Open Records is a progressive, techno, minimal music label intended to create a base for Australian electronic music, artists & DJs on the international stage. Founded in the lush tropical paradise of Cairns in 2006- we have expanded to include representatives in the major dance centers of Australia & across the world such as Greece, Spain, France, Finland, Israel & New Zealand to name a few.
The Open Records sound is not categorized by genre-definitions or beatport catagories. It takes elements from a broad range of electronic styles, including progressive house, trance, techno, electro, tribal & minimal- winding them together with a characteristic deep rhythmic groove, spacious atmospheres, hypnotic bass-grooves & focus on intelligent, cutting-edge musicality & production.
The beginning of year saw the release of our second full-length compilation, Festivus compiled by label founders Suspekt & Woodsman. Featuring renowned artists such as Wombat (a new project from Australian master producer SunControlSpecies), RPO, Fiord (aka Antix), D-Sens and U & K (Tero Civill Remix) alongside rising stars Urban Monkeys, 2Kings in Motion, Eegor, GMJ, David Weed and Embark- Festivus was a strong return to form for Open in 2008.
Since Festivus, Open has released a series of successful digital EPs from artists like Fiord, Interpulse and GMJ. So far the tracks are receiving great feedback and are have done well in the charts Progressivehouse.com/MyPromoPool and Beatport. There are also releases in the pipeline from artists like Kasey Taylor, Wombat, Solead, Urban Monkeys, Spikers and and many more.
As well as our ever- increasing artist roster, we have a strong team of Australian DJ talent which all offer their own interpretation of the Open Records sound. This allows us to perform in a variety of applications, while still maintaining a tight label network that stretches up and down the entire East Coast of the country.
We also host a monthly club night in our hometown of Cairns at Cadence Nightclub, one of the city's premier indoor venues. So far we have hosted respected acts such as Lutzenkirchen, Dousk, Kasey Taylor and Fiord among others, establishing it as one of the biggest and most respected underground dance nights in Far North Queensland.
Open Records will continue to strive to bring the very best in electronic dance music to both Australia & the world. Our simple philosophy of “music-first” ensures every project we embark on is of the highest standard, paving the way for our strong base of talent to leave their mark on the international stage.
Open Records – forward-thinking progressive music for the festival dancefloor.
Open & Out.
