Expansion Pack II

Somersault - Boa (Original Mix) [Open Records]

PIV / Gruuv / Pitch / META / MadTech / Rendr / Bubble

When introducing Somersault, it’s best to let the music do the talking. With chart-topping releases on respected labels like PIV, Audiojack’s Gruuv, and Ben Rau’s META, as well as remixes by legends such as Jimpster, Darius Syrossian, Kreature and Audiojack, Somersault has quickly become a rising force in the global house and UK Garage scenes. 
Heavily influenced by jazz-infused house and the shuffling rhythms of 2-Step, Somersault straddles the line between delirious highs and murky lows, with a sound that’s brought his unique sets to some of the most respected outdoor festivals and underground clubs.  In 2025, he launched his own label, Alltalk, as a dedicated home for his eclectic and evolving musical vision. 
From his early days as a session guitarist to establishing himself as a distinctive producer, Somersault has developed a groove-focused sound that is both timeless and innovative. His music has earned the support of industry heavyweights like Marco Carola, Archie Hamilton, Stacey Pullen, Prunk, Tobi Neumann, Groove Armada, John Digweed, Felix Da Housecat, Laurent Garnier, Karotte, Roger Sanchez, and Franky Rizardo, to name just a few.
Embracing a raw, stripped-back aesthetic, Somersault’s recent releases have landed on world-renowned imprints including Kerri Chandler’s MadTech, Bubble, Rendr, Rawsome Deep, Airtime, Whoyostro, Sit Down, and Innocent. His genre-blurring tracks have also found homes on Suprematic, Hidden Vibes, Stoneseed, and Open, showcasing his versatility and broad appeal.
From dimly lit clubs to sun-drenched festival floors, Somersault seizes the psyche of the party. His dynamic DJ sets have seen him perform at iconic events such as Amsterdam Dance Event and London’s 93 Feet East, while becoming a regular at festivals like Rabbits Eat Lettuce, Esoteric and Subsonic. On the club circuit, he’s brought his energy to esteemed venues such as Revolver Upstairs, S.A.S.H, Breakfast Club and Elsewhere.
Somersault’s music stays with you, its energy lasting long after the rave fades into memory.

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.
