about

Following Rashid Ajami's sensational debut on TOR with the Never Knew EP last year, we're thrilled to welcome him to XYZ alongside the always-delightful Italian duo Madraas, who've graced the likes of Tale & Tone and Futurescope in recent months. Through work with the likes of Maya Jane Coles, Booka Shade, and Atjazz, Ajami has built a sterling reputation with releases on Get Physical, Einmusika, Anjunadeep, and Tale & Tone.

For their first original collaboration, Rashid & Madraas come together on the sensational 'Love Is Animal' EP. The A-side ignites the groove, as a sub-laden bassline rises & falls under crisp drum rhythms. The melodic piano hook comes alive alongside a blissful vocal performance, with a lush build creating magical dancefloor moments.

On the flip, 'The New Word' harnesses classical flavors and somber tones, stirring us into a melancholic flow in the early stages. Vocal chops remain distant and hazy as strings and pianos balance each other, allowing synthetic stabs to swirl. A blissful B-side from the UK x Italy connection.
