Meet the Artists: Sindicate
As we continue our Disciples of Distortion Vol. 3 series, it’s time to spotlight Sindicate, a key member of the Stonx Music crew. Known for his meticulous production skills and deep understanding of sound, Sindicate has become an integral part of the label, not just as an artist but also as our in-house mastering engineer. His contributions to the label have been invaluable, and his track “Milagro,” created in collaboration with RCA, showcases his ability to blend heavy basslines with uplifting vibes.
