New Years New Zealand 2010 -2011

I found this set while trawling through an old hard drive. 
Phat festival was New Zealand's biggest drum and bass festival which annually hosted many of the worlds top names. I was lucky to be part of  the end of an era.

Reformations of "This Moment" by One Man Orchestra & Victor Y

• Available for Pre-Order on Beatport •
• https://www.beatport.com/release/this-moment/2064754 •

Available soon on Bandcamp, Addictech, Spotify.

“This Moment” portrays the stirring benefits produced from the unbound platform for expression that is electronic music, that we as creators and listeners revel within.

“Many times I find myself, as a music producer, explaining to people the virtues of electronic music and why it is an art form. But in the end it doesn’t really matter what other people think, this is the only thing there is: you, the music and this moment.”
The vocal recorded by Ken Zo and the original track crafted by himself and Doppel, the torch was then passed to One Man Orchestra (aka Westerby) and Victor Y (aka Bass To Pain Converter) who masterfully moulded these final pieces.

Their haunting, deep and powerful recreations delve deeply through elements of progressive, techno and minimal tech house. The fleshy basslines of each track forge a life of their own; in unison with the expansive and emotive soundscapes they create undeniable odysseys.

⇸ The story of ‘Labyrinth, Lost In Techno 02’ ⇷

A rainforest sanctuary. A phenomenon neglected from every atlas.

Colours, shapes, creatures native to the sunburnt bushlands, fill the labyrinth. A truly distinctive display of vibrance. The passageway walls are penetrated by beams of light that set aglow greens and golds, purples and blue hues. Darkness occupies the leafy edge and ominous corners, shrouding the maze in thrill.

The journey takes many forms. The destination unbeknownst to those within the labyrinth, but the destination remains unimportant.

⇸ About 'Labyrinth, Lost In Techno 02' ⇷

Bassic Records’ second instalment of ‘Labyrinth, Lost In Techno’ showcases the definitive and colourful styles of Australian electronic dance music, ever growing in popularity. Influenced heavily by nature and the unique dance events that take place in the great outdoors, the sound takes form as progressive and psychedelic jaunts of techno and house, driven by emotive storytelling.

The 14 track compilation comprises of label stalwarts Doppel, Gabriel Moraes, Ark-E-Tech, Rainbird, TAYA, EEEMUS, John Baptiste, Käse Kochen, Monotreme, Victor Y, and collaborators Nanoplex (UK), Waveback (IT), Mud (IT/DE), Spintribe (RU), Diamandy (SE), Sandokan (IL), Charles Oliver, Biomass, Mecca, Samwise and Yokobus.

Sitting at an average of 125bpm, the compilation reaches a beefy 127 with ‘Spurge’ by Gabriel Moraes and is rounded off with the deep intricate closer, Mud’s ‘Mistakes’ at a neat 113bpm. Exploring an array of unique sub genres, some tracks can be identified as progressive techno, progressive house, psytech, deep techno, others are difficult to categorise into anything.

We call it ‘bush techno’.

‘Labyrinth: Lost In Techno 2’ Compiled by ZigMon - will be available at all major online stores and the Bassic Records bandcamp - July 23, 2019.

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.
