Mitch Oliver, Maaruo - Same Light EP [XYZ021]
Release Date - September 4th, 2020
Stream & Purchase - https://ampl.ink/b10eE

As we venture towards the heart of summer’s conclusion, we are ecstatic to release one of the label’s favorite projects to date.

Mitch Oliver and Maaruo represent the thriving community of dance music in Montreal; a city also home to the When We Dip team, and a pillar of the creative direction behind the way we run the labels and media platform. As many have before them, the two were regulars on dancefloors across the city before moving into the studio and harnessing their love of electronic music as creators.

Each of the producers have made important strides in the early days of their solo careers, including Mitch’s EP on Magician on Duty and Maaruo’s remix of Budakid right here on XYZ. They’ve also found a distinct knack for partnership, as is evident in their joint track Corne Mistur which was released with Akbal Music.

Same Light will surely continue to turn heads and capture ears for the two Montrealers. It has that something special, an indescribable quality found in the tunes we love the most, no matter the genre. The all-Quebecois team for Same Light includes Beyries, one of the province's most beloved singer-songwriters. Her jaw dropping vocals glide naturally over the crisp arrangement from Mitch and Maaruo, harnessing melancholic prose of somber romance. Instrumentally, percussive flair and fluttering pads carry the words in perfect harmony; A tune that will write it’s own story. 

Hernan Cattaneo needs no introduction, as he’s a masterful figure within melodic music. A massive inspiration for Maaruo and Mitch, it’s an honor to have him a part of the project as he remixes Same Light with his comrade Martin Garcia. Cattaneo and Garcia lengthen the arrangement, bringing progressive and club-driven tones to the sultry vocals. A masterpiece from the maestro for late night affairs.

Alejandro Mosso - Promenader (The Remixes) [XYZ035]
Release Date - 5.14.21
Stream - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/PromenaderRemixes

Alejandro Mosso’s ability to traverse genre lines makes him a pillar of XYZ’s artistic vision. Through the Sirocco and Promenader EPs, he’s built a foundation at the intersection of deep house, minimal techno, tribal, and melodic dance music. As we enter the blissful months of summer, we revisit Mosso’s latest project with a roster of remixers from across the electronic spectrum. 

TÂCHES needs no introduction to the XYZ faithful. He’s one of the best remixers in the game, and we think we have one of his finest ever works on hand with his take on Parlante. Harnessing the psychedelic nature of the original’s tripped out chops, he brings his own touch of  vocal delight while adding a simply irresistible groove to form the backbone of a magical tune. It has everything - danceabliity, indie instrumentalism, a boastful bassline, and signature hooks.

SDK - What They Want (The Remixes) [XYZ045]
Release Date - 11.26.21
Stream - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/WhatTheyWantRemixes

SDK launched onto the scene earlier this year with the release of their first project - What They Want. With a sumptuous blend of heady melodies and signature vocal hooks, the Vancouver-based duo’s debut on TOR rested perfectly at the centerpoint of underground and familiar. As we step into winter’s grasp, we’ve revisited the project with a revamped touch from two of the scene’s finest; we present What They Want (The Remixes).

Armen Miran is a vital pillar of the deep & melodic scene. With his distinct blend of organic folk tones atop powerful electronica, he’s the godfather of Armenian deep house. Through releases on his own imprint Hoomidas, he’s inspired so many modern producers. We enamoured to welcome him to XYZ, as he whisks What They Want in classic style. Playful house drums get us moving, while ominous synthetics envelop the groove. The vocal chops ebb too and fro throughout the arrangement, with big dancefloor moment’s a-plenty within this Armen masterclass.

Argentina’s invigorating pairing of Nacho Varela & Cruz Vittor has proven illustrious in recent times. They’ve been producing some of the most vivacious & sought-after remixes and edits on the planet, alongside original material on Anjunadeep and Shanti Moscow Radio. The duo comes through again as they twist What They Want to fit their scintillating sound. Swirling melodics stir us into the groove, as a punchy bassline ignites the vibe. A luscious build takes things to another level, offering yet another Nacho & Cruz weapon for the DJs amongst us.

Enamour & Warung - Forget Your Name (The Remixes) [XYZ047]
Release Date - 12.10.21
Stream - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/ForgetYourNameRemixes

Enamour masterfully stepped into the XYZ fold earlier this year with his debut EP - Forget Your Name. He’s a producer at the forefront of sensational soundscapes with no boundary of range: his productions infuse the dreamy melodies of deep house, the potent power of progressive house, and the smoldering momentum of dark techno.

The rising Boston-based duo Warung partnered with Enamour on the project’s A-side, and the studio understanding between the east-coast collective summoned a magical result. Forget Your Name was met with raucous applause & support across the melodic scene. We now revisit the release with a fresh perspective as the darker months come into sight, and the return of worldwide club life is in full effect. XYZ is proud to present Forget Your Name (The Remixes).

Mihai Popoviciu needs no introduction to those involved in anything minimal and melodic over the last 20 years. The Romanian maestro is considered one of the most innovative European producers of electronic music today. His catalog is immense, appearing on behemoths such as Gigolo Records and Diynamic, and his sound has inspired a generation of producers. Mihai brings an irresistible groove to Forget Your Name, elongating the flow while meticulously melting minds. The vocal cuts deep during a build brimming with dance floor deviance, offering a peak time tool for selectors.

Motip White - Long Shadow (The Remixes) [XYZ060]
Stream - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/LongShadowRemixes

Motip White continued to chart his own course on his return to XYZ with the Long Shadow EP earlier this year. The Cologne-based producer has never settled for the predictable norm, working his way through projects from all corners of the musical landscape on his eclectic journey. With releases on the likes of Innervisions & Correspondant, Motip's productions drip in analog tones & bespoke indie-punk influence.

Continuing the journey of Long Shadow, we welcome two riveting remixers to take the reins on Motip's original material.

Super Flu need no introduction, as this pair of melodic maestro's is one of the most influential acts in our modern scene. Whether as founders of the illustrious Monaberry, or through their releases with the likes of Stil Vor Talent & Disco Halal, its an honor to welcome Super Flu for their XYZ debut. They twist the title track Long Shadow into a low slung bomb, retaining Motip's jaw dropping vocal chops and the main heaving hook. Super Flu add a linear edge, shifting deep into club territory with defiant dance floor moments on offer.

On the flip, we welcome back a dear friend of the label - Montreal's Dexter Crowe. As a founding member of XYZ, we're beyond thrilled to have Crowe in the driver's seat for Motip's instant classic - Tiny House. The Halaken-head soothes a steaming bassline into a sultry and crisp burner. The Aussie punctuates the original's ominous melodies, while mobilizing momentum via metallic synth-work during an emphatic. With the OG mix already a constant tool for the likes of Dixon and  me, Dexter's remix continues to raise the bar for Tiny House.

He pays homage to the original’s understated moments, while placing weight on the groove to give the remix immense dance-ability.

Alejandro Mosso - Promenader EP [XYZ022]
Release Date - 9.25.20
Stream & Purchase - https://ampl.ink/1loYR

An Argentinian who’s musical forte has been bred in Berlin, Alejandro Mosso has been at the cutting edge of electronic music for more than 15 years. Through challenging the understanding of what dance music could be, Mosso sits at the intersection of deep house, minimal techno, tribal, and melodic dance music. 

Alejandro’s ability to traverse genre lines makes him a pillar of XYZ’s artistic vision. With releases on industry titans such as Cocoon, Third Ear, and Hivern Discs propelling his career, Mosso has recently found footing in the deep and melodic scene. His Amatista EP on Behrouz’s Do No Sit label is flush with quality, and his remixes for Esteble and Robbie Akbal further display the impressive recent output for Mosso.

As we step into Autumn, we are thrilled to welcome the return of Mosso to the XYZ imprint in the form of his Promenader EP. With January’s Sirocco project as a building block, the latest collection from Alejandro fosters his irresistible percussion work and groove-forward arrangements; immensely intelligent, easy-riding, and cohesive music coming your way.

Promenader leads the way in stunning fashion. The A-side comes as one of the label’s most anticipated tracks to date. Flying out of the gate, a warm and boastful bassline captures a retro vibe as light percussion and melodic keys round out an amazing tune. It feels like a track made in the heyday of house, with timeless character and undeniable dance-ability.

Budakid, Panthera Krause, Fluida - Diversions III EP [XYZ023]
 Release Date - 10.16.20 
Stream & Purchase - https://ampl.ink/aZROP

Reimagining art is a difficult task. Taking a fully original vision from a fellow artist and twisting it into your own work presents a set of innate challenges. How do you pay the necessary homage to the originator, while also appeasing your artistic intuition? This is a question confronted by producers when pursuing the unique nature of the music industry’s most flexible assets - the remix.

Our Diversions series explores the diverse processes and influences that manifest during the remix process. Each release presents fresh takes on the label’s original productions by both XYZ stalwarts and newcomers alike. This series is a chance to connect artists from across the musical spectrum in the pursuit of unique and unexpected tracks.

Panthera Krause is a unique figure within dance music, with a sincerely warm energy and ear for timeless grooves. Through directing one of the most forward-thinking imprints in Europe, Leipzig-bred Riotvan, Krause has fostered a sound brimming with electro, disco, and punk influences. His house-centric productions have distinct flair for peak-time character; his smash hit, Birthday Club, was easily the song of the summer in 2019. For his debut on XYZ, he’s connected with Ian O’Donovan’s Sun. Panthera’s signature driving bassline rides the classical synth touches from Ian’s original for a dancefloor killer.
