The title track opens electro stabs, resting atop a fruitful blend of punchy kicks and rhythmic percussion. Oldschool guitar riffs enter the fold as we set off on an ever-evolving production. With energy reaching vivacious levels, he offers a pristine dancefloor moment, before firing us right back into the interplanetary groove.

Westseven & Ross Farren - Compass (The Remixes) [XYZ039]
Release Date - 7.09.21
Stream - xyzlabel.lnk.to/CompassRemixes

Westseven will forever maintain a unique role at the XYZ imprint, as he played a key role in the label’s very first release in collaboration with Budakid. The Anjunadeep regular and Soul De Amina head is no stranger to the scene, crafting a stellar reputation throughout the years via productions teeming with quality.

We were delighted to welcome him back to XYZ earlier this year with his melodic masterpiece - Compass. He teamed up with Ross Farren, harnessing blissful vocals with bountiful drums for an uplifting aura. Originally crafted in the depths of the longest winter, we now revisit Compass with renewed energy and inspiration during this time of global rejuvenation. We’ve harnessed a roster of remixers brimming with talent and inspiration, presenting a set of remixes and edits built for soaring summer nights.

Kuala Lumpur’s Reddi Rocket is one of South East Asia’s most eclectic producers, balancing indie hooks with electronic grooves for a sumptuous sound. He’s enlisted Ross Farren’s vocals as the framework for his remix, while drenching the instrumentals in laid-back guitar riffs and sun-drenched melodies. It’s the perfect closer to the EP, as we sail away into summer’s serenity.

A man of constant reinvention, Westseven himself returns to the Compass project to offer a new take on the original material. Meandering rhythms stir us into delightful daze, as the low-slung drums liaise with gorgeous piano work. Irresistibly musical, while never sacrificing groove, it’s simply a stunning tune.

Wolf Story - Woohoo - Get Physical

'From slate-grey skies and industrial scenery, a Berlin portrait captures Daniel Helmstedt in “Luv / Lee”. Majestic piano sequences sweep gently across a melodic landscape coalescing in sonic clouds that shift and transform. Rhythmic foundations criss-cross in regular patterns hewn into the mountainside in sweeping juxtaposition, while glassy synth phrasing glistens on ocean waves. Distorted patterns create a new cadence wrapped in emotive passages that cut through in bristling, sparkling formations.

A returning visitor, Haen reimagines “Lee” through a new lens where the Isle of Skye represents a magnificent sonic vision. Familiar motifs float across rocky percussive outcrops where violin passages permeate the lush verdant landscape and pulsating waves crash against the shoreline in elemental force. Meeting Molly & Mango forge a new friendship where subtle textures and reversed fragments crystalise into new sonic shards. A fluid, ever-changing scenery shimmers in melodic counterpoint and incongruent effects add a touch of intrigue. “Luv” takes a new form courtesy of Djimboh where memorable syncopation creates innovation and aural prowess. Delicate new shapes form a recognisable configuration in the path ahead and subterranean basslines emerge from the depths of the earth to steer a new route across the mountainside.'

Flatter (Remixes)

Premiere: Nōpi feat. Sarah Chilanti - Flatter (about : river Remix) [Sound Avenue]

'A strong collaborative bond sees about : river continue to ride an increasingly powerful wave of success. Through a blend of dance music credentials and organic instrumentation, the father and son partnership has been a regular on the likes of Nie Wieder Schlafen, not least in 2020's "Silver Dusk" EP. June 2021's Go Into The Mist" was a remarkable Particles debut EP with its thematic flow and remixes from Chihaka and Dandara. Now, about : river return the favour with a stunning reworking of "Ndarasika" that melds the twin skillsets of Oleg and Ervin. A striking percussive groove creates a head-shaking backdrop for Chihaka's production elements to take centre stage before a huge Moog bassline from about : river enters the fray in unexpected manner. Repeating itself throughout the second half, broken beats and familiar melodies are wrapped around new production material in an intriguing and innovative new remix.'
