I am very excited to announce I am releasing a new track called "Recursion Constructors". This piece was a commission for the University of Huddersfield. A 12-minute mind-bending Electroacoustic journey driven by a customized MakeNoise modular system and various objects, that utilized the FluCoMa toolset.

Patterns Beneath the Eyelids

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.

Ill Primed

Lucika (they/them) is an artist based in Brussels, Belgium. After years of composing music for others in theaters, they finally did something for themselves : a first solo release with Yuku. Coming from live sound design on & off stage, their field work consistently combines both a reflexive and an experimental practice with a variety of colours, from acoustic to electronic, introspective to adventurous, always focused on a precise rhythmic work. The outcome of this research is often a constructed deconstruction which slides aesthetically between the genres of bass, postclub and breaks.

Earth Memory Colander is a four-track tense and fragmented project that combines organic sounds, sharp rhythms and swarming noises to shape the backdrop of a peculiar story : the tale of Fruglub : a termite who has been chased away from home by their Queen, the termite Queen. Fruglub’s internal journey of confusion, introspection, and potential revenge mirrors the chaotic yet cohesive nature of the compositions.

“From above, all exists yet elsewhere persists,
Impact nails and luck saps
Beyond drought.
Will later exist
A mechanical solution
A fold of memory colander where my wince swarm
An Earth plunge
Fruglub incorporates.”

"We’re stoked to share Inner Surface: a collection of our favorite tracks that have sparked deep reactions on systems. Mostly rooted in our love for psychedelia, textured grooves, and that strange sense of hazy clarity, this EP draws from the subconscious forces that shape us such as ego, illusion, and desire: the tension between what lies within and what shows up on the surface.

These inner forces can loop in on themselves, like thought spirals you can dance to.
That idea guided this approach to both sound and structure.

We drew from a wide spectrum of psychedelic music, bass, techno and IDM - the sounds that have shaped our perspective and challenged our sense of form.

This project leans deep into the low end but pulls textures and feelings from all directions. A reflection of sound as sensation, instinct, and pattern.

We’re glad to put this out there and hope it finds you in the right headspace."

Tokyo-based Herbalistek presents Tropism on Ethos Records, a compelling EP that explores the invisible forces driving movement and emotion. Inspired by natural instincts and unconscious reactions, each track translates organic motion into sound—gradual shifts, evolving rhythms, and the subtle tension between control and surrender. Drawing from both internal impulses and external cues, Tropism unfolds as a sonic journey where texture, timing, and pulse form an unspoken dialogue that moves both body and mind.
