From the land of the endless summer comes Crimson Sky, a new collaboration between legendary Melbourne producers Danny Bonnici and Dizz1.

As a member of seminal Melbourne trio NuBreed, Danny Bonnici should need no introduction to any self-respecting Australian dance music connoisseur. 

As kings of the progressive breaks sound, NuBreed inspired generations of dancefloors with releases on labels like Renaissance, Ministry Of Sound, Distint’ive Breaks, Zero Tolerance and EQ Recordings, and classic remixes for the likes of The Crystal Method, Luke Chable, Way Out West and many more.

Dizz1 is Dave Norris, a turntablist, producer, drummer and teacher best known for hip-hop and downbeat electronica sounds on labels like Tru Thoughts, Muti Music, Nod Navigators, Black Acre Records and Kindred Spirits.

Together they have produced an absolute gem that we’re sure is going to get a smashing this Aussie summer, backed up by a slick deep house remix by Sydney’s Verve and a prog breaks rework by fellow NuBreed member Michael Walburgh under his new moniker OOZZ. 

Early support from Kolsch, Djuma Soundsystem, Bog, Cid Inc, Above & Beyond, Sonic Union, Steve Parry, Gia Barone, GMJ, Praveen Achary, John Johnson, Paul Hazendonk, Matter, Switchbox, Lonya, Luka Sambe, Felix Da Housecat, Schtu, Darin Epsilon, Paco Osuna, Nemone, Nii Tei, Tash and more.

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.

Luke Lawrence is the founder, co-producer and resident DJ of Melbourne-based events series, White Noise Music.

Having DJ’d for more than 10 years in clubs in and around Melbourne, Luke’s career in music began in mobile DJ’ing doing the hard yards at 21st birthdays, weddings and school formals.  Years later and it’s not only electronic music, but also promotions and the events business Luke is most passionate about.  Having partnered with Nina Paulus, the White Noise brand now brings monthly parties featuring national and international artists in clubs throughout the city.  

As a DJ, Luke has become known for showcasing the sort of emotional, harder-edged melodic house and techno also played by the likes of Fideles, ARTBAT, Solomun and Adriatique.  

In recent months, this experienced DJ has featured at festivals including Babylon, The Comfort Zone and Burning Seed.  He’s no stranger to the boards at New Guernica, Brown Alley, MyAeon and Killing Time.
