Berghainのレジデント、Ben KlockのFabric Mixに収録され、高い評価を得たデビューEP「Few Mysteries Solved In A Year of Contact」のリリースから1年、ベルギーのプロデューサー、SagatがVlek Recordsに4曲入りの新作12インチ「Satellite」を携えて戻ってきた。
しかし、「Few Mysteries...」が最初からダンスフロアでの評判を高め、そのドキドキするようなアシッドパルスが世界中のクラブを照らしたのに対し、「Satellite」EPは明らかに異なるアプローチを取っている。
オープニング・トラックの「Ten Steps Removed」は、遅延された満足感のマスタークラスであり、1000のプラトーを登るように、緊張を緩和することなく緩やかに高めていく。わずか2分のこの曲は、時間を限界まで引き延ばしているようで、その軽蔑的なシンセは、ガチャガチャした金属音と途切れたラジオ通信によって強調され、90年代初期のセイバーのトラックから借りてきたようなハイハットが登場するだけで、解放感を与えてくれる。
祖父の時計のようなメトロノミック・パルスと初歩的な2ステップの中間に位置するタイトル曲「Satellite」は、私たちを時空間の宙吊りから解き放ち、キック・ドラムが麻酔の蒸気が漏れるタンクのようにヒスノイズを発するシンセ・パッドの霞を突き破る。控えめでありながら複雑で、フラクタル画像のような「Satellite」は、繰り返し聴き、じっくりと観察するたびに、より詳細なディテールを聴かせてくれる。
B面に目を向けると、「Port」は、ダンスフロアに親しみやすいビートの上に、おなじみのエアリーなシンセサイザーを重ねている。グレーの濃淡で描かれた「Port」は、いつまでも色彩を放ち続けるが、サガットはトラックをタイトに保ち、彼のモノクローム・テクノ・パレットが許す限りの微妙なニュアンスを探っている。
EPの最後を飾る「Intruder」は、Sagatがサウンド・デザインと抽象化の新たな実践で締めくくる。スタッカートのマシン・ノイズとテープ・ディレイの不協和音が炸裂し、EPはエーテルへと沈んでいく。

A year on from the release of his acclaimed debut EP, ‘Few Mysteries Solved In A Year of Contact’, which found its way onto Berghain resident Ben Klock’s Fabric Mix, Belgium producer Sagat returns to Vlek Records with a new four track 12”, ‘Satellite’.
But whilst ‘Few Mysteries…’ set down its dance floor credentials from the off, its throbbing acidic pulse lighting up clubs around the world, the ‘Satellite’ EP takes a markedly different approach.
Opening track ‘Ten Steps Removed’ is a masterclass in delayed gratification, like climbing a thousand plateaus it gently ratchets up the tension without providing relief. Just 2 minutes long it seems to stretcs time to breaking point, its lambent synths underscored by clunking metallic sounds and broken up radio transmissions and just the arrival of a hi-hat, that sounds like it’s on loan from an early ‘90s Sabres track, offers some release.
Pitched somewhere between the metronomic pulse of a grandfather clock and rudimentary 2-Step, title track ‘Satellite’ frees us from chronal suspension, its kick drum breaking through the misty haze of synth pads that hiss like tanks leaking anaesthetic vapour. As understated as it is intricate, like a fractal image ‘Satellite’ rewards you with more and more detail with each repeated listen and closer inspection.
Turn to the B-side and ‘Port’ layers the by-now familiar airy synths over a more dancefloor friendly, if still remarkably austere, beat. Painting a picture with a thousand shades of grey, ‘Port’ forever threatens to explode into colour but Sagat keeps his track on a tight leash, exploring all the subtle nuances that his monochrome techno palette allows.
Closing the EP, ‘Intruder’ sees Sagat round things out with another exercise in sound design and abstraction. Discordant bursts of staccato machine noise and tape delay abound before the EP is subsumed back into the ether and we are left with just the infinite crackle of the run-out groove for company.
