I’m happy to present to you Evolution, the second episode of the Aurora series, which was recorded where I’ve been living for the past 10 years. Montréal has a very special place in my heart as it’s where my music career has started. It’s also where I’ve evolved from an accountant to a DJ / producer, following my true passion. This episode was recorded in that transitional hour from day to night, as a way to have continuity with the first installments. It allowed me to play a deeper and darker sound, one that has been my go-to when I first started djing, and one that stays relevant through time. I hope you’ll enjoy this homage to this city I call home.

Mitch Oliver: Aurora Series Part II - Evolution

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.

To close out the sumptuous trio from Mitch, classic 4x4 influences come to the fore to lay the foundation on Intrepid. Lucious synths swirl throughout an ominous affair built for the dancefloor, with energetic swoops creating pristine peak moments.

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.

Wildfire continues the late night vibes, with analog-tinged synth work riding alongside deep house drumwork. Piano chords ebb and flow, offering momentary respite, before the bountiful groove stirs us back into a two-step; a versatile tool for the deep melodic heads.
