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.

THANKYOU CITY - Nothin' But Chi (ORIGINAL MIX)

Fresh from releases on All Day I Dream, Lo-Fi-45 and Watergate Records, Retza returns to the Open Records fold with this stunning rework of Doppel's Melt. Currently on the tail end of his first European tour, this man can do no wrong at the moment and this slick, deep rework shows us all exactly why.

SUPPORT: Sasha, Guy J, Jamie Stevens, Nick Warren, Graziano Raffa, Silicone Soul, Edu Imbernon, Lost Desert, Cid Inc, Chicola, Eelke Kleijn, Dale Middleton, Moosefly, Gabriel Rhome, Darin Epsilon, Balcazar & Sordo, Jaap Ligthart, Madloch, Elias Tzikas, Vinayak^a, Han Haak, Argenis Brito, Alican, Lonya, Tash, Miguel Garji, Chris Fortier, Justin Massei and Andrea Ljekaj

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.
