Open Records

Open Records is a forward-thinking electronic music imprint based out of the lush tropical paradise of Cairns, Australia. Since releasing our first compilation Slow-Release, Open have grown to become one of the most respected labels to emerge from the Aussie underground dance scene, with a strong following in all corners of the globe, chart success and radio airplay on some of biggest stations on the planet.
The Open Records sound is just that: open to interpretation. Through our diverse range of artists, everyone on the team has a different view on what the Open sound is, or will be, and that is what makes us special. The one thing we all share in common is a love of deep, intelligent, dancefloor-oriented electronic music, designed to rock the dusty festival or sweaty club alike.
Over the years through our CD and digital releases, we have featured the music of some of the world’s finest acts, including Antix/Fiord, Erphun, Gary Beck, Kasey Taylor, Matador, Boris Brejcha, SunControlSpecies & lots more, as well as helping to introduce a new wave of Australian talent including Interpulse, Algenon, FunkForm and Waltone.
After a smashing 2010, which included Beatport chart success across the techno, minimal and electronica genres, as well as strong support from across the globe from the international DJ elite. Through our new home at Press & Play Distribution, our music is reaching more ears than ever before and we look forward to an exciting 2011, kicking off with the release of Depth Perception, a compilation by label DJs Solatek and Paul Abad in February / March.
Open stands by the fact we put our music first, so no matter what way you get it – on CD, off Beatport or live on stage – you can guarentee it will be only the freshest sounds in electronic music, paving the way for Open’s success on the international stage. Open & out!
