"Memory Music" is the debut EP from Danish composer and sound artist David Engelbrecht, aka Dudde, coming out in full on April 24th on katharsis. Crafted over several years through the careful gathering and processing of sonic fragments, the release captures the emotional weight and wonder of sound as memory. Each track is a small time machine, inviting listeners to drift between past and present - those moments when a single sound unlocks a flood of forgotten feelings, places, and people.

Moving seamlessly between ambient textures and sharp, high-paced drum patterns, Memory Music balances clarity and chaos with a sense of play. Breakbeats collide with nostalgic synth lines, melodic motifs shimmer alongside digital shadows, and echoes of vintage videogames flicker in and out like ghosts. It’s music that remembers and reimagines all at once - where fragments of the past become blueprints for the future.

SATNAV, the experimental electronic solo project of Sebastian Zieler, co-founder of The Big Oil Recording Company (Debbie Sings, Tettix Hexer, Aperly High), releases his debut album, every•thing•a•part, Friday 13 June 2025.

With detailed sound design, pop-inspired harmony and high-contrast sonic imagery, the album is a series of lamentations and love songs for nature. every•thing•a•part is a climate grief concept album, where thinking machines remember and mourn the loss of a world once living.

Composed with spontaneity and meticulously produced, the album mixes folk and pop melody with avant-garde electronic experimentation. SATNAV describes the process as "painting with an imaginary palette”. From the trance-inflected ecstatic longing of Sky Burial to the cumbia-nugaze of Concrete Rainbow / arco-íris de concreto, the album weaves in and out of euphoric highs and stark despair with compositions that feel like sound paintings in vivid, shifting colours. In One World, We Were Two Towers on Opposite Shores, Facing Each Other for 3,000 Years is mythic, time-collapsing storytelling (a multiversal ‘what if’), while title track every•thing•a•part is a psychonautical ode to interconnectedness. Floe Wichu, originally released on Petrola 80’s 2020 Expand compilation, is the ocean remembered, first by thinking machines that experienced it teeming with life, then by generations with no first-hand memory. It was the first track composed for the album and became its blueprint. r u alpha waving at me?? is a goodnight story for all animals, read aloud in 1’s and 0’s, while Stim Sim is about the importance of imagining better worlds: “Raise a ladder to the heavens / Smuggle mana across the REM border”. (A) Soft Round Kind (Thing) closes the album in catharsis, flickering gently like the embers of a digital ship burial.

The album is released with a 360, VR journey exploring the cycle of life and death, perception and sensory categorisation, at once violent, beautiful and serene in feeling. A collaboration with 3D animator and musician Joakim Moesgaard, set to the track Sky Burial, it is -- without hyperbole -- unlike any other VR artwork, exploring eight separate “lives” in rapid succession. It is designed for exhibition, but you can also experience it here on YouTube (use a mouse or trackpad to navigate in 360 if you don’t have a headset): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT4SkWun9JU 

SATNAV is a portmanteau of “satellite navigation”, the UK-English name for GPS systems, and refers to the God’s-eye view from above – an awesome and useless state. With works of grunge, space rock, art pop and dungeon synth that you can find if you look for it, SATNAV makes the music he would like to make right now.

SATNAV - Sky Burial (The Big Oil Recording Company)

READ > inverted-audio.com/premiere-satnav-everythingapart

Copenhagen-based The Big Oil Recording Company prepare to unveil the first full length album from label founder Sebastian Zieler, better known as SATNAV...The standout self-titled track commands attention from the first kick-drum resonating like a lost signal in a submerged room. A relentless pulse of processed percussions crash through a thick layer of distorted signals, conjuring the feeling of diving into an infinite phantasmagoria. As the track builds, it morphs into a haunted soundtrack filled with tension-heavy synthesizers and deep-rooted basslines evoking a UFO transmission etched in after-hour surrealism.

PREMIERE : SATNAV - In One World, We Were Two Towers on Opposite Shores, Facing Each Other for 3,000 Years

Ein Flimmern zwischen Welten, 
Stille, die drängt, 
Bewegung, die verharrt.

Fragile Texturen, 
Licht fällt in tiefe Schwere, 
bricht den Raum.

Nichts löst sich auf, 
alles bleibt klar verschwommen.

CxC PREMIERE: DJ Ethanol - Originate (QRUK)

James Young steps up for his first release on QRUK with the Nagasaki EP, a dark and driving UKG cut that leans into the moodier edges of Garage and Speedy G. The North Wales-based producer has already made waves with House releases on labels like Smashin Trax and Pogo House, but this new EP sees him pushing into heavier, more dancefloor-focused territory. Nagasaki is packed with chopped-up drums, eerie textures and a tough low-end that hits hard.

On remix duties is Kabo Cana, returning to the label after making a big impression with his debut I DON'T UNDERSTAND. His take on Nagasaki flips the original into a more club-ready, 90s inspired roller full of sub pressure and tight percussion. It's another strong showing from the Manchester-based producer who's quickly becoming an exciting name in the new wave of UKG.
