Mitch Oliver - Exil [XYZ040]
Release Date - 07.23.21
Stream - xyzlabel.lnk.to/Exil

Montreal’s Mitch Oliver is growing into a pillar of XYZ’s output. He’s caressed two of the imprint’s most emblematic tracks to date. Same Light, his Quebec-bred collaboration with Maaruo and Beyries, seized attention with a remix from the one-and-only Hernan Cattaneo. Recent appearances on Seven Villas and Kindisch continued a fruitful period for the Canadian, before the sensational Alleghanys caught the ears of XYZ faithful around the world on our 2021 edition of Blanche.

Mitch returns to XYZ during the peak of summer for his first solo EP on the label - Exil. On the title track, an understated flow eases us into the groove as percussions provide flavor in the early stages. Vocalist Tea Verdene seizes attention with a graceful performance, allowing the low-end melodies to venture forth throughout this melancholic opener.

NEW RELEASE
Kaito 
The Invisible and Irreplaceable   

1. The Invisible and Irreplaceable 06:43
2. Where the Silence Stays 06:08
3. The Invisible and Irreplaceable (beatless version) 06:43

This marks first Kaito release on my own label since the spring of 2024. 
These two tracks unfold as a meditative soundscape — an exploration of where the Kaito sound is heading, and a quiet inquiry into what it truly means to live as a human being. 
Not simply music, but a reflection: on time, on presence, and on the unseen forces that shape our inner lives.

By convention, sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, colour is colour; but in truth there are only atoms and the void. So it goes.

Our fourteenth chapter sees label co-founders Sam Pauli (@sampaulimusic) & Paul Nolan (@paul-nolan) continue their collaboration with Atoms. Witness the reaction that occurs when these two electrifying artists enter the same creative orbit. Joining them on this release are talents Miyagi (@miyagi) and Danny Oliveira (@dnyo), for a stellar body of material.

The nature of atoms lies far below our powers of observation. Since atoms cannot be seen, their movements, too, escape us. As atoms travel through the void, they swerve from their course. Were it not so, they would remain forever isolated, and never meet to form the complexity of the universe. 

Providing his own swerve on the title track is Hamburg's Miyagi (Katermukke / Einmusika / SOSO), whose Edition focuses on a powerful, bass-laden groove which transports us until the familiar harmony takes over once more.

There are only atoms and the void. So it goes. 

But hold a mirror up to the void and you will discover that it is by no means empty nothingness. It contains particles of light which flicker in and out of existence.

Beyond the atoms, there is hope...

Sam Pauli & Paul Nolan - Atoms {Miyagi Edition} *Out Now*

A little something special to kickstart your weekend! Presenting the brand new collaboration from Bellville & Fabio Montana. They pair come together for a truly impressive production on Incroyable Music (home to the likes of Jonas Saalbach, Ron Flatter, Tim Engelhardt, Kevin Over and more). 'Time Machine' is a deep, brooding cut with a distinctively progressive edge. The track builds from the get-go, riding on a chunky kick drum and a lush set of hi-hats. Filling out the spectrum are a delectable little melody, a delicate arpeggiator and a variety of intricate fx.

Underset - 'Berlin' : Hope Recordings

A clear bass is knocking at your door while synth chords drifting in. Enough space to get into the groove of Miyagi’s new EP “The Last Day“. The Hamburg based producer recently surprised the scene with his longplayer „Scene From A Dream“ and makes the next big step with tight and techy grooves now. The song is breaking up the clouds just to close them again after you’ve seen the warm lightning beams for a moment. A hopeful multi-layered and on-point arrangement. „When You Whisper“ comes with a beating drum and long lasting authentic beats.

“We have always been very fortunate to meet and know many talented producers. In recent years, we have been exploring those relationships with different remixes and collaborations, and every time something exciting came out. That’s why we started our Synchronicity project. To challenge ourselves making inspiring, fun and beautiful music.‘Synchronicity’ means "the simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection. This very well describes how our path led to the place we are now – somewhere between the club and indie scenes.” – WhoMadeWho

KOMPAKT welcomes back Copenhagen’s WhoMadeWho. Tomas Barfod’s penchant for electronic music poetically juxtaposed with Tomas Høffding and Jeppe Kjellberg’s respective backgrounds in rock and jazz, gives their music an electrifying combination of sounds, merging a variety of influences to produce a unique sonic fingerprint that is emotive, irresistible and immensely satisfying. 

Though we both have yet to strike a note together since the release of their 2012 full length “Brighter” (KOM 254), WhoMadeWho have been remarkably productive. With two full lengths, a DJ mix for Watergate’s series and releasing two of 2019’s most played out club tracks together with Rampa (Innervisions) and Artbat (Watergate Records), the trio have found themselves diving more and more into the world of electronic music, tapping into their goldmine of connections within the scene to spearhead an array of collaborations. 

Synchronicity is all about ‘meaningful coincidences’ – bringing interpretation to bear on connections that have no actual causal relationship. It’s a canny concept to pin onto Copenhagen trio WhoMadeWho’s latest album, which sees them return to Kompakt for the first time since 2012’s Brighter.

This re-established connection helps us to understand the synchronicity at play, the way that the WhoMadeWho core ave built an album around collaboration with friends and peers, much as Kompakt is all about cross-connections and family. On Synchronicity, WhoMadeWho call on friends old and new – Michael Mayer, Echonomist, Adana Twins, Alex Boman, Robag Wruhme, Frank Wiedemann, Sainte Vie, Mano Le Tough, Marc Piñol, Rebolledo, and Perel is the cast list; WhoMadeWho direct the material, shaping it into one lovingly flowing gem of dance-pop glory.

There’s something particularly generous about hearing an album as all-inclusive and open-hearted as Synchronicity in the midst of the profound social and cultural shifts we’re currently experiencing. While some songs on Synchronicity were recorded together, in real time, such as the collaborations with Adana Twins and Rebolledo, most of them have taken place via long distance, thanks to the pandemic lockdown. But you don’t need to know who was where to understand either the magnesium-flare melancholy of “Sooner”, recorded with Piñol, which has you holding your breath with the gentle thrill of the song’s lush melody, or the stomping strut of the following Adana Twins collaboration, “Shadow Of Doubt”.

Elsewhere, there’s the stentorian robot voice at the heart of “Hamstring”, where they’re joined by Michael Mayer; the lustrous headsoak of “Twenty Tears”, a tender intervention by Rebolledo; the strip-light, slow-motion disco strut of “Cecil”, produced alongside Echonomist; or the glittering, arpeggio dreamwork that Perel helps sculpt into shape on “Der Abend birgt keine Ruh.”… Really, there’s so much to celebrate here, a panoply of pleasures. From pop revelations to dancefloor delirium to slow-burning brooders, Synchronicity is just that; a space for the joys of the unexpected to collide, and to be given meaning by their coincidental co-existence in WhoMadeWho’s beautiful world.
