Enamour masterfully steps into the XYZ fold as we enter the pristine heat of summer’s climax.

Oppo II [XYZ048]
Release Date - 1.07.22
Stream - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/OppoII

Producers are the backbone of any label; developing supportive and genuine relationships with our artists is the core principle of XYZ's development. Our Oppo series is an ode to the figures that we feel are at the foundation of the label's journey thus far.

Emotional Tourist has cemented himself as a pillar of XYZ’s artistic direction over the last two years. The Romanian first caught the ear via an rhythmically groovy remix of DSF, and last year’s The Day The World Meets You showcased the Emotional Tourist sound in its finest forms.

Oppo gives full creative control to the producer, who essentially functions as the label head on the project. Curating sounds from artists around the world who've influenced his journey thus far, as well as a pristine production of his own, Emotional Tourist presents a project that fully represents his tastes as an artist.

Emotional Tourist sets the standard on the A1 with Alchimie De L’Univers. A warm & housey bassline meets swirling percussions in the early stages, as a breakbeat carries the groove into undeniably heady territory and Ondin’s wistful vocal work brings a franco-edge to the break.

After a raucous applause for the original material, we are thrilled to revisit the project with a riveting roster of remixers. As we dive into the new year. we happily present Fall In Time (The Remixes).

Greece’s DSF is at the forefront of a surging wave of modern deep house producers, blending sounds from across the international electronic spectrum. His funk-laden Fraoula EP showcased his knack for the unexpected, and we welcome him back on remix duty as he takes on the A-side. Fall In Time harnesses the original trio’s incredible brand of vocal melodic house, as Margret’s soaring chops meet DSF’s dreamy take on the melodics on this sublime cut.

Stream - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/LongShadow

Motip White continues to chart his own course as we welcome him back to XYZ. 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. We're thrilled to mark his return to XYZ with the Long Shadow EP.

Long Shadow whisks into revolving percussive rhythms, as a signature rising synth elevates energy from the get-go. Motip's vocals cut deep into the track's backbone, as the instrumentals thin to allow space to let the prose to wander. Simply put - this is the sound of Motip White at his very best.

On the flip, sights narrow directly on the dancefloor. Tiny House harnesses a bellowing bassline that shakes the foundation, as ominous melodies & metallic synth-work mobilize momentum. A peak-time affair that showcases Motip's knack for refreshing the ear of seasoned of club heads.
