Open Records is proud to announce the first of many releases in 2013 from hometown hero and label artist FunkForm, with Comes And Goes. Featuring three all-original tracks from the fast-rising Cairns producer, it’s further proof he’s one of Australia’s most exciting new names in electronic music and sets the stage for his stunning album release later this year.

FunkForm has certainly been off to a cracking start in 2013. His recent release on Vapour Recordings charted in both Tech-House and Techno in Beatport’s Top100 releases, and Fuscia featured in both D-Nox and Luir Junior’s April mixes on Soundcloud. Add to this big support from legendary names like John Digweed, Nick Warren, Dave Seaman, Kasey Taylor and Hernan Cattaneo (who featured two tracks on his Metrodance radio show), you can be sure that FunkForm is truly one to watch in 2013.

For those more familiar with the deeper side of the FunkForm sound, Comes And Goes might come as a little bit of a shock... lucky it’s a good one! Nothing short of epic, it’s still got the atmospheric and melodic touches you’ve come to expect, but turns up the drive to deliver a storming 11-minute mainfloor monster that will no doubt earn FunkForm a new legion of fans.

His music has resonated across the world’s most celebrated stages, from Fusion Festival’s Turmbühne (Germany) and Boom’s Alchemy Circle (Portugal) to Ozora’s Pumpui (Hungary) and club institutions including Sisyphos and Renate in Berlin, while remaining a consistent force within the Australian festival circuit.

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.
