SERAYR01: Satellite Era presents "Year One: Revisited" - a compilation celebrating our first year as a label, featuring handpicked artists that we invited to remix our discography. This is the first edition of what will be an annual, charity-based release series in our catalog selection.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, 100% of the proceeds made from this project will be donated to NoStigmas, a Chicago-based nonprofit organization specializing in mental health inclusivity & accessibility.

We welcome Montreal-based producer @yungbrtrnd on remix duties for @gonima - "Luminescence," released earlier this year on Distant Arrays Volume 03 (SERA008). Keeping all the ethereal emotions that the song provides in tact, he turns it into a garage-influenced, club-ready track that feels both authentic & accessible.

It felt right to invite Istanbul-based @granulmusic to remix his friend & fellow countryman @fosilbass. The two Turkish artists have been leading the way in their underground scene & are beginning to make bigger waves in the global music sphere. He takes "Retiform," released on Distant Arrays Volume 01 (SERA005) last December, & turns it into a mind-numbing track with dancing breakbeats & a powerful bassline.

With unreleased tracks teased in our label showcase mix earlier this year, @terminal11 makes his Satellite Era debut with a remix of "2346" from @testbenchaudio - Butterfly EP (SERA002). With a musical career spanning over 20 years that helped pioneer the early U.S. breakcore movement, the Phoenix artist takes a different approach in this rework - he creates a thumping techno track that progresses deeper into haunting, modular sounds.

We end this EP with a very special remix from algorithmic producer @kindohm - he digests @tsone - Airmass EP (SERA004) in its entirety & turns it into an uneasy collage full of twists & turns. Remains of all six original tracks can be deciphered in this unique take on one of our most beloved releases from 2020.

We are immensely grateful for the support that we have received over the past year. We hope to continue shining light to societal issues first & foremost, all while providing meaningful art for those struggling around the world.

Ton Mise - Light Seen Through Gaps In Buildings [Rendah Mag Premiere]

SERA021: Satellite Era presents “Xtilde EP,” an accumulation of ethereal music by Sol Rosenthal, best known as Iris Ipsum. 

Broadcasting from somewhere deep in the noisy liveliness of Los Angeles, one may not expect to hear experimental electronic music met with lush, tranquil tones. The urban world feels confined to a snow globe at times, making it difficult to welcome foreign influences into its uniformity. It takes a more calculated approach to break these boundaries - thankfully we have recruited a rising star to help us persist.

At quite a young age compared to the sonic pioneers that move us, Iris Ipsum has already made a clear statement in our biosphere: they are bunkering down for the long run. Juggling music, visual art, and software design, they ensure to blend together and implement all of their crafts with each project. On the audio side, they are inspired by early electronic subgenres such as ambient, electronica, breakbeat, and everything in between. This curiosity led to their debut album “Pattern Language” landing on the esteemed Touched Music imprint last year. Sharing a platform with innovators such as Autechre, The Future Sound of London, and Plaid is an incredible feat, but their follow-up to the release flexes the potential for even more promising times ahead.

Since its conception, “Xtilde EP” was influenced by Iris Ipsum’s devotion to expanding in multiple mediums. Their visuals normally embody sculptures as a focal point, which also serves as a catalytic aspect of their sound practices. Utilizing field recordings and deep listening amidst the franticness of urban environments lays the foundation of their work; spending time in the California mountains and deserts capture the essence of what makes it unique. Tying two tangible realms together is their passion for creative coding - most of this project was produced using self-made Max for Live instruments and VST plugins.

“Xtilde EP” was continually written, building on a collective idea and meant to be enjoyed from start to finish. Though cohesive by nature, Iris Ipsum also allows the project to encapsulate different moods, rather than staying on a singular path. The EP begins on a high note with “Subspace,” an energetic jungle track that nicely fits bouncing drum breaks with a dazzling ambiance. “Loreti” slows the tempo down, introducing a change of pace for the rest of the project. From here, we are met by a clever contrast between pristine drum work that feels heavy yet clean, along with uplifting melodies and tonal vocal chops. This can be heard in “Voxi” and “Essa” with clear nods to trip-hop and electronica. The EP closes with its title track, slightly bringing the pace back up and adding more glitched-out sounds to the structure left by its predecessors.

A collective effort on all fronts, “Xtilde EP” is simply Iris Ipsum at their finest. Reminiscent of early 2000s video game soundtracks, the project brings worldbuilding to life in audible form. Having studied decades of fabled electronic music, we have no doubts that they will become a household name when discussing contemporary experimental artists for years to come.

"The tracks in Concerta began to take form immediately following my first work with YUKU. I wanted to continue a similar dance-forward broken beat style while integrating sounds and textures that have inspired me over the past couple years. The music follows personal themes of concentration, creativity as a sanctuary from the harsh realities of the world, and the ebb and flow of inspiration. I am thrilled by Tom Tebby’s artwork for this release; it fits perfectly, offering a radiant response to Hesitate."
