As summer time technically ended yesterday, September 22, this album marks the top of a season, an period? However each music has these summer time vibes someplace.
Pay attention beneath and preserve scrolling for an interview with Slushii in regards to the album and the method.
Lots of artists have executed this kind of factor, releasing one monitor a month, every week, a day, for nonetheless lengthy. Do you’re feeling such as you’re studying lots with this experiment?
Yeah, I positively assume it’s been a studying expertise for positive. Often initiatives like this have a extremely overblown advertising and marketing plan and take without end to get off the bottom, therefore the minimalistic strategy and the weekly direct to streaming strategies of launch.
Because you’ve switched it up for this album, have you ever seen any distinction in fan engagement with every new launch?
I really feel like the best half is that every fan has gravitated in direction of a special music. The engagement throughout all of them has been fairly related and there’s no consensus on which one is the ‘greatest music’, which I feel is admittedly cool!
Are you able to elaborate in regards to the Slushii Summer season idea as an entire?
Principally it’s a group of songs I’ve written over the pandemic that didn’t actually have a house, and slightly than slowly trickle these data out I wished to launch them speedy hearth to provide the followers a gradual stream of music for your entire summer time!
Since signing with Dim Mak, how do you’re feeling in regards to the help you’ve gotten from the label particularly with this distinctive challenge?
It’s been nice, I feel that they’ve been in a position to actually encapsulate the imaginative and prescient I had for this challenge to the fullest for positive.
You’ve managed to launch an album practically yearly since 2016, to not point out different albums from sapientdream. How do you retain up with and handle that stage of intense productiveness?
Truthfully it’s one thing that I simply ‘do’. My thoughts is an ever flowing waterfall of music and to not write means existentialism and tedium for me. So I principally write to maintain myself busy.
As soon as the album is out, and the present tour dates are executed, you assume you’ll simply head again within the studio and pump out one other album for subsequent 12 months?
Truthfully I don’t know what’s in retailer for the way forward for Slushii. The story I’ve informed with all of you over the previous 7 years has been wonderful and is one thing I might be without end grateful for. Even when I put down the pen after this, it was wonderful to collaborate and meet my heroes, in addition to work with a few of the greatest and brightest minds within the business.
