Satl is a pro at his craft and only seems to be getting more advanced in his techniques with every release, drawing attention from labels like Integral and The North Quarter.

Gloom is the perfect mash-up of genres that have influenced Satl over the years, showcasing a matured sound he’s developed that is sure to inspire anyone who listens to its 13 tracks. “I think this collection represents where I am at the moment, a ‘new me’,” Satl said about the album. “I’m definitely planning to stay here for a little while, while always looking to the future.“
Give your mind a well-deserved break as the melodies of Gloom swirl in the mind.
You’re instantly relaxed as the melody of “Frozen” caresses you with its gentle sounds, creating a musical massage for your mind. Following along with the ethereal feeling, “Hard Times” washes away your stress with its liquid and gooey texture. The sounds of the clock within the track feels like a representation of the hard times evaporating with each passing second. On the other hand, “Werk It” picks up the pace that makes you want to get up and shake your booty along with the synthesizer as each swift and energetic beat presents itself. Coming in hot with some more drum and bass, “Bapao” will have you energized with its punchy basslines and upbeat drums.
You question if you’re in heaven as words like honey fall from mouth of Rhi on “Ride Or Die.” The passion and strength within her words make you yearn for a love interest as deep as the one being portrayed. “UFO” captures the attention with out-of-this-world soundwaves keeping listeners enticed with its hype burgeoning flowstate. Then, the sounds of crickets during a summer night enters your ears as “Reality Check” guides you into calmstate. Within the track there is a gentle reminder that music shouldn’t be over analyzed, its about releasing yourself and having fun. “Kamikaze” brings you back to your feet as its high energy and rumbling background textures spice up the vibe in the room. Ending the album how we started, “Falling” encapsulates listeners in a liquid drum and bass paradise, leaving you feeling like you’re one with the sunset.
