XYZ Selectors 119 - Saila

Motip White - The Infinite Edge
Release Date - 10.5.2024
xyzlabel.lnk.to/TheInfiniteEdge

Cologne’s Motip White is back on When We Dip XYZ with ‘The Infinite Edge’ EP, a two-tracker which showcases Motip’s songwriting prowess coupled with his signature raw, grimy sound.

On the title track, ‘The Infinite Edge’ the twists and turns of the bass progression make way for the celestial melodies and gritty drums. The hopeful harmony and upbeat vocals contrasts with White’s lyrics speaking of losing his mind in an ever-confusing world which keeps on moving faster and faster. 

On ‘Straight To The Sun’, the saturated combo of vocals and guitar lead the way. The raspy bassline and the triplet kicks interact with the hats and shakers invigorating the groove. White’s hummed vocals in the break lighten the mood, pulling hips and ears straight to the Springtime sun.

Motip White - The Infinite Edge (Volar Remix) 
Release Date - 13.12.2024
Stream / Buy - https://whenwedip.lnk.to/TheInfiniteEdgeVolarRemix

Motip White has been one of the most prolific producers for When We Dip XYZ in the past years and it's a pleasure to offer three fresh takes from ELIF, JAMIIE & Volar on this remix pack. 

From the jump, Volar's remix establishes itself with a bulky low-end which is joined by a straight to the point arp, hitting home by its simplicity. A rolling bass is welcomed in the break, along with the main riff and vocal parts leading into the drop. In the outro, Volar crafts a counter-melody straight from the electro era of the 2000s to top things off.
