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.

We’ve been keeping a close eye on Faelow since the premiere of his debut Floating Underground EP, and in the five years since then, he’s shown remarkable artistic growth and vision. Having stayed the course of downtempo, scintillating electronic music throughout that time, there’s a certain polish that’s evident in both sound design and composition across his maturing catalog. To that end, The Rust is incredibly excited to host the first full length Faelow LP, Lumivora, as our 91st release.

In the wake of his widely lauded ambient set at The Rendezvous in 2024, Faelow had the ingredients for this album already in the works. Pushing these arrangements over the compositional finish line, he’s turned out 8 tracks with meandering and tempered gaits. There’s no explosive resolutions or high-energy rollers, leaving behind kinetics in favor of aqueous instrumentation and reverberant, subsurface percussion. Dialed in for both the stage and the home, Lumivora is a stand-out release that sets a bar standard for 2025’s potential additions in the landscape of melodically-rich electronic productions.

Faelow - Glorious Abyss

Take the leap, move fiercely towards the unknown, sway in rhythm between obstacles and embrace the uncertainty with a gentle smile.

This 11 tracks long album, meticulously crafted with the intention of turning inner demons into house pets, is an ode to self-worthiness.
Shoo-shoo the feelings of inadequacy, this world is chaos anyways, nothing can tell you what to be, how to be, not even orange people or insecure children disguised in billionaire meat suits !

Leap is an hybrid creature, getting inspiration from music of all kinds (mostly shades of Bass music in a larger sense, alright, alright.. not much opera or Metal core going on here, maybe next time). Alternating downtempo, faster beats and at times frenetic psychedelic glitchy goodness.

The opening track "Insidious", despite its eerie name, is a tasty blend of machine-like grooves and emotive themes, setting a strong tone.
From here on, let the ebb and flow carry your mind and soul through
this story, the story of a leap of faith and hope that we aren't totally lost !

The artwork, an original watercolor piece by Taiwanese artist GuaGua Wang is the perfect addition to this release, giving it a strong and beautiful visual aesthetic, and mushrooms are gods by the way, treat them nicely.

After five years in the desert, Geoglyph returns with a new solo album Otherworldly. Recorded on analogue synths, bass guitar, flute, and melodica, and with guest appearances from guitarists Jason Bond and Toby Snowden, this is a warm, proggy album with a handmade feel. Continuing on the path set by Geolinguistic and Messages from the Resonator, each track tells a story with contrasting sections. COME AND HEAR: inscrutable ceremonies in twilit caverns; ancient glyphs carved on stony mesas; impossible structures which defy space and time.

A little frenzy can't hurt, but don't forget to use elbow and knee protections in case.
Here's a juicy 4-tracks hyperactive EP to wake your neighbors.

Extended demo of the new "Flesh" Reaktor 6 instrument. "Changing Colors" :-) Very cool innovative performance synth that turns anything you feed it into a electronic symphony


Notes - Only two instances of the Flesh ensemble used. For this demo I used a few kicks, snares, high hats, cymbal crashes, ethnic percussion, and white noise samples at some of the loop parts and at the transitions segments. These where all single shot sounds not loops, that I programmed in time with Flesh. This only accounts for a small amount compared to what Flesh was actually doing, which was about 85% of the demo. I took one snare crash from one of the kits in Flesh and reverse it for one transition. The rest of the sounds are 100% Flesh. There was only one touch of reverb on a Aux send and return with 2CAudio 2C-B2 plug-in.
