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 - Forget Your Name [XYZ041]
Release Date - 08.06.21
Stream - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/ForgetYourName

Enamour masterfully steps into the XYZ fold as we enter the pristine heat of summer’s climax. The Washington D.C. based producer has established a sought-after sound through releases with Anjunadeep, Desert Hearts, Kindisch , and Rose Avenue. He’s a producer at the forefront of sensational soundscapes with no boundary of range: his productions infuse dreamy melodies of deep house, the potent power of progressive house, and the smoldering momentum of dark techno. We’re thrilled to capture this elusive sound with his first EP on the imprint - Forget Your Name.

Compelled propels club-laden character to new levels, utilizing punchy drum programming to maximum effect. An unrelenting bassline bursting with dubby acidic flavor never loses its flow, forming the backbone for this instant classic. The spoken word prose describes life’s greatest temptations in trippy fashion, providing essential heads-down, eyes-closed listening material on the B-side.

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

Ring the alarm - Powel is back! The All Day I Dream and Anjunadeep regular has crafted a space of his own, utilizing an amazing breadth of production class and eclectic influence. His heady grooves remain immensely dance friendly, as the melodies and percussion connect in stunning and unpredictable fashion. He’s already thoroughly beloved by XYZ aficionados, following his incredible reworks of Hosini and Esteble, and we’re thrilled to have him back for his first full length EP - The Naked Astronaut.

Peacocks & Sheep harnesses a bit of breaks and a bodacious underbelly fit for a king. Ominous tones float in and out, while keeping soulful sounds at the fore of this tune for the heads. As emotive as you need, a malleable production ready for consumption.

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.

Release Date - 2.25.22
Stream - https://xyzlabel.lnk.to/PetalDance

XYZ is thrilled to welcome a Dutch aficionado to the label family as 2022 kicks into high gear. Helsloot has made tremendous waves in the last decade working behind the scene with some of dance music’s titans, and his individual projects harness influences from progressive, deep house, disco, and techno. With remixes for the likes of Bob Moses, Flux Pavilion, and Tinlicker coming alongside original productions on Astralwerks, Poesie, and This Never Happened, Helsloot has captured the attention of global tastemakers & dancers alike. As life returns to long silenced dancefloors, Helsloot provides a punchy pairing on his debut for XYZ - the Petal Dance EP.

The A-side Petal Dance scintillates the senses, capturing an electro-laden hook teeming with timelessness. A round sub brings warmth to the track’s core, while the everpresent groove swells and soothes throughout an elongated arrangement, offering ecstatic moments a-plenty. 

Remind Me welcomes playful percussion into the fold, while the basslines kicks us into motion on this low-slung heater. Energy elevates throughout the bridge, lifting the room to a higher plane. Drenched in progressive tones, the B-side completes a 1-2 punch built for the arsenal of our finest selectors.

Motip White - Long Shadow [XYZ053]
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.
