With mau5trap’s We Are Friends compilation making its yearly entrance last week, it seems as though compilation season is upon us, and we are here for it. Seemingly on the other end of the electronic spectrum, Liquid Stranger‘s inaugural SSKWAN compilation has arrived. A harmonic, downtempo collection of 21 tracks from 22 total artists, Synergy is an extremely impressive showing of talent and prestige among the SSKWAN roster.
Welcoming new acts, Dillard, Mousai, Sidecar Tommy and more to the label’s first compilation, SSKWAN displays their undeniable knack for finding fresh talent. Familiar faces from Champagne Drip to LUZCID also boasted new releases. The inaugural compilation additionally inspired a captivating single from label boss, Liquid Stranger- euphoric synth escapade, “Sunspot.”
Featured artist, Common Creation, spoke on writing specifically with the SSKWAN compilation in mind, saying:
A lot of my ideas come to mind during late night sessions when the world is quiet – I felt like I wanted to create something along that vibe for SSKWAN that fit into that sonic narrative of a chill beat with my own kind of groove to it.
