Motive

Open Records From the rainforests and wilderness of Far North Queensland Australia, comes a new label focusing on the deeper side of progressive music – Open Records. Inspired by the many parties and festivals in North Queensland and around Australia, the Open Records sound is deep, atmospheric, tribal progressive with a definite bass-heavy groove. Hypnotic rhythms, spacious atmospheres and tribal percussions combine with elements of both digital and organic, classic and futuristic to forge a cutting edge, fresh sound in progressive music. It is a sound that defies genre definition- fusing together elements of progressive trance, house and techno but at the same time, keepings its roots firmly planted in the outdoor trance party scene of Australia. Featuring a mixture of both established and fresh artists/DJs from both Australia and Internationally, Open Records is supported by a strong network of like-minded people across the globe. Collaborating artists include D-Sens (France), Antix (New Zealand), Sun Control Species (Australia), Brisker&Margitman (Israel), FOG (Greece), Embark (NZ/Aus) and Eegor (Australia). Additionally, Open Records will be represented by DJs Suspekt and Woodsman in Cairns (A&R/Label Management), Eegor in Sydney and Motive in Melbourne. Mastering of the new compilation Slow Release is completed at Slow Burning Studios, New Zealand by Barton Stromm, Artwork and Graphics by Jason from Modulated Monkey and distribution is supplied by TwoHands.
