Second vinyl sampler from Mr. G's 'Retrospective' album.  Here's what the man himself has to say about the tracks...

Going Home - "All about me going to see my Ma and  Pa in Jamaica and the joy and happiness because I'm going home....this one has a very special place for me."

Mmmm - "The Reaver was a way to test my early stuff without anyone knowing, as many did back then and good ole  Mark @ Shady made it happen and it became as known in it's own right. wrote this on my knees wires everywhere without proper monitors, it worked though."

Hear Me Out - "One of the first records I did totally alone  and it just works me finding my feet became the blue print of what I do.......is it house or is it techno?"

THE REAVER - MMMM

Pig & Dan  | Broken Melody
[SOMA386D]
Buy it: 

1. Broken Melody
2. Something’s Going Down
3. Junglism

Pig & Dan make an energetic return to Soma with their first new material since the release of the epic 10 year anniversary album ‘Decade’ with ‘Broken Melody EP’. Dan & Igor are a powerhouse production team and these 3 groovy tech house numbers sit perfectly within the realms of the Soma output.

Broken Melody is a perfect, rhythmic opener for this EP. Spliced up vocals pop through an almost tribal bass line while bright percussion melds this track together nicely. Pig & Dan are masters of the solid tech house track and this slickly produced track is a great example of these guys at work.

A more melodic approach is brought in on ‘Something’s Going Down’. Short, delayed synth stabs float delicately while a deep vocal cut drops over the intro as the track builds slowly as the synth become more ethereal, with an almost Detroit influence. This track definitely screams, hands in the air, as the percussion finally drops after building the tension through the melody. 

Junglism rounds off the EP with its staccato rhythms and funked up drums definitely aimed directly at the dance floor. Pig & Dan once again show their mastery of production on this one as their skillful use of FX allows this track to flow perfectly. The track bounces well from growling dance floor stomper to almost trance-like euphoria with perfectly timed drops and even better use of programming. 

Pig & Dan have delivered another great EP to sit along side their already amazing catalogue of releases on Soma, always with a fresh and unique take on dance music.

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 FunkForm here: https://soundcloud.com/funkform
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.

FUNKFORM - Ride It Out (Original Mix) SC PREVIEW

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.
