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 Tinlinker coming alongside original productions on Armada, Poesie, and This Never Happened, Helsloot has captured the attention of global tastemakers and 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.
