After more than a decade without releasing new music, Amsterdam DJ and producer Sandrien returns with her debut album Compass, released on her own new label, inspi. Created during a stay in Spain, where she finally found the space to create freely again, the album marks a new chapter: no genres, no expectations, just music made purely on feeling.
Compass is an album about finding your own path, personally and musically, a cycle of searching and finding, letting go and beginning again. Lead single 'Life' laid the foundation for it all. The visual world of the album is just as personal: photographs Sandrien took around her house formed the basis for its artwork and imagery.
With 27 years of experience behind her, Compass proves that mastery doesn't lead to routine, but to exploration.
This double LP includes a beautiful double-sided poster featuring two original artworks of 'Compass' by Dutch artist Pieter Jan Boterkoek.
