[clip] Limited Toss - This Is Another Ruff Mix from SLAP COMPILATION

STRX002: Satellite Trax presents the second release on our new sublabel - “Heartbreak EP” by Jeff Gill, best known as @norfik.

Out now on all major platforms: https://ffm.to/strx002

At the end of 2021, we welcomed Chicago-based Norfik onto our label with an attentive track [SERA010] that had us seeking more. Since then, the local beatmaker has extended himself to various pillars of the electronic music complex. He surely has learned to keep busy, from scoring short films and playing at local events, to showcasing his originals on household American labels such as TAR, Jollies Records, Juke Bounce Werk, and more.

Norfik tends to wear his influences on his sleeve with a high output of breakbeat-inspired tracks that celebrate his heavyweight predecessors. He is also unafraid to crank up the speed and tap into the world of jungle, drum & bass, and even breakcore. What makes his work stand out is his interest in ambient music, an external force that pushes him into a more emotive realm. The byproduct of his music genes is an authentic sound that may feel familiar to the avid dancefloor enthusiast, but genuine in its nature of being meaningful art from a real artist.

These attributes hold true to “Heartbreak EP,” a journey through lush ambiance met with rattling drum breaks. Norfik set out to make a collection of tracks that feel straightforward and transparent; what you hear is what you get. Unintended to be cohesive, the project feels woven together by raw emotion and shares the same theme throughout. With an influx of listeners crowding around the atmospheric jungle subculture, Norfik steers clear from the rest by delivering a recognizable yet unique body of work.

“Heartbreak EP” is composed of many different ideas that come together in a listenable package. The EP starts with “Greed,” a rhythmic introduction that captures listeners with rolling percussion. Tracks like “Denial” and “Into Action” do a wonderful job in displaying the contrast between thumping drums and atmospheric pads in the stereo space. The title track serves as the peak of the project, putting an emphasis on a tense buildup and rush of energy in its chorus. “Approach” concludes the EP with a track that touches on breakcore-fused antics, while staying persistent with the established ambiance.

One of the best qualities of “Heartbreak EP” is its ability to write its own story while still allowing space for interpretation. Norfik challenges his listeners to reflect on their own selves and remember what keeps them moving. Drenched in nostalgia yet holding itself to a high standard in modern production, the result is some of his best and most impactful work thus far.

Satellite Trax: an expansion of our core imprint that focuses on dance-centric music and its club roots; part of the foundation within our sonic heritage. This sublabel serves as a primary source of dancefloor weaponry for DJs and enthusiasts aiming to unveil the latest rhythms heard from around the electronic music sphere.

We Are Satellite Era. We Are Worldwide.

Cela faisait un certain temps que nous n’avions pas sorti de dubstep sur Egregore Collective, et qui de mieux placé pour la tâche que le producteur Parisien Argo.

Tout droit venu de la banlieue et désormais installé dans la capitale, cela fait presque une décennie qu’Argo se taille une place de choix dans le paysage dubstep français, et en est désormais un des noms les plus reconnus. Les fans du genre seront sans doute familier·es de son travail très prolifique, reconnu par les labels les plus respectés de la scène tels que Sentry, Artikal ou encore le sous label de White Peach Yellow Flower.

Sur les talons de son album acclamé sur Encrypted Audio, il signe 4 tracks qui témoignent de sa versatilité quand il s’agit d’explorer le spectre entourant la bass musique à 140 bpm avec son approche de beatmaker, son univers sombre et mélancolique ponctué de samples de jeux vidéo. Pour compléter l’EP, Pardon transforme le puissant morceau titre ‘Coupable’ en un remix incisif, futuriste et grimey.

It’s been a while since we put out some proper dubstep on Egregore Collective, and who would be better suited to the task than parisian producer Argo.

Hailing from the banlieue of Paris and now currently based in the capital, Argo has spent almost a decade earning himself a reputation as one of the most recognizable French 140 producers. Fans of the genre should be familiar with his extremely prolific output, having signed on well respected labels such as Sentry, Artikal, or White Peach’s Yellow Flower sublabel.

Hot on the heels of his acclaimed LP on Encrypted Audio, he delivers a 4-tracker that showcases his versatility when it comes to exploring the spectrum around 140 bpm music with his trademark beatmaker approach, dark and moody cuts punctuated by video game samples. To complement the release, friend of the collective Pardon takes the heavy hitting title track ‘Coupable’ and turns it into a sharp, futuristic and grimey sounding remix.
