Polari Records is thrilled to announce the release of Music for the Inside, the debut EP from emerging producer Xols marks the full circle moment of an exciting creative journey that began with Xols' contribution to a Polari compilation in 2024.

Label head Cormac reflects on discovering the project: "It's such a rush when you stumble upon a demo that immediately resonates, especially from an artist you're just getting to know. Music is truly an endless journey of discovery. I've been excited about Xols' sound since her first release on a past Polari compilation, and I've been encouraging her to craft a full EP ever since. Music for the Inside is some of the most thrilling club music I've heard this year. I'm super happy with how the EP turned out."

Xols draws inspiration from a deep well of influences. Her 2024 track That Time of the Night-produced during a period of heavy immersion in 80s music-caught Cormac's attention and sparked a creative conversation that would lead directly to this new body of work. "Cormac said he was looking forward to hearing more music from me," Xols explains. "That motivation pushed me to start working on new tracks."

The resulting EP channels the euphoria of classic italo and disco while carving out a distinctly contemporary vision. "My vision was modern club music with big inspiration from 80s italo and disco, but doing my best to avoid sounding cliché," Xols shares. "I wanted these tracks to be fun, to put a smile on people's faces, and to be something to share and enjoy together."

Inspired by Polari's catalogue a, Xols approached the studio with infectious energy. "I personally had a very good time making them," she reflects. "It was probably one of the best times making music ever, and I hope that energy translates to the dancefloor."

Music for the Inside is available digitally November 14th via Polari Records across all platforms.
