about

SERA014: Satellite Era presents "Distant Arrays Volume 05" - the fifth edition of our various artist series that aims to diversify our collection of experimental dance music.

Out now on all major platforms: ffm.to/sera014

Death-Singing Flower - Rendah Mag Premiere: rendahmag.com/article/psykh-ramonpang-distant-arrays-5

Our long-awaited return to the Distant Arrays series finds us venturing back to the core idea that encapsulates our label: experimentation. This edition targets eccentric subgenres, maximalist sound design, and distinct ventures to glitched-out realms. We are thrilled to introduce an entirely new cast of producers onto our roster, each wielding an unparalleled approach to the world of leftfield electronic music.

Setting a stylistic precedent for the release, we welcome Disektor and Tenebral Cortex to our label with “Selective Exposure.” Based in Morocco and France respectively, the two Geometric Corruption artists combine their efforts to deliver a challenging track that focuses on forward-thinking sound design. Panning glitched tones travel through the spatial soundscape, while a distorted kick drum consistently drives the song’s energy. Beneath all its glitchy gloriousness lies a notable foundation inspired by both braindance and breakbeat.

Following his remix on our latest compilation “Year Two: Revisited,” Los Angeles-based artist RamonPang joins forces with Italian producer Psykh to deliver a track that closely ties their different styles together. Blending precise drum work with pleasant vocal cuts that feel like a motif, “Death-Singing Flower” is an ode to experimental music that is unafraid to be emotional. As of late, both artists have been delivering highly acclaimed projects individually: Psykh proudly represents the Millennium Strike crew, while RamonPang just released a full-length record on his Tabula Rasa imprint.

Having been on our radar since the start of the label, we welcome Montreal-based producer, visual artist, and event organizer fxbip. With formative releases on Concrete Collage, he finds sonic inspiration just about everywhere, from modern electronic to microtonal and contemporary classical music. His latest track “Hydrogen Cocktail” is a clear nod to the niche world of breakcore - frantic percussion, alerting pads, and a gabber-like bassline all align to create an authentic experience for avid followers of the subgenre.

Based in Northern California over the years, Lobie has quietly grown with the experimental bass music scene historically from that region - this is a clear influence in “Grid,” with its attentive sub and melodic synths. The track was produced and performed live without the use of a digital audio workstation, utilizing his personal arsenal of synthesizers and samplers. Implementing polyrhythmic patterns that are rotated throughout the progression, this unique track has found a proper home on the off-kilter side of our label.

Distant Arrays is an immersive showcase of our audio/visual capabilities as a collective. We are honored to introduce you to our growing team, continuously expanding our newfound interpretation of sound.

"Stationed beyond the horizon lies a cluster of autonomous satellite arrays - each serving as capsules of detained time, points of transit between diverse concepts, and the sensorial relation between tangible audio and visual worlds. They fill the thin air with varied frequencies and beam optic elements into the minds of drawn newcomers and devoted adherents alike. Though each array hosts different creators from every remote edge of this decaying planet, they communicate with us through the vigorous potential of art. They link together to create a limitless field without borders – only human connection. These are the Distant Arrays..."
