SERA018: Satellite Era presents “A Mosaic Of Time EP” - the debut release of our longtime friend Kirk Young, best known as Futurist.

Out now on all major platforms: ffm.to/sera018

"Bearer Of The Curse" premiered by Rendah Mag: rendahmag.com/article/futurist-bearer-of-the-curse

Prior to the conception of Satellite Era, our relationship with East Coast producer, sound designer, and teacher Futurist had already formed into a meaningful one. Rising in tandem through the niche spaces of early SoundCloud-driven subgenres, both our directions have seen many shifts in their overall intention. We watched closely as his project matured into what he now feels is a genuine representation of his personal aspirations, widely similar to ours.

Reaching this state of confidence as an artist not only takes immense motivation, but also consistent patience and acceptance along the way. With that being said, we are extremely proud to unveil the debut EP of Futurist, a project in development for nearly three years now. “A Mosaic Of Time EP” is a collection of various productions highlighting different eras of inspiration, from his earlier days making experimental bass music, to a newfound obsession with club antics meant to shake dancefloors. Each of the tracks, though individual at their core, feel like a sound collage brought together by his fascination with textures and timbres. His love for building ambiance generally found in film scoring, along with sampling his favorite movies and video games, play a vital role in solidifying its cohesiveness.

Sampling has always been integral to Futurist’s work. This is no different in “A Mosaic Of Time EP” as he sets the mood with its title track, which utilizes his own field recording of a lush forest to welcome the listener to the start of this story. Avid listeners of his older music may feel somewhat surprised initially, as the intro reveals itself to be a thumping house-centric song filled with emotive tones throughout. “Bearer Of The Curse” is an ode to rustic electronica, flexing his modular synth setup by occupying the soundscape with glitchy patches and clever progression. “Push Red” recruits our very own Test Bench as support on this playful techno track, using vocal chops and a rowdy low-end to create a memorable groove. Fans of a younger Futurist will surely be thrilled to hear “Madness” and “The Well,” as both dubstep songs include grueling basslines and head-nodding drums. The EP closes out with “Lapis,” a very special composition written to celebrate all the love and warm nostalgia surrounding his life - a fitting outro to the new beginning of his sonic journey.

“A Mosaic Of Time EP” is a painting meant to portray the growth of a starving artist, without abandoning or undermining their past. Each of Futurist’s established influences over the years are layered upon each other, bleeding over one another to showcase some of his best work yet and an unforgettable debut.

Samples used in each track:
1. A Mosaic Of Time - Meeting Andrei Tarkovsky (film, 2008)
2. Bearer Of The Curse - Dark Souls 2 (video game, 2013)
3. Push Red (feat. Test Bench) - Frank Herbert (interview, 1976)

Futurist - Bearer Of The Curse [Rendah Mag Premiere]

STRX004: Satellite Trax presents “DMSAT EP” - a collection of dancefloor weaponry from renowned Serbian and Montenegrin crew @traka-studio.

1. 47000
2. A (feat. @praktikaltingz)
3. Rolando
4. Jungle Machete Fever
5. XE

For the fourth presentation of club-centric sonics through our young sublabel, we set out in search of a new addition to our roster that would surely raise the bar. The timing aligned perfectly with our introduction to TRAKA, a team consisting of three producers and a visual artist. Brought together by Belgrade’s niche underground music and graffiti scenes, their story resonated with ours - a group of friends seeking expression through multiple mediums, surrounded by the chaos of urbanism.

Although relatively new to our ecosystem, TRAKA have been making heavy waves in a short span of time. Within the last three years, they collaborated with heavyweight vocalists like Killa P and Warrior Queen, were remixed by the legendary Commodo, and had songs appear on various radio shows and DJ sets across the globe. Their A/V projects on accomplished label Yuku have established their sound, lying comfortably between modern bass elements and foundational club music. They are unafraid to push a sense of aggression on the floor, while still honing pristine production tactics to create a unique yet recognizable style. This can be heard throughout “DMSAT EP” - a showcase of their standard formula devoted to be more club-accessible.

“DMSAT EP” not only pushes TRAKA to excel in the club music sphere, but also welcomes both familiar and fresh ideas to our imprint. Utilizing hardware to achieve a sense of analog grittiness is something we have advocated throughout our catalog. The newer concepts come with the slower tempo in “47000” and “XE,” which bring forth a heavy, almost experimental hip-hop factor to the equation. Their basslines are punishing, while the vocal sampling blends perfectly with sluggish yet rowdy percussion. “A” serves as a summary of the overall feel to the EP, recruiting another Belgrade-based up-and-comer Praktikal for support. “Rolando” is an ode to the flagship Roland TR drum machines used throughout the project. Its drum work is playful, yet ends up contributing to the peak in energy. “Jungle Machete Fever” builds on this with high-octane breakbeats and rattling bass, a track that has already seen playtime on dancefloors around the world.

Purely influenced by the movement of urban environments, TRAKA have cemented their sonic capabilities with a compelling collection of club-ready tracks. Through a newfound burst of inspiration through the medium of dance, they are swiftly becoming a force to reckon with. Their affirming rise to the spotlight is both exciting and well-deserved, one that we felt would fit well with our label’s mission.

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. 

Written & produced by Nemanja Maksimovic, Vuk-Luka Ukropina, & Vukan Kuzman

PRE-ORDER

TRAKA - DMSAT EP (Audio Preview)

13 Rabbit is a sonic offering rooted in ancient cycles and imagined futures — where ceremonial rhythm meets electronic texture, and memory becomes movement.

Composed by Xica Sonica (Iris Rodriguez & Ce Acatl Borsegui), this album carries the energy of transformation, resilience, and rebirth. Inspired by the Mesoamerican calendar and the symbol of the rabbit — a carrier of lunar time — these tracks blend percussion, ambient atmospheres, cumbia, and pulse-driven ritual into a sound that is speaking from memory, dreaming forward.

This is not ambient music for rest. It is Indigenous futurism in sound — kinetic, cinematic, and encoded with motion.

For use in:

-Dance ritual & intuitive movement
-Dreamwork & creative trance
- Ancestral re-encoding & timeline repair
- Activations, ceremonies, and visionary focus

This is music for those walking between timelines — reclaiming the ancient while composing what’s to come.

TRACK DESCRIPTIONS:

TRACK 1: Iris – Starlight wrapped in flesh 	
A percussive recalibration. Integrative, reflective, and steady through the light of the moon with the guidance of the cosmos.

TRACK 2: Ojo De Águila – Precision Vision	
Created for clarity and spiritual targeting. A focused track for breathwork, intention, and direction.

TRACK 3: Retrograde (Time Reversal Sequence)	A track designed to move backward through memory — not for escape, but for correction. Cyclical, coded, and disruptive in motion. For those unspooling timelines and reclaiming what was altered.

TRACK 4: Cuetzpalin – Activate and Advance	
Quick-step rhythm built for wake-up, response, and recalibration. Moves fast. Stays grounded.

TRACK 5: Water – Flow State Reset	
A soundstream of motion and release.

TRACK 6: Suelta – Break the Pattern	
A release coded in rhythm. This track is built for shedding — habits, timelines, illusions. Movement-based and unrelenting, Suelta is a sonic act of freedom.

TRACK 7: Caxcan – Lineage in Motion	
Soft percussive electronic rhythm carried from deep memory. Bold, embodied, and insistent on return.

TRACK 8: Fuego Rítmico – Rhythmic Fire	
A high-energy track built for body release and kinetic memory. Percussive, hypnotic, and made to be moved to.

TRACK 9: Xumbiax – Borderbeat Mutation	
A cumbia reimagined through glitch, ritual, and rhythmic rebellion. This track dances with lineage while breaking its frame — a pulse for crossing, shaking loose, and remembering the body as archive.

TRACK 10: Wonder – Signal Through the Veil	
Electric textures ripple through stillness. A track for unlocking critical reflection, remembrance, and ancestral visioning.

TRACK 11: El Nagual – Code of the Shapeshifter	
A track of transformation and hidden force. Built for transitions, energy shifts, and accessing the unseen.

TRACK 12: Alter Ego – Mask of Power	
This is the sound of the other self — the one who steps forward when called. Bold, percussive, and cinematic, Alter Ego is a frequency for shapeshifting, code-switching, and ceremonious rebellion.

TRACK 13: Tlacomolli – Sonic Offering	
An invocation featuring layered rhythm and earth-based sounds crafted for deep thinking and energetic exchange.
