Open Records is proud to present The Forest, a stellar new single from Melbourne artist Liam Sieker with remixes by fellow Aussie wizard Doppel and Indian innovator Weird Sounding Dude.

After making his Open debut in collaboration with John Baptiste on our hit compilation Expansion Pack II, we are proud to welcome Liam Sieker back to the label for his first solo EP, this time featuring vocals by Alice Campbell.

A feature of his dynamic live set for some time, The Forest’s deep, organic and analogue sonics invoke vibes of misty sunrises and dusty sunset dancefloors in the Australian bush.

The Forest

PREMIERE: Liam Sieker - The Forest Feat. Alice Campbell (Original Mix) [Open Records]

Oortek’s (Ex. DAS BOOT) focus lies on the exploration of progressive, dark minimal and driving techno, and its synthesis with ethereal melodic elements and alien, otherworldly sounding psychedelika. Driven by curiosity and a fascination with the unknown, she seeks to fully embrace the creative process and delivers intelligently crafted sets that draw the audience in. Through the transmission of enticing auditory landscapes interspersed with unorthodox twists and turns, her DJ sets serve as an antidote to the stale and ordinary.

Oortek grew up in the inner city environments of Western Germany, where her fascination with house and techno sounds first developed. After moving to Australia in 2013, she quickly discovered the underground music scene and refined her interest through continuous engagement with the community.  Oortek performed her DJ debut in July 2023, and has since played at a number of events held by Brisbane based organisers including Diffuszed Studios, Misheen Productions and Wizards of Kingston.

House, Techno, Psytrance and the dancefloor have always taken me to my happy place. In 2020 I decided it was time to jump behind the decks myself and embark on my journey as a DJ.

Since then, I have had the opportunity to play club gigs around Melbourne and support many talented local and international DJ’s and producers.

When it comes to djing, Techno with a touch of psychedelic is my true calling.

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.

JAKE FOSTER is an emerging DJ from Australia whose passion for music is the definition of his entire identity. His sound can be defined as a core love for HardTrance, blended with Acid and HardDance influences.

As a new-generation techno artist, he aims to prove himself worthy of deserving a place in the scene. Jake draws inspiration from artists such as Trym, 1luu, trillosta, I Hate Models, Arman John, Mark Sherry, Scot Project, David Strasser, CRAAIG, Denis Dekay, Nico Moreno, and 999999999; most of whom originate from France & Belgium.

As a 90’s child Jake has always been fascinated by the prior to early 2000s euro trance period. Juxtaposingly, as an acid head he feels driven by the harsh squelching synthesizer sounds of the 303. Recently living abroad has allowed him to define his direction as an artist, and as a consequence of his travels, he often tries to draw sources from hardcore, gabber, trance, groove, and early rave music.

Behind the decks, Jake’s DJ style can be characterized as a fast-paced, emotional, all-out war between himself and the console, transitioning between memorable melodic phrases, uncompromised 303 synths, and harder-edged 4/4 kicks.

BLUE Pill or RED Pill? Get ready for a heart-stopping ride because dancing with Jake Foster ensures a trance state of hypnotism and heightened consciousness that will have you questioning the boundaries of your reality.

Remember the name. JF
