| ⌨️ | XiJaro & Pitch with Brittany Egbert - Echoes out on Black Hole Recordings |
Following a speed run of global tour dates over summer and early autumn, including international club sets taking them from Jakarta to their own headlining Amsterdam ADE night, frontline trance duo XiJaro & Pitch have been burning the midnight studio oil laying down their debut artist album.
To that end, the Belgian/Dutch pairing now proudly present 'Echoes' (featuring Brittany Egbert), elevating their studio craft to yet further extraordinary heights.
Serving as the eagerly anticipated lead single for the album, 'Echoes' builds directly on the creative foundation of their Chasing Dreams label, radio show/podcast, livestreams, live events and acclaimed 2023 mix-comp.
Following recent collaborations with Ashley Wallbridge and Richard Durand, LA born-and-based singer Brittany Egbert delivers a career best performance. Drawing on her characteristic expressive tonal depth, narratively her lyrics tackle that age-old question … stay or go. The crossroads where deep down one might already know the answer, while still hoping for the miracle to come.
Playing off Brittany’s song, XiJaro & Pitch’s counter the emotional wrench with a never-less-than-exhilarating, floor-primed production. With a sound design rich with detail, collectively they create an unforgettable sonic, fit for large scale festival stages or more atmospheric dancefloor purpose alike.
First contact with XiJaro & Pitch’s debut album comes via 'Echoes', and is available from today across all major streaming and sales platforms.
