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!

Open Records is proud to present TAYA’s stunning new single The Views Of Wellington with remix by fellow Australian innovator Doppel.

Written while on tour in New Zealand during a period of personal heartbreak and rebirth, The Views Of Wellington is arguably the deepest and most emotive tune to emerge from TAYA’s prolific studio yet. 

Spacious, atmospheric and punctuated by a haunting vocal, The Views Of Wellington’s lush vibes evoke the rolling hills and snow-capped peaks of the land from which it was created and is the perfect example of why the Aussie producer is a favourite of international heavyweights Rüfüs Du Sol, Gorgon City, Doorly, Stan Kolev and Matan Caspi.

Returning home to Open fresh from releases on Hoomidaas, Einmusika, Digital Structures, Stone Seed, Juicebox Music and more, Doppel turns in another floorless rework on remix duties. 

Retaining the atmospheres and melodic elements of the original, Doppel’s trademark rolling groove turns it up a notch into a sunny progressive warmer already tried and tested at Australia’s premiere festivals. Enjoy!

Hailing from Open's homebase of Brisbane, Will Olsen is one of the country's most exciting new talents with releases on labels like Recovery Collective, Ballroom, Interfonic, Mavic Music, LW Recordings and of course, Open Records.

Thick Of It is the first taste of Will's dynamic full-length effort on Open, set for release later this year.

Open Records is proud to present Perspective, the phenomenal debut album of Australian composer, producer and DJ Will Olsen, better known as Boy With Boat.

When he's not writing his PhD thesis, working on the frontlines of the global health crisis, teaching at one of Australia's top universities, scaling epic mountain peaks or rocking mainstage crowds at the country's best festivals, you'll find this renaissance man toiling away in his Brisbane studio crafting some of the finest melodic techno, progressive house and electronica to emerge from Down Under this decade.

Beginning its creation before the world shutdown and completed as it once again began opening its doors, Perspective is the end result of three years of production output during the most turbulent period of history in human memory. Effortlessly moving from driving, riff-driven dancefloor stormers to deep, hypnotic melodics, funky progressive and lush, atmospheric ambient with stunning live cello from classical and electronic star Wilma, this 12-track masterpiece is the perfect example of the full stylistic depth of the Aussie innovator and why we believe he is the future of Open Records.

In a time when social media, singles and streaming rule, an album might seem like a relic of physical media or when listeners had longer attention spans. But with its unique and cohesive sound yet brilliant diversity that draws the listener in deeper with every listen, Perspective is captivating from start to finish and worthy of the weight of this classic concept. In our first discussions with Will about releasing a full-length body of work, we told him if you're going to do a melodic techno and house album in a sound at its absolute global peak, you've gotta do it properly. We think he got the brief. Enjoy!

Perspective was written and produced by William Olsen. Live cello on Perspective (Reflection) by Jessica Nichols. Mastering by Danny Bonnici at Liquid Mixes. Artwork by Linnea Freeman. Perspective was written and produced with financial support from Queensland Government and QMusic's stART Grant Program.

Open Records is proud to present our first release for 2015, with this award-winning new EP from Melbourne masters Thankyou City.

Nothin’ But Chi is everything that makes the Australian sibling duo so great. Slick, stripped back and packed with warm bass vibes, this hypnotic tech-house groover is essential for the hot and sweaty Aussie summer season.

Without even being released to the public, the tune has been wildly successful for Thankyou City, taking out the Budweiser Made For Music People’s Choice Award at the Australian Independent Music Awards, one of Australia’s most respected music industry events.

Since the big win, the boys have featured the title track on an official Budweiser podcast on Deezer, alongside being featured by Vice’s Thump electronic music blog, the respected AU Underground Podcast and many more. They have also dropped successful EPs on D-Nox’s Sprout and Australia’s own Subsonic Music.

London innovator Inxec is up on remix duties, with a deep, evolving rework with just the right amount of acid for good measure. Perfect for club and festival alike, its darker vibe is a perfect contrast to the A-side. 

Finally, the release closes out Lovely Sunday, another stunning original from Thankyou City.

A couple of Sundays ago we again had the absolute pleasure of playing the mighty Vertex stage at Earth Frequency’s 20th Anniversary Edition at Woodfordia.

Sandwiched between Sun Control Species and Antix on one side and D-Sens on the other, it was a quintessential Earth Frequency Sunday session and a fitting celebration of two decades of Queensland’s longest-standing and best-loved festival.

It was a particularly special moment for Jesse. Not only are they three of his biggest inspirations since the earliest days of his DJ career, but they were also the first artists signed to Open Records for his debut compilation Slow-Release way back in 2007. They basically defined the early sound of the label from the beginning, and to have the chance to play alongside them again, especially at such a special occasion, was truly an honour.

After days of sweltering heat and humidity, the skies finally opened late on Sunday afternoon. It started to shower during the last parts of Antix’s dark and stormy set, and by the time we took to the stage, the rain was really coming in as the storm hit. Instead of scaring everyone off, it was a huge moment of relief for everyone on the dancefloor and the energy was electric. At one point the crowd was absolutely having it and screaming so loud you could hear them over the booth monitors and headphones! We’ve both played a lot of sets individually and together, and we both struggle to think of one where the crowd was that amped. The memory will remain etched into our minds forever.

Then disaster struck. Midway through our sixth track, Weekend Heroes’ classic Fear Factor from Open Records’ Expansion Pack compilation (one of the tunes that gave the genre “bush techno” its name), we heard a huge crackle from the back of house and the sound system went down. The crowd stuck around initially (still screaming, no doubt!) but after about 15–20 minutes had dwindled to a few wet and loyal crew as the production crew scrambled to fix the issue. Eventually they managed to sort it and get the front of house working again, and we were able to continue our set (sans booth monitors), but we decided to cut the middle section to make sure the set times stayed on schedule for the rest of the evening. The crowd didn’t take long to return and we were particularly stoked we got to play a couple of Will’s amazing new tunes that he’d finished especially for the set at the end.

We’d like to say a huge thanks to everyone from the crowd for their amazing vibes during both the beginning of our set and when the sound returned, and to everyone who stuck by us through a wet and wild afternoon. We’d also like to say a huge thanks to the EFF production crew for their hard work in a tough situation, and of course to Paul Abad for giving us the honour of playing such an amazing time slot on the Vertex at EFF’s 20th Anniversary.

This weekend, we decided to rerecord our set as it would have been, as a thank you to everyone who gave us so much amazing feedback and kind words both on the day and since. In authentic doof fashion, the set was recorded live in one take on a pair of ageing CDJ-900s with a broken cue button on the left unit. Luckily we had Will’s schmick new Limited Edition Xone-92, so at least the recording was crisp! Apart from a bit of volume normalisation, we did very little post-production, so it’s about as real and raw as if we were playing it live on the Vertex. We hope you enjoy it, and thanks again to everyone for their amazing support.

Big love,
Boy With Kuch (aka Will and Jesse)

DOPPEL - Melt (Retza's Diving Mix)

Open Records is proud to present our long-awaited return to the game with Doppel’s amazing new release Melt.

The all-Aussie affair features three of the most exciting artists to emerge from Down Under in recent years, perfectly showcasing Open Records’ mission to expose the best music from the southern hemisphere.

Hailing from Australia’s capital city Canberra, Doppel is perhaps Australia’s best kept secret - but after the release of Melt we’re sure he won’t be for long. Soaked in melodic lushness but featuring intricate percussive rhythms, twisted effects and a solid bass groove, Melt is a quintessential summer anthem and sure to be a hit throughout the sweaty Aussie festival season.

Open Records is proud to present Alkaline, the long-awaited debut from new Australian project Ord Rede.

Hailing from our spiritual home of Cairns, Ord Rede’s brand of deep, experimental techno sits perfectly within the Open sound.

A true slow burner, Alkaline’s sharp percussion, stripped groove and spacious analogue vibe are deceptively subtle, until an eventual crescendo delivers when it counts the most.

A perfect introduction to the Ord Rede sound, Alkaline is complemented by two other innovative Australian remixers in a release sure to please longtime Open fans.

Melbourne’s Lateral takes a more direct route on the first rework, with his pounding mainfloor interpretation perfect for festival sunrises and sweaty clubs alike.

Finally, Canberra’s Doppel leaves behind the lush vibes of his smash hit single Melt on Open, replacing them with twisted effects, swung percussion and a grinding, mechanical groove.

Continuing our strong tradition of supporting Australian talent, Open Records is proud to present Victor Y and Louise Millar’s Blueprint, with remixes by Doppel and Illusions Tenfold.

Victor Y is Paul Suares, a talented Sydney producer who now resides in Berlin. Also the brains behind boundary-pushing techno outfit Bass To Pain Converter, Victor Y is an outlet for a different side of Suares’ productions, from delicate chillwave right through to driving tech-house and techno.

With collaboration at the heart of the project, Blueprint sees Victor Y team up with supremely talented vocalist and songwriter Louise Millar for a deep and intoxicating journey into groove. Underpinned by an undulating bassline, relentless tribal percussion and a heavily effected flute loop, Millar’s stunning, all-original spoken word lyrics lift Blueprint to something truly unique and special.

Canberra’s Doppel returns to Open again with the first stunning rework, lifting the flute, vocals and percussive elements from the original to create one of his best works yet. Packed full of the intricate, swung rhythms, twisted effects and the originality that has made his previous releases on Open both critical and commercial successes, this slick remix is a worthy successor to his smash hit Melt.

Finally, closing the release out we’re proud to present the debut from Queensland artist Illusions Tenfold, the new solo project from Uzziah Woods from Ord Rede. Reconstructing Blueprint from the ground up into an experimental, analogue monster, Illusions Tenfold proves he is another name to watch from the hotbed of talent that is the tropical city of Cairns.

As we put the finishing touches on Expansion Pack II, our most successful release ever returns to Soundcloud in its original glory. Stay tuned for news on the release of the long-awaited follow-up, this time compiled by Jesse Kuch.

ORIGINAL PRESS RELEASE
Open Records are proud to present our long awaited third CD compilation Expansion Pack, compiled by label boss and pioneering force in the Australian underground dance music culture, Ian Woodman.

Anyone who knows the man himself, knows that Woodsman doesn’t do anything in halves. So when it came to the task of putting together his own compilation at the start of the year, one disc alone was never going to cut it.

After months in the lab, he is finally ready to give us Expansion Pack, a 2-disc collection of deep, intelligent, genre-mashing dance music, held together with Ian’s distinctly staunch, epic sound that has earned him the title of one of Australia’s favourite open-air DJs.

From international heavyweights like Matador, Erphun, Boris Brejcha, Pow-Low, Fiord, SQL, NDSA, Weekend Heroes, Perfect Stranger, Astronivo, Sheff, MUTe, Grouch and A. Balter, through to home grown Aussie favourites like SunControlSpecies, Sensient, One Tasty Morsel, Waltone, Blinky, Def Digital and Algenon, the music of Expansion Pack sits at the point where techno, progressive and minimal meet and is proof that quantity and quality can co-exist without compromise.

Representing a significant step forward for Open Records on the international stage, Expansion Pack is one of the “must buy” CD releases of 2010, for both the DJ or listener alike.

New year, new sounds, new project - ladies and gentlemen, Open Records is proud to present NightFalls, the stellar debut of Nukreative.

Nukreative is the brainchild of Danny Bonnici and Jamesen Re, two old friends from the northern suburbs of Australian electronic music capital Melbourne.

One of Australia's most talented musicians and producers, Danny Bonnici is a true wizard of his craft with a long history in both the studio and on stage, most notably with seminal Australian progressive breaks outfit NuBreed.

Jamesen Re is a DJ, producer and visionary behind the truly iconic SUNNY SIDE UP parties during the late '90s and early 2000s, known for helping put Australia's dance music culture on the global map. He is now based in LA.

Their talented combination is showcased in their debut single NightFalls, a spacious tribal affair punctuated by lush melodies, layered atmospherics and warm bass vibes.

It is complimented perfectly by a powerful yet deep progressive rework by Turkish man-of-the-moment Sezer Uysal, who makes his debut on Open fresh from releases on Suara, Deer Deer, BeatFreak Recordings and more.

Open Records is proud to present two stunning remixes of Thankyou City’s influential classic Nothin’ But Chi.

Winner of Budweiser’s Made For Music competition and one of the most streamed and downloaded tracks in Open’s catalogue, Nothin’ But Chi is one of Thankyou City‘s defining tracks and a festival favourite both in Australia and around the globe. To celebrate this seminal tune, Open Records is proud to present two stellar remixes from three in-house artists who form the label’s core management team in 2020.

After 13 years of running Open, founder Jesse Kuch finally makes his debut by joining forces with new A&R Boy with Boat with an upfront progressive cut that pays a strong homage to the original while injecting it with a bit of extra pop. Snappy percussion, fat synths and warm bass underpin this impressive rendition, but it’s the breakdowns where it truly shines with a couple of fun surprises sure to keep even the most discerning dancefloor on their toes.

Fresh from signing to international heavyweights Einmusika and ahead of his upcoming album on Open, Aussie superstar Doppel closes out the release in spectacular style with a sultry, atmospheric rework.

Open Records is a techno, house and electronica imprint based out of the sunny state of Queensland, Australia. Founded in the lush tropical paradise of Cairns in 2007 and now managed out of the bustling metropolis of Brisbane, Open has grown into a respected and prolific label with more than 70 releases from artists in all corners of the globe.

The Open sound is just that. Over the years we have released everything from deep, organic, progressive and tech house, to staunch minimal, hypnotic tribal, driving techno and abstract electronica. What has remained constant is our desire to represent the intelligent, groovy, dancefloor-oriented sound of the Australian festival and party culture, with a little help from our friends around the world, too.

Along the way we've managed to top the Beatport charts, featured in the playlists of some of the world's biggest DJs and radio shows and helped launch the career of some of Australia's most talented artists. Not bad for a crazy idea hatched in a small city in regional Australia! Big respect to everyone who has supported us on our journey, we wouldn't be where we are today without you.
