'Trademark melodies and effortless soundscapes flow through the fingertips of Ric Niels as he displays his true “Roots”. Verdant backdrops and rocky outcrops look over vast nature reserves as beautiful melodies glisten in the sultry atmosphere of a new “Encounter”. Shimmering motifs and arpeggiated sequences fall in rivulets across “Kinton”. Edgy synths and rolling phrases shift in symmetrical patterns against the undulating mountainside, building to a powerful summit of melody and emotion, an explosion echoes in the valley below. Beneath the forest canopy new “Roots” hold a commanding bassline force resonating with raw analogue power Towering overhead, new phrases blossom amongst the treetops in vibrant energy.

An Argentinean maestro forges a mesmerising new “Encounter” that bristles with organic energy and intense beauty. Beautifully animated melodies from Juan Deminicis create an atmosphere that conjures images of birdsong and teeming wildlife. Bristling with vitality, a path into the heart of the jungle is a trip of a lifetime. From the side of the sun, Weird Sounding Dude creates a dazzling new interpretation of “Kinton”. Seductive and exquisite, a new aural chemistry creates an alloy of precious sounds that gleam in the dark earth. Reverberated sounds echo into the distance in sonic shards of birdsong while hypnotic melodies hold sway against the quebracho blanco.'

Madloch’s Sound Avenue rounds out the month of July by welcoming Forty Cats back to the label for her debut EP. With well over a decade’s worth of DJ experience, Russian artist Christina Gavrilova aka Forty Cats has been a fixture of her country’s nightlife, sharing the stage with Jody Wisternoff, Nick Warren, Yotto, Dave Seaman and more. Christina’s production debut landed three years ago via 8bit Music, and in relatively short order the Russian artist has gone on to release projects via Lane 8’s This Never Happened, Hernan Cattaneo’s Sudbeat Music and Mango Alley. Also finding a home on Sound Avenue, Forty Cats opened the year with a remix of ‘Dreaming Home’ by Eric Lune, before going on to re-imagine Nopi’s ‘Hookan Idyll’ a few short months later. Now as we enter the year's third quarter, Forty Cats returns to Sound Avenue with her first EP project entitled ‘Forest Beast’, alongside remixes from Berni Turletti and Weird Sounding Dude. 

Providing the first remix of ‘Forest Beast’ is Berni Turletti who makes his label debut. Perhaps best known for his releases on Or Two Strangers, Higher States, Sudbeat Music and The Soundgarden, Berni Turletti brings a unique energy and perspective to progressive music. With the backing of Hernan Cattaneo and Nick Warren, the Argentinean artist has been tipped as one of the genre’s future stars. With a 2021 highlighted by projects for Droid9, Plattenbank and Mango Alley, the Cordoba resident now adds Sound Avenue to his resume with a gorgeous rendition of ‘Forest Beast’. Berni sustains an understated yet confident club energy, reshaping the groove into a funk-fuelled delight, while creamy piano’s fade in and out of coherence against a backdrop of evolving textures and enlightening vocal fragments. Looking to bring further emotion to the narrative, the main break melts down to an array of incandescent melodies, planting gentle splashes of serotonin across the one-minute interlude, before ultimately giving way to a soothing finale.

Blanche III [XYZ061]
Stream - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/BlancheIII

XYZ's signature collection returns in the form of Blanche - an annual series focused on collaborating with many of the artists who will carry the torch in 2023, and shining a refreshed light on their art in the early days of the new year.

From groovy to melodic, percussive to ethereal, Blanche represents the beginning of our explorations 2023's musical landscape. With newcomers and label favorites alike, the six track release continues to harvest XYZ's creative direction as an artist-first label, purveying talented and innovative producers with an insightful story to tell.

Leading the line is a Romanian-bred collaborative project between Bross and VICTHOR. Rich drum rhythms greet a delightful piano melody, as Piece, Peace sets us on our way with a truly beautiful offering.

The Turkish maestro Gadi Mitrani debuts on XYZ with Robot With a Heart. Synthetic tones enter the fold over a hearty hook, igniting the groove on this pearl of a production.

We revisit Erdi Irmak’s instant classic, I Can Find, with a freshly squeezed remix from Montreal’s own Oiseau de nuit & Laure. With a lifelong bond rooted in a shared love of music, this brother-sister pairing brings an after-hour tilt, opening space for rich melancholy.

As a new dawn arrives, we’re thrilled to welcome back Quebec’s Monarke to XYZ. There’s Still Time fosters a progressive sizzler, with swirling soundscapes pushing us deep into the solar system.

Canada’s Tyler Mesa returns to the imprint with a heady heater, showcasing his range and innovation in the studio. Serene Dream is all about the synthetic hook, which ebbs & flows perfectly over a masterful melody. A soon-to-be club classic from Mesa to kick off the year.

Closing out our third edition of Blanche is our beloved Brazileiro - Maty Owl - who provides an instrumental version of his recent remix for Erdi Irmak. Keep ears tuned, as we have lots more Maty Owl material coming in the near future!

Erdi Irmak Feat. Amega - I Can Find (Maty Owl Instrumental Remix) [Snippet]

Wawawu are 2 musicians from Kosice, Robert Tkac is a drummer and Martin Feriencik is a keyboard player. They always invite some singer for each track and this time they got a request to make some nice remix for the track Turn Back Time with Lina Mayer (slovak pop singer). The original track is a bit faster in 80's synth-pop style. I have decided to make more deep stuff, suitable for dancefloor and dj sets. Mostly played with vocal samples to build a nice moment when they open up and with nice breakdown infused with violins. Hope you enjoy the remix.
