Open Records is proud to present Archangel, the stunning new track from Australian maestro Tonelab.

Tonelab is a solo project from Melbourne producer, composer, engineer and musician Philip Rex. Best known in electronic music circles for his work with Ian Chaplin in acts like Decoy, Rex'N'Chappo and IMPS (alongside Sebastian Mullaert and Marcus Henriksson from Minilogue), Phil is also one of Australia's leading double bass players and recipient of a prestigious ARIA Award (Australia's version of the Grammy) for Best Jazz Album.

Since kicking off his solo project, Tonelab continues to excite dancefloors across the world with his trademark deep and driving fusion of progressive techno and house with releases on Traum, Wulfpack, Shadow Wulf, Evil Flow and more. Brimming with emotion, Archangel's beautiful harmonies, rising melodies and funky bass is the perfect example of the groovier side of his dynamic sound.

Returning to Open for the first time since 2017, New Zealand innovators Out Of Sorts are first up on remix duties. Delivering a slow-burning masterpiece reminiscent of their classic project Antix but dragged kicking and screaming into the modern era, this incredible rework will surely please fans of the Strom brothers young and old.

Closing the release out are Open Records label boss and AandR Jesse Kuch and Boy With Boat with another collaboration under their Boy With Kuch alias. Underpinned by a driving bassline, rolling snare fills and powerful leads, the Metatron Remix is another notch on the belt for two of Australia's most exciting new producers. Enjoy!

Archangel

PREMIERE: Tonelab - Archangel (Out Of Sorts Remix) [Open Records]

Release twenty-six on Manjumasi comes from Norweigan artist Øyvind Vie Berg, aka Arnodd. On the Bulder EP he presents three originals with beautiful sound design and impressive narrative arc. Each of these tracks tells a story, with melodic elements weaving together with dark percussion and a strong sense of atmosphere.

Title track Bulder is the darkest of the EP, with a very strong percussion laying the foundation for haunting, mysterious melodic elements and a deep, rumbling bassline. Next up is Sun, which lightens the mood, exploring brighter territory with a more optimistic, uplifting lead section. Finally, the third original Kjedelig slows things down, using a lower tempo to really emphasize the groove, with delayed hi-hats stuttering over a very hypnotic bassline that anchors the whole track.

Rounding out the EP is a wonderful remix from the Dutch producer Love Over Entropy, which defies any simple genre categorization. This down-tempo interpretation of Sun turns this piece of music into a real cinematic affair, with the bell-tone melodics of the original wrapped up in a warm blanket of continuously evolving pads and sonic details.

Happy Funktober Friends!
I hope you’ve all been enjoying the month of new tunes
it’s been quite the expedition but the end of month looms.
Diving into this adventure of sharing music each day,
Will I do this next year, it's so hard to say 
But hey! We are over half-way at least.
But I’m not going to lie, this months been a beast
Juggling this idea and my daily life
I am probably lucky that I don’t have a wife..
But determined as I am to keep you grooving although October
Has it been worthy, I’ll know when it's over!
Thank-you friends for words that keep me going,
The vibrations of love, I know they are flowing!
I do hope the music brings some smiles and cheer
And some reflection of moments that may bring a tear
If you love my music and I have helped strike a mood,
Why not click this link below and shout me some cat food.

Hi friends, Now I know that it's not October anymore, but who's to say it can't go all year right??:P .. haha sorry not going to do that to myself 😆 , but hey I really did want to share this track because it's one of the monumental ones for me!
It is actually all stemmed from the very first ableton live track I ever attempted, not the original but more of remix remade then remade again!     I've had this one for a while but haven't found a spot for it in any of my sets but I figure it's not a bad album closer either! 
I hope your loving the new music friends,  if you want to support my music, all will be available on my bandcamp soon 
until then, thanks for tuning in gang, its been a ride
and nice day to you all 🌞 xox

Nice day
