Venturing into the depths of March, we welcome Emotional Tourist back into the XYZ fold. Since the soaring reception to his remix of DSF's Pouf, the Bucharest-bred producer has been firmly in the crosshairs as one to watch in 2021. After making waves last summer with a supreme EP on Kindisch, the Romanian released a stunning edit of Sade to claim our knod as one of the tracks of the year. We think he's making some of the best deep and melodic sounds around, and we're thrilled to showcase his immense quality with The Day the World Meets You.

The EP's namesake opens with crisp drums, before warming to lush melodies and fluttering instrumentals. Emotional Tourist connects with a label favorite - Amega - on vocal duty. She steals the spotlight with a powerful performance, balancing cutting prose with undeniable emotion. A hearty kick ensures memorable dancefloor moments a-plenty for this one.
Vinyl Affair rolls into the b-side slot, offering the grooviest production of the bunch. A revolving breakbeat frames punchy bass throbs, forming a sturdy backbone which never relents. Fluttering melodies come to play during the bridge, showcasing Emotional Tourist's mastery of the build. A tune for the two-step.
Alfama closes out the project, drawing inspiration from its predecessors. Soft vocals and a delicate string arrangement greet piano stabs, complimenting an ever-present drum rhythm. It's classic Emotional Tourist, and rounds out an EP that touches upon everything we love about the Romanian. Melodic music from a warm soul - what more could we ask for?
