Watched Stranger Things and felt compelled to finish of this 80's Soundtrack / Com Truise inspired beat I started a while back. Made some ridiculous 80s movie poster artwork for it too.

Opening Theme is the opening track (funnily enough) to a new EP I’m putting together called ‘Opening Themes’. I’ve always loved the opening title sequences of classic films, in large part due to the amazing music that drives them, and this EP is my tribute to those films and composers.

Battle Of Actium

Naik is a musician and filmmaker from Perth Western Australia.

Naik’s music has been described as a “genre-tastic swirl of everything from instrumental hiphop beats, monster movie sound effects, gypsy violins, hammond organs and spaghetti-western soundtrack guitar-licks”. Armed with an ever expanding arsenal of vintage instruments and recording equipment, Naik performs, produces and records all of his musical output, merging the organic and the electronic into futuristic compositions that draw upon psychedelic and soundtrack music from the past, as well as electronic music from the present.

Naik has been nominated for 6 WAMI awards, including best electronic producer and best electronic act, and 4 Perth Dance Music Awards including best live act and best hip-hop act.

Naik has played at festivals such as Future Music, Summadayze, Parklife, Low:Fi, Breakfest and Origin and supported the likes of Bonobo, Tricky, Ratatat, Pharoahe Monch, Gaslamp Killer, Kid Koala and Clark. Naik’s live show features Naik on buttons, effects and guitars accompanied by live drums. Naik’s live show was voted best Australian live performance of 2009 by the Members Only writers of Drum Media.

Naik released his debut album ‘In The Shadow of Thunder Mountain’ on Paper Chain in 2009. It received critical acclaim coming in at #5 in RTRFM music manager Dave Cutbush’s top 10 albums of 2009, and at #7 in the top 10 of Drum Media’s Jo Lettenmaier. Naik also released an album of collaborations and B-sides called ‘Mutating Machines’ in 2013. Naik’s second studio album is slated for release in 2014.

Naik’s background as a filmmaker also informs his music. Naik produced the 2009 WAMi award winning music video for Downsyde’s Fortune and Fame. He has also produced videos for the likes of Birds of Tokyo and Antistatic and directed videos for Eleventh He Reaches London and Diplo’s Mad Decent label for Kito & Reija Lee.
