking to be even busier, we call upon an old friend to guide us into the unknown by setting a strong sonic precedent, while still paying homage to the formative style of our vast audio museum.

Over two years since his label debut on our acclaimed Distant Arrays series, we welcome back Moroccan based producer, sound designer, programmer, and visual artist. He first landed on our radar as a standout in SoundCloud’s experimental niche back in early 2020, the same year as our imprint’s conception. Complementing his production are interactive live performances that utilize creative coding, which generate varied results with each passthrough and are repurposed back into his workstation - a feedback loop tested for success. Founder of Geometric Corruption, the collective works in tandem with us and our friends at glitch.cool to tend to the international community, bringing together experimental electronic enthusiasts from around the world. Rather than conforming to a set approach, he builds on the high-fidelity hyperglitch subculture with a twist of his own - songs that feel more musical and intricate overall. This attribute has ultimately led him to his next offering to the consumers of computer music.

“Aetherial Pulses EP” finds Disektor teetering between digitized realms & the natural world, taking the form of a sonic poem that exhibits glitched maximalism & melodic tones alike. The project still delivers stuttering drum patterns meant to engulf the listener, but also paints the rest of the stereo with a coating of lush ambiance. The project begins with “Reflections,” a mellow entry with a grueling bassline that progresses into a preview of the complexity ahead. The title track serves its purpose as a clear summary of the EP, while heightening the energy with vocal chops that feel almost psychedelic at times. The pulsating synths really begin to take form in “Lush Deviation,” a middle-ground between heavy low-end presence and percussion riding higher frequencies. “Emergence In Motion” recruits frequent collaborator Tenebral Cortex to deliver a seven-minute cinematic experience of its own, which feels like a separate story within the entire narrative. “Waves” is a formidable end to the project, with an eerie yet beautiful piano melody in the outro that leaves it open-ended.

Although “Aetherial Pulses EP” is only Disektor’s second-ever extended play, the project is easily his best and most emotive work yet - a stepping stone for what is next on his musical agenda. The undertones speak of finding senses of tranquility in the decaying Earth around us however we can. It perfectly contributes to our DNA as servants of the experimental intersection and delivers a memorable, sometimes challenging journey.

SERA028: Satellite Era presents "Soft Soil EP" - the debut project of queer multi-instrumentalist néel, formerly known as Boris Donskoff.

Out now on all major platforms: https://ffm.to/sera028

Trekking through long and humid days of a lively summer, we find ourselves yearning to take the longer route more frequently. In an effort to capture slowed moments of the expansive world around us, we turn to an eccentric up and comer to help us master meditation through downtempo and space.

It was only a couple short seasons ago that French artist néel introduced themselves to us, bringing forth handmade audio relics like a merchant traveling across the mountainous internet. We were enticed hearing the byproduct of computerized sounds blended with organic field recordings - a stark yet memorable contrast. We were then astonished to hear that these demos would only mark the beginning of this contemporary guitarist's journey into our sonic niche. With a little help from our vibrant and welcoming community, we planted their compelling seedlings into the damp dirt of our musical garden.

We are proud to unveil the latest strain of our creative harvest - one as sentimental as it is inventive. Welcome to "Soft Soil EP," the debut project of néel and a field guide to their search for a newfound sonic identity. The composition was mainly developed in an isolated countryside home, utilizing its calm yet hollowing ambiance as an instrument. This stripped-down site, sometimes lacking electricity, was then filled with recordings of various social encounters on the bustling streets of urban sprawls around Europe. This juxtaposition is celebrated throughout the EP, combining both realms into one that thoughtfully expresses how their heart splits in two. The introduction serves as a synopsis of the journey ahead, mashing environmental sounds drenched in reverb under their careful guitar plucks. "Antha" brings out a more synthesized approach to néel's overall intention, yet still sounds like electronica indulged in nature. "Softly Pushed" and "Restlessness" stand out as songs with city origins - recordings of mindless chatter and flailing metal coincide with the franticness of modern drum 'n' bass. The two are split by "Sagittarius," a ravishing track that effortlessly demands attention like an unforgettable live solo. "0011" allows the project to fade out with rustic trip-hop wielding an undeniable groove - it concludes with a captivating guitar piece that softly tops off the soil blend.

"Soft Soil EP" tells the story of an artist searching for their footing, breaking the tender ground beneath them with each cautious step toward the vast ecosystem of experimental electronic music. In néel's case, the allegory digs deeper as it unearths their harmonious roots and intertwines them with the tangible world. The mixture is equal parts personal as it is musical, paving the way for what will surely be a thrilling sonic adventure.
