„Start from yourself. From your organs, your whole body, then the social environment, streets, cities—everything your mind can understand, human-made or natural, constructive or destructive, working only for some’s benefit or aimlessly drifting—all are systems within systems.
Systems are made for their function, each important and valid while they serve change. Growth is inevitable; it’s not a system but greater than that. Its meaning cannot be understood by thought, and therefore any system, ultimately locked in its limitations, is destined to fail.
There is no system to hold on to! If you pursue this diligently enough, realizing with clear resistance that all concepts will dissolve only to mutate into the next one, you acknowledge that all systems fail.“

This EP is the fusion of poet Ulaş Ekim Toprak and electronic producer Julia Häller, aka Chewlie. Heavy on bass and poetry, this piece is a debut statement of our project. "All Systems Fail" is an elegy that illuminates the failure of all systems of separation, identity, exploitation, authority, and oppression!

STREIKTHROUGH is a collaborative sound and performance project by producer and DJ Chewlie and poet Ulaş Ekim Toprak, both based in Switzerland. Driven by a shared desire to blend bass-heavy, ethereal electronic music with thought-provoking poetry, the project transforms contemporary political phenomena into a sonic experience.

By blurring the boundaries between rhythm and atmosphere in electronica and club music, while evoking the power of spoken word, STREIKTROUGH ventures into unexplored territory, harnessing the strengths of both artistic disciplines.

End Is No End

STRX008: Satellite Trax presents “Michigan & Rosa EP” - a barrage of blistering bass weight by Joel Dunn, also known as @oktored.

Out now on all major platforms: https://ffm.to/strx008

To wrap up the first season of our Satellite Trax experiment, we have called upon a legend in the Detroit underground scene for dancefloor support. A shapeshifter in his own artistic universe, Joel Dunn has taken on many faces over the years. From embodying an electro maestro as @marshall-applewhite, to flexing his footwork proficiency as @cockybalboa, finding all his music on the internet feels like a scavenger hunt. His work has landed on renowned regional labels such as Detroit Underground and Yo Sucka, as well as overseas representation by Scuffed Recordings and Hatched. Dunn has now revived his dubstep-centric alias OktoRed to join the Satellite Era alliance and deliver our first proper release of the genre.

Known for cutting-edge production quality that disregards genres, Dunn has always balanced his forward-thinking music approach with a laidback attitude - pushing sonic boundaries while simply having fun doing so. Representing the lush underground of one of electronic music’s capitals, he has always worn Detroit on his sleeve. His latest project “Michigan & Rosa EP” is rightfully named after the intersection of a now defunct club, which served as stomping grounds for the early dubstep movement and launchpad for countless careers in the region. It pays homage to his upbringing with a collection of sludgy beats that capture the essence of that era - envision a sweaty, dimly lit room engulfed in cigarette smoke that serves alcohol after hours. The project sets the tone early with “ReSquish,” flexing heavy breaks over Reggae influences. “Raw” recruits Flirta D, one of the originators of grime and a Gorgon City collaborator more recently, to deliver a raunchy track with chopped vocals throughout. “Lit Cigarette” and “Backroom” build off the roots of dubstep, with swingy drums and a grueling low-end presence meant to be felt on a thumping sound system. “Extra Ice” reintroduces shuffling percussion that forms a proper breakbeat workout. “Vengabus” ends the EP on a playful note, covering a Vengaboys anthem as an obscure party trick and slowed DJ tool - available exclusively on Bandcamp.

“Michigan & Rosa EP” revisits an important time in Dunn’s life in sound, all while encapsulating the grittiness of urban Detroit - a realm we hold close to our hearts. He has not only left a mark in the Motor City’s underground over the years, but also a digital footprint in bass music behind the scenes. Dunn’s career continues to be an enigma, leaving much of it open-ended - a perfect end of our first Satellite Trax season. Expect more of the finest up and comers in dance music next year as we continue our journey, one audio file at a time.

Satellite Trax - an expansion of our core imprint that focuses on dance-centric music and its club roots; part of the foundation within our sonic heritage. This sublabel serves as a primary source of dancefloor weaponry for DJs and enthusiasts aiming to unveil the latest rhythms heard from around the electronic music sphere.

BALATRON - RUNWAY [FUXWITHIT PREMIERE]

"A place of reflection, remembrance, and new beginnings.
For my first LP, I wanted to express diversity across many styles and forms, and give you a sense of my various influences in music infused with my own sound.

For this Project I had the amazing privilege to collaborate with a number of artists that I hold great respect for: Monuman, Craze, Subp Yao, Survey, and Kilo. I can´t thank you all enough."

IÐAVÖLLUR
As mentioned in the Poetic Edda

The gods in Iðavöllur meet together,
Of the terrible girdler of earth they talk,
And the mighty past they call to mind,
And the ancient runes of the Ruler of Gods.
