His unique style evokes a sense of looking inward to find the limitless expanse within us all. As the founder of Wildlife Division, Saturna is leading a collective of daring artists focused on pushing the boundaries through sound experimentation and live curation.

Saturna has amassed an impressive collection of transcendent releases, including his critically acclaimed, Departure EP, which was released earlier this year. With a slew of new projects forthcoming on his imprint Wildlife Division as well as a slate of live shows and festivals booked throughout North America, Saturna is primed to establish himself as a force in the electronic music landscape.
