LIQUID STRANGER and SPACE JESUS RECRUIT HEAVYWEIGHT LINE-UP FOR 23 TRACK COMPILATION ON LIQUID STRANGER’S IMPRINT WAKAAN
“Dark, heavy, and experimental – the epitome of what the WAKAAN label hopes to curate and spread to the masses” — YOUREDM
“You never quite know what you’re in for with a WAKAAN release, but you can be sure it’ll be like nothing you’ve ever heard before” — RAVER RAFTING
Back when label boss Liquid Stranger first began his imprint WAKAAN, he had one vision and one vision only. To spread unique, electrifying, boundary-pushing bass music to the masses. Via a method of careful curation, artist discovery and an unrivalled dedication to his sound, Liquid Stranger has achieved just that – and WAKAAN just keeps on growing. Now, to further celebrate freedom of expression and experimentality within the genre, WAKAAN is releasing Convoy; a 23-track compilation of the best freeform music the scene has to offer.
By definition, ‘convoy’ refers to an ‘escort for protection’. In other words, a resourceful, armed group of likeminded individuals who travel together and uphold the same values. This is a concept that WAKAAN retains with Convoy. The compilation features a huge variety of artists who share the same vision – from the bass scene’s biggest names to its finest newcomers. Featuring tracks from Space Jesus, LUZCID, Truth, Digital Ethos, TLZMN, Champagne Drip, Yheti, Shlump, Freddy Todd, Esseks and many more, Convoy is a statement showcase of the carefully defined sound that WAKAAN has been championing from the start.
Prepare to be taken on a galactic bass journey as the Convoy touches down in its true otherworldly form, pushing WAKAAN’s ‘freeform bass music’ mantra to the next level. As fans prepare to lose themselves in Liquid Stranger and WAKAAN’s mysterious world like never before, it’s clear that the leftfield bass community won’t be going anywhere, anytime soon. Things are about to get real strange…

I can't stop listening to this album. It's so good. So many different amazing songs. Yheti can turn such small amounts of time into massive complex journeys. Signals from above grew on me over time a great deal and I think that is always a special and mysterious thing. voidhaven
