4 Satin is the debut EP by Scottish post-rock group Mogwai, released in 1997 in the UK and in 1998 in the US through Chemikal Underground and Jetset respectively.

Overview

All three of the EP's tracks—"Superheroes of BMX" (recorded at MCM Studios in Hamilton, Scotland, and produced by Andy Miller), "Now You're Taken" (recorded at Chamber Studio in Edinburgh, Scotland, produced by Jamie Harley, and featuring vocals by Aidan Moffat), and "Stereodee" (also recorded at MCM Studios, but produced by Paul Savage)—later appeared on the 2000 compilation album, EP+6 . A US mispress of 4 Satin was released, where the wrong master tape was used. It features an alternative mix of "Stereodee", and otherwise-unavailable track "Guardians of Space". The track listing on the sleeve was also incorrect, although later pressings were corrected.
