Funkform - Works in Progress - May 2015 Showcase

As a special treat to all our loyal fans, we are proud to present this free lossless download of FunkForm's awesome ChiMix of Thankyou City's Nothin' But Chi.

Follow Thankyou City here: https://soundcloud.com/thankyoucity

The Nothin' But Chi EP was one of our most successful releases in recent times, with two amazing originals by Melbourne masters Thankyou City and a stellar remix by UK innovator Inxec.

FunkForm was a little late on the deadline to getting his remix in, but that's worked out for you in the best possible way ... with an obligation-free .wav download of his wicked progressive rework.

Already smashed live and large by Open Records DJs across club, festival and radio sets, FunkForm is on fire in 2015. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

NOTHIN' BUT CHI EP INFORMATION //

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.

Cubicolor - Falling Feat. Tim Digby - Bell (Robag's Uppa Baash Remix)

Juan Deminicis is a very young and talented DJ/producer whose taste has impressed many lovers and spinners of dance music spectrum! His sets and productions are the perfectly melting of the funkiness of pure house music, mixed with the avantgardistic vibe of progressive and the energy of techno! He now lands at Sudbeats doors with a tasty 3 track Ep of goodness.
'Babel' is brooding melodic deep voyage, backed with plenty of drive and a moody vibe, whilst remaining firmly a dance floor monster. Tinkling melees cascade while effects turn them in to dreamy elements while the solid bass powers us along. 
'Ekos' is a beautiful warm dreamy slab of musical magic thats like a hazy summers day, swelteringly warm, but also oozing of coolness and sophistication. Subtlety is its key here.
Rounding things off superbly we find "Orbital'. This peak time eerie melody laden gem is full of power as its big bass paves the way, caressed with its haunting spoken word. Serious stuff!

This is the b-side to Obscurité on Noir Music.
It was originally meant to be a techno remix/version of "Obscurité" but i ended up using only the arpeggio from the breakdown of the original and i even chose to play it in a different key as i felt it sounded better for "this version".
So in short this is a totally different track and not really a remix.

THIEVES - No Gravity

♫ INTERVIEW ♫:
http://www.deephouseamsterdam.com/london/interview-premiere-rodriguez-jr-capitelle-original-mix

Rodriguez Jr., Mobilee’s master of eclecticism, has already received enough plaudits and praise to last a lifetime.

From his time as a mathematics student in his nascent rave days in the French city of Montepellier, to the itchy musical feet that would only grow as the years progressed, and his time as one-half of influential live act The Youngsters on Laurent Garnier’s FComs label, Rodriguez Jr. has always striven to push himself to the next level creatively and technically.

With each release, you can simultaneously get the sense of an exquisitely talented artists who is grafting to get the most out of himself and his machines, while being astonished at the creativity and intricate sound design of his work to create stirring dancefloor-ready compositions that sound just as good at a club or festival, as they do through a pair of headphones during a home listening session.

With that, Rodriguez Jr. is set to release his latest EP, the generous four-tracker "Petropolis". Here, we premiere the vintage Rodriguez Jr. sounding 'Capitelle'. This one's uplifting and melancholic in equal doses and is propelled by a muscular, compression-heavy bassline that builds towards a sublimely trippy crescendo.

Have a listen below, and get an idea as to Rodriguez Jr.'s production approach to "Petropolis" with our own exclusive interview with the man himself.

"Petropolis" is available 11 March on Mobilee Records

FUNKFORM - Imprinted (GMJ Remix)

A megamix remix of the Astrix hit Scientific Reality and Massive activity By Avalon and Mad Maxx.
These two tracks are legendary and were amongst the first tracks I ever bought that inspired me to become a producer. A real honor to remix them and turn them into a classic megamix!

Oh, what a meteoric rise it’s been. Supported by a number of timeless, highly-acclaimed, and devastating tracks, the mysterious cloaked duo known only as ‘Gaia’ managed to convert so many of the Trance enthusiasts to their way of thinking, their way of life, and their way of music. But although such a legacy must be cherished, that doesn’t mean one cannot strengthen it any further. 

Hand-picked by Armin van Buuren himself to be the first instant gratification of his mint ‘A State Of Trance 2016’ compilation, ‘Inyathi’ leads the charge on the rest of the global crowds in an attempt to reel them in to its side with stomping beats and soul-nourishing melodies. What started with ‘4 Elements’ and saw its fire re-lit through ‘Tuvan’ picked up pace through magical creations such as ‘Empire Of Hearts’ and ‘Carnation’, only to continue the rampage through ‘Inyathi’. Expect a true dance floor stampede whenever this one hits.

FUNKFORM - Imprinted (Matter Remix)

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.
