Open Records is proud to present Perspective, the phenomenal debut album of Australian composer, producer and DJ Will Olsen, better known as Boy With Boat.

When he's not writing his PhD thesis, working on the frontlines of the global health crisis, teaching at one of Australia's top universities, scaling epic mountain peaks or rocking mainstage crowds at the country's best festivals, you'll find this renaissance man toiling away in his Brisbane studio crafting some of the finest melodic techno, progressive house and electronica to emerge from Down Under this decade.

Beginning its creation before the world shutdown and completed as it once again began opening its doors, Perspective is the end result of three years of production output during the most turbulent period of history in human memory. Effortlessly moving from driving, riff-driven dancefloor stormers to deep, hypnotic melodics, funky progressive and lush, atmospheric ambient with stunning live cello from classical and electronic star Wilma, this 12-track masterpiece is the perfect example of the full stylistic depth of the Aussie innovator and why we believe he is the future of Open Records.

In a time when social media, singles and streaming rule, an album might seem like a relic of physical media or when listeners had longer attention spans. But with its unique and cohesive sound yet brilliant diversity that draws the listener in deeper with every listen, Perspective is captivating from start to finish and worthy of the weight of this classic concept. In our first discussions with Will about releasing a full-length body of work, we told him if you're going to do a melodic techno and house album in a sound at its absolute global peak, you've gotta do it properly. We think he got the brief. Enjoy!

Perspective was written and produced by William Olsen. Live cello on Perspective (Reflection) by Jessica Nichols. Mastering by Danny Bonnici at Liquid Mixes. Artwork by Linnea Freeman. Perspective was written and produced with financial support from Queensland Government and QMusic's stART Grant Program.

Just a musically inclined individual who speaks in the form of WAV.

I LOVE making music.
Currently I am collaborating
with Chris O'Shea (SeaShea)
As ParQushea.
 
I have been making music and playing drums since the age of 9 -from Jazz to Punk.
I have played in many bands. 
Nu Tricx in the late 70's and early 80's in Stockport and Manchester. We recorded several demo's which I helped to produce. (Some of those releases can be seen at the bottom of this Soundcloud page.)
This is where my love of producing music began.

In the mid 80's I moved to Wales and joined a Welsh Folk Rock Band.    
During the 80's I also got into DJ ing.

I moved to Australia from the UK in the late 80's, and studied at SAE in Perth, WA. 
In the late 90's I moved to Cairns, Far North Queensland and got right into the Dance Music scene, becoming DJ Orange Peel. 
I hadn't played drums for almost 20 years, and in 2013 I got back into drumming, purchasing a Roland Drum kit. 

Since then I have been producing, recording and making music in my studio. 
I formed a collaboration with my good friend Chris O'Shea in 2018. Since then we have been making music together in my studio as 'ParQushea'.

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.
