OUR LATEST STUDIO EDITORAL AIMS TO CAPTURE THE SERENITY OF AUTUMN'S SLOWER PACE - AS THE DAYS BECOME SHORTER AND THE TEMPERATURES DROP, THE WORLD AROUND US SEEMS TO PAUSE AND TURN INWARDS.
SOFT SHADOWS, AND STILNESS EVOKE FEELINGS OF TRANQUILITY, A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF THE SHIFT IN ENERGY THAT OCCURS WITH THE ARRIVAL OF WINTER; A TIME TO EMBRACE A STATE OF SOLITUDE AND INTROSPECTION.
[FEATURED ITEMS]
IN OUR LATEST EDITORIAL SUBMISSION BY LONG TIME COLLABORATORS AND FRIENDS OF SATTA, ADRIAN MORRIS AND CLARA PRIVAT HAVE CREATED A COLLAGE OF VISUAL INTRIGUE, A DYNAMIC EXPLORATION OF THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN THE SEER AND THE SEEN. A VISUAL STUDY EXPLORING THE POWER OF PERCEPTION USING THE CAMERA AS A TOOL AND A BRIDGE TO EXPLORE THE NUANCE OF EXPRESSION, THE ELEGANCE OF FORM AND THE DEPTH OF THEIR CONNECTION.
SHOT IN CLARA´S HOMETOWN OF MALGRAT DE MAR, UP THE COAST FROM SATTA´S BASE IN BARCELONA, THE EDITORIAL HOLDS A MIRROR BETWEEN SATTA´S USE OF NATURAL COLOURS AND SIMPLIFIED FORMS, WEAVING IN BOTANICAL ELEMENTS AND THE PLAY OF LIGHT AND SHADOW TO CREATE AN INTIMATE PORTRAYAL OF TWO LOVERS.

For this transmission of Satta Sounds we linked up with Soulection's Hannah Faith, a young DJ hailing from London who caught our attention with her soulful selections and botanical infused photography.
This mix is a journey into Hannah Faith's mind. Fusing the sounds of cosmic jazz, afro-cuban & eclectic soul. Essential melodies for the mind to transcend into a peaceful realm.
We also touched base on Hannah's roots, how she finds balance & connection, and the sonic journeys she invites her listeners to voyage on.
HF: I am rooted to Nigeria and St Lucia, connected to the life source of the sun. My father is Nigerian & British and my mother is from St Lucia
HF: There were a few complications with my mother which led to her not being able to look after myself and my elder siblings at a young age, therefor it was my father alongside my aunties who brought me up. My father spent most of his childhood in Ibadan from the age of 5 through to the age of 16 where he came back to London, I could imagine it was quite a confusing time for himself, having to adapt rapidly to the change in the environment.
What connected me most to my roots was the food, the way in which we receive food, so much loves goes into preparing a nigerian dish, the spices, the texture, the smell, the patience, it’s an art in itself. Food is always the main basis of connection amongst us, that and music although my fathers collection was less afrobeats + more reggae, soul and funk records. I last visited Nigeria in 2011, I’m still yet to visit my mothers family in St Lucia I feel there is much for me to learn and taking that step to visit the island will unveil a lot more about myself, a dream of mine would be to take my mother back to St Lucia, she hasn’t been back since she was 4 years old.
HF: My health, my wellbeing + my state of mind. To be healthy is to be spiritually inclined with self, I work hard on this everyday, when I’m feeling in good health, in good spirits, then it become easier for me to transcend my good energy onto others around me.
Whats important for me is working on making this world a better place, a healthier place, a joyous place, there are a lot of people mentally suffering due to the conditioned state of mind, a lot of people struggling to connect with their divine selves, whats important for me is to do the best I can to spread light to whomever I can. We’re all capable of doing this to one another, we have higher abilities to reach beyond the 3rd dimension.
I’ve been focusing my time on studying, meditating, and working on my own brand Delika, which is my reflection of re connecting and finding balance within ourselves, from handpicked goods I’ve sourced throughout my travels to photography and visual documentation. I’m looking forward to sharing my sense of enrichment to my community.
