Rather than offering a snapshot into a specific scene or label, S​.​D​.​S instead features 12 eclectic tracks from 17 artists.

Placing an emphasis on vocals, the compilation includes elements of hip-hop, trap, EDM and bass music.

S​.​D​.​S follows EM Records’ release of Bird Cage: Birdfriend Archives – one of our favourite releases from March.
