The Canadian label head returns with his latest original production, joined by a remix from Berlin-based DJ and producer Yulia Niko.
Following the release of its summer VA À Fleur de Son, Montréal-based imprint SLAPPED Records now turns the spotlight back to label founder Mitch Oliver with the release of his latest single, Let You Go. Featuring vocals from Hawaiian singer-songwriter Keilimei and a standout remix from Berlin-based producer Yulia Niko, the release brings together two distinct interpretations of a track built around emotion, groove and club functionality.
Let You Go continues the creative connection between Oliver and Keilimei, following their previous collaborations Paris Lovin’ with Tyler Mesa and Under The Moonlight in 2025. With previous releases on respected imprints including Purified Records and Anjunadeep, Keilimei brings her emotive vocal style to the record, adding warmth and depth to Oliver’s latest production. Built around a rolling low end, restrained percussion and spacious melodic details, Let You Go explores the space between melodic songwriting and club functionality. Keilimei’s vocal sits at the centre of the arrangement, bringing an emotional depth that balances the track’s understated groove.
As both a producer and the founder of SLAPPED Records, Oliver has built the label around music that favours individuality over convention, championing records that leave an impression through groove, atmosphere and careful execution. Let You Go sits naturally within that philosophy, pairing understated songwriting with a refined club sensibility.
On remix duties, and available from July 24, internationally celebrated artist Yulia Niko brings a fresh perspective to the record, transforming the original into a more up-tempo, driving interpretation. Preserving the emotional core of Keilimei’s vocal, her remix introduces sharper rhythmic movement, hypnotic melodic layers and increased dancefloor momentum, offering a more energetic counterpart to Oliver’s original.
The release follows a busy period for SLAPPED Records, which has continued to expand through a steady stream of releases and an international event series. Connecting the label’s growing roster with dancefloors across Europe and North America, the SLAPPED Summer tour concludes with a homecoming showcase and Let You Go release party at NWHR in Montréal on July 17.
