about

XYZ is thrilled to present a new concept for a release. Producers are the backbone of a 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. Nobody fits this bill better than Hosini - the Swedish starlet has been with us since day one, presenting Flyga and the enigmatic Soul Search EP. His stunning sound has been the basis of our exploration into deep and melodic forms, setting the standard for XYZ from the get-go.

Oppo gives full creative control to the producer, who essentially functions as the label head for this premiere release. Curating sounds from artists around the world who've influenced his career thus far, as well as a production of his own, Hosini presents a project that fully represents his tastes as an artist.

Leading the EP is Hosini himself, with an instant classic. ‘Jupiter IV’ harnesses swirling electro-influenced synths to create an immense build in energy and emotion. A nod to the Swede’s ability to traverse genre boundaries with his signature blissful production style; unpredictable and transcendent music.

Powel and Erdi Irmak are no strangers to the XYZ faithful, and join the Oppo team with laid-back masterpieces. Powel’s ‘Mom’s Garden’ features delicate drums and soothing strings, while ‘Words End’ from Erdi slows things down even further with a guitar melody. Pensive tunes for wandering minds.

Esteble have built a trustful relationship with Hosini, as is evident on their collaborative Hypna EP on Do Not Sit. The Dutch duo extends Oppo with ‘Cloudbreaker’. A bassy underbelly sets the stage for an ominous affair, asserting energetic melodies.

Jones Meadow and Hosini have been musical comrades for years, connecting on several Anjunadeep releases. Stockholm’s melodic mastery comes full circle to close out the Oppo project with ‘Frost’. Electro comes back into the fold, gliding over a heady drumline and comforting pads.

The track is really beautiful. The kick and the piano form a beautiful combination. Not to mention the bass that is the cherry on top. Zethembe Mazibuko

If you're expecting Sasha's trademark progressive house/trance on his latest release, you will be sorely disappointed. Pivoting from-and deliberately not creating the status quo of electronic music-Sasha curates a lavish landscape that delves into avant-garde and "anti-dance dance music' territories with this stunning release of lush ambient soundscapes, surrealist breakbeats, subterranean techno, and laid back downtempo cuts. This is a deep, contemplative music you can dance to, sort of. DAS VILLAIN
