"In the making of this body of work, I found myself surrendered to the creative flow that occurred in each piece individually. As if the work at a certain point starts to delegate and I have no choice but to serve. Serving in a way of not knowing conceptually what I'm doing.
An organic asymmetric approach was the basis for the whole aesthetic exploration. A dialogue between repetition and irregularity whose sum is leading into a playful yet dark gloomy nature.

In CREATURE I investigated the relationship between technical knowledge or rather the rigid imagination of an idea to the unpredictable fluidness of creation. Every track sort of becomes a CREATURE that deeply wants to be itself and given that, it feels ultimately brutal wanting it to fit in in any way. I am the initial ignition or the person having an idea to start something new but I always end up being a tool, a trigger or a small protagonist in a world that is now something of itself.“ — Chewlie

The Unchained pilgrimage through the world of mutant bass takes us to our thirty-second release as we again celebrate the lunar calendar with our third annual compilation, the “ Year of The Tiger.” In keeping with our other various artist releases, we center around some of our core ideals - diversity, experimentation in bass, and the clubbing experience.

A collection of 12 tracks, this album represents a bit more of the rowdier end of our repertoire with off-kilter D’n’B bangers, footwork grooved club tunes, swaggering halftime, grime and a bit of dark jungle tekno for seasoning.

Alongside leading and emerging talent from the UK and Europe, we are proud to feature a solid Asian representation this year, including artists from Hong Kong, China, India and Japan.

We hope you enjoy these bass mutations in the Year of The Tiger.

Happy Chinese New Year from the Unchained Crew

The making of this album first started as a recollection of music and sound design I’ve produced over the last couple of years for events and installations—interactive and immersive AV experiences. It was like creating a specific atmosphere for visitors where I’d take them into this sensorial but artificial experience within a very confined spatial domain. This is how the “Climats” concept emerged. 

Longer ambient and generative pieces thus found their own space in my repertoire, allowing me to explore more in-depth, non-linear execution with soft, moody and padded textures. Eventually, all this freeform material became available so I could extract parts of it to build more club-centered and straightforward tracks, but nonetheless, the list grew and all this softer-edged, more introspective works were aggregating over time.

At the time of the lockdown, it felt very natural to get back to it and finalize it as a cohesive whole. It was a very healing and a smooth process to work on these. From isolation, I could open this window to thoughts where I made up my very own Science Fiction story while working on the music. I really wanted it to be a one-hour soundtrack experience that I’d listen at home or driving while my mind would travel across all those musical scapes. It was never a formalized script, but the music spoke for itself with themes of anticipation, collapse, utopia, the world as we know it, the near and far future...

Creating the album was quite a sporadic production process that stretched over several years but it all came together and made a lot of sense in the context of the title I chose : TERRAFORM. The narrative of the album simply unfolds from Dawn to Dusk, and the listener navigates through the different climates that each track embodies."

@rooomusic is the augmented projection of a London-based artist experimenting with dark electronic and pop archetypes: through intimate vocals, non-conventional songwriting and meticulous sound-design, ROOO channels social anxiety, sexuality, and over-dramatized obsessions.

"How could I be so lost in a place I know so well?
This I wonder, every day.
ROOO helps me protect, validate and affirm my existence.
I overextend through ROOO to fit a narrative dominated by augmented projections of fragmented selves; uncommonly, mine magnifies my anxieties instead of my virtues, shining a light on things that should remain unseen.

“I write to you so many words” - but never enough.
These songs feel as socially awkward as the person who wrote them.
It was all I could give from the cold abyss of my bedroom.
Two of my dearest humans helped me give them sound.
A team of female and non-binary creatives shaped their visual form.

This isolation baby was birthed as an exorcism of my ghosts; I’ve been off, disordered and ill for some time.

My moods and modes oscillate; I see myself big and then small; I dive deep in contactless limerence.
When the swing is up, everything is perfectly balanced for a second.
Only for it to go back down, over and over. Oh, not again…

And still, I wouldn’t trade that one second for anything.

I hope you loners too find solace in loneliness."

The Moon Rack Compilation Vol. 2 - TEASER - OUT 3RD FEB

STRX002: Satellite Trax presents the second release on our new sublabel - “Heartbreak EP” by Jeff Gill, best known as @norfik.

At the end of 2021, we welcomed Chicago-based Norfik onto our label with an attentive track [SERA010] that had us seeking more. Since then, the local beatmaker has extended himself to various pillars of the electronic music complex. He surely has learned to keep busy, from scoring short films and playing at local events, to showcasing his originals on household American labels such as TAR, Jollies Records, Juke Bounce Werk, and more.

Norfik tends to wear his influences on his sleeve with a high output of breakbeat-inspired tracks that celebrate his heavyweight predecessors. He is also unafraid to crank up the speed and tap into the world of jungle, drum & bass, and even breakcore. What makes his work stand out is his interest in ambient music, an external force that pushes him into a more emotive realm. The byproduct of his music genes is an authentic sound that may feel familiar to the avid dancefloor enthusiast, but genuine in its nature of being meaningful art from a real artist.

These attributes hold true to “Heartbreak EP,” a journey through lush ambiance met with rattling drum breaks. Norfik set out to make a collection of tracks that feel straightforward and transparent; what you hear is what you get. Unintended to be cohesive, the project feels woven together by raw emotion and shares the same theme throughout. With an influx of listeners crowding around the atmospheric jungle subculture, Norfik steers clear from the rest by delivering a recognizable yet unique body of work.

“Heartbreak EP” is composed of many different ideas that come together in a listenable package. The EP starts with “Greed,” a rhythmic introduction that captures listeners with rolling percussion. Tracks like “Denial” and “Into Action” do a wonderful job in displaying the contrast between thumping drums and atmospheric pads in the stereo space. The title track serves as the peak of the project, putting an emphasis on a tense buildup and rush of energy in its chorus. “Approach” concludes the EP with a track that touches on breakcore-fused antics, while staying persistent with the established ambiance.

One of the best qualities of “Heartbreak EP” is its ability to write its own story while still allowing space for interpretation. Norfik challenges his listeners to reflect on their own selves and remember what keeps them moving. Drenched in nostalgia yet holding itself to a high standard in modern production, the result is some of his best and most impactful work thus far.

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.

We Are Satellite Era. We Are Worldwide.
