Each iteration of the GWF track compilation is an important, personal milestone for me, as each time I push my limits and try to be efficient with everything I've learned so far. 

I am certainly pleased with this year's compilation, and definitely hope you'll enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

gonima - Escapism (@sunnk Remix)

SERALP01R: Satellite Era presents "Escapism Remixes" - a formidable sequel to our highly acclaimed debut album by Evan Magoni, best known as gonima.


Out now on all major platforms: https://ffm.to/seralp01r

100% of proceeds made from this release will be donated to aid the people of Palestine as they struggle through one of the most downright grotesque moments in human history. After thoughtful consideration, we have decided on allocating our earnings to the following organizations:

75% of sales will go to Health, Education, Aid, and Leadership (HEAL) Palestine - a nonprofit working to provide young Palestinians in Gaza a chance for a brighter future. For more info, visit: www.healpalestine.org

25% of sales will go to Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) - a nonprofit based in Montreal that empowers Canadians to promote justice, development, and peace in the Middle East. They are known as a credible voice in the Canadian media and government. For more info, visit: www.cjpme.org

We have also endorsed Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI) - a movement started in 2004 that calls for the academic and cultural boycott of Israel in order to exert pressure on its government. For more info, visit: www.usacbi.org

In September 2023, we proudly unveiled our first full-length album - our best collective effort as a record label to this day. "Escapism" was met with high praise from both listeners and media outlets around the world, from selling out its limited edition CDs online, to making it onto Bandcamp's front page. "With gonima's clear nod to yesteryear’s wave of ambient and electronica, the album captures the essence of what made that era so pivotal, while enhancing its sound with modern elements and a solid effort to portray a storytelling experience."

Our intention with "Escapism Remixes" was to involve some of our favorite musicians around the world to create a both sonically diverse and overall meaningful album that best expresses our label's past and present. We also wanted to emphasize the constant inspiration that Montreal’s local electronic music scene has had on gonima’s work throughout his years of living there, thus recruiting some of the city's finest for remixing duties. We called upon these talented artists and close friends to take "Escapism" and reinterpret it into the unimaginable - we could not have been more satisfied with the end result.

Throughout our development as a collective, Satellite Era has always aligned with experimental electronic music first and foremost. Over the years, we have found ourselves to reach a niche middle ground, diverging from solely in-home listening to rediscovering the dancefloor. The result can be heard throughout "Escapism Remixes" as we cater to both sides of our audio spectrum. On the more obscure side, we invited glitch.cool residents Woulg and sunnk to deliver an exhilarating journey through their coined hyperglitch subgenre. Highlighting the club-centric elements of our sound DNA, we recruited rising stars Clearcast, Outback, 11ai, and Undulae to contribute their unique renditions on gonima's melodic creations. Landing somewhere in between are Upscale alumni Thorjn, Genie Tempest, and niko scheme along with Kazuki Koga, a pioneer in the gorge subgenre - their bass-infused iterations of some of the album's most emotive tracks are standout moments. As a bonus, gonima created a drumless version of "Soft Mirror," stripping down the original song to showcase its lush ambiance.

"Escapism Remixes" closes a pivotal chapter in Satellite Era's history, revisiting our best work to date and drawing influences from around the electronic music sphere. With a cast composed of some of the most prolific artists in the current, along with legends that have inspired us long before, we are deeply grateful to share the latest offering from our sonic museum.

following some clarity from soundcloud related to their use of generative AI, i've reinstated all of my music and thought it would be nice to dig this one out of the archive and share it, i've been using it in live shows for the last couple of years and have had a few track ID requests

enjoy x

original track by @omnitonemusic

omnitone - datum (sunnk remix)

This was the last track I worked on before losing all my project files, and taking a hiatus from music.  Losing my entire life's work was a huge blow to my creative drive that has taken me a long time to come to terms with and move on from.  

It wasn't the only reason I stopped, it's been a difficult 5 years with challenges of getting a degree/starting a career, losing friends, and coming to better understand myself and the life I want to live.
It's a process I am still working through, however sharing this unmixed, but "finished" version of this song is a first step on the journey of reclaiming music as my creative expression. 

This track captured a lot of emotions, those of loss, grief, and mourning during a transitional period in my life, so it holds a special place in my heart. 

I hope anyone who listens enjoys it.
