Various experiments around drum and bass and beyond. With the whole 2024 being a year of narrative/storytelling releases from me, I still find myself branch out in multiple different directions when working with the drum and bass tempos and rhythms.

"The exploration-exploitation dilemma, also known as the explore-exploit tradeoff, is a fundamental concept in decision-making that arises in many domains. It is depicted as the balancing act between two opposing strategies. Exploitation involves choosing the best option based on current knowledge of the system (which may be incomplete or misleading), while exploration involves trying out new options that may lead to better outcomes in the future at the expense of an exploitation opportunity. Finding the optimal balance between these two strategies is a crucial challenge in many decision-making problems whose goal is to maximize long-term benefits."

Track 7 is a bonus lost project, a small tribute to the CX Digital record label:

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.

Synaptic Signals: Vol. 1 - Pulse

The first transmission in a new series from Defunkt Records.

Emerging from the ether of fractured rhythms and electrified thought, Synaptic Signals is a conduit for the restless, the abstract, and the sonically unbound. A series dedicated to unraveling the pathways of sound—where chaos meets precision and structure dissolves into pure signal.

Volume 1: 𝘗𝘶𝘭𝘴𝘦 serves as a beacon for those who revel in dissonance and form alike, a prelude to the 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘈𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 gathering in Goa, India, on February 20, 2025. Within its charged circuits, four architects of auditory disarray converge:

A gateway to the experience—transmitting now.

Hitori Tori - Faulking DSP

Primal Tribes - Digital Oblivion

Modular synthesis and digital wreckage collide on 'Zaibatsu', the latest single from brokenatoms. Known for his dense, dystopian sound design and live audiovisual sets as a resident at Beton Brut, brokenatoms pushes glitched breakbeats and overloaded bass into a collapsing structure of rhythm and control. The track explores how corporate systems have reshaped creative expression into commodified content: looping, flattened, stripped of meaning. Zaibatsu is a warning signal, broadcast from within the machinery itself.
