After taking a break for a few months over the Aussie summer festival season, Open Records are back with vengeance in 2009 with a string of stellar releases heading your way. Kicking off the year is an EP from SQL titled the Lactose EP.

SQL is Pim van Horrsen, is a fresh artist hailing from Amsterdam producing a wicked mix of techno, minimal and house with touches of progressive thrown in for good measure.

Also part of the now defunct project progressive trance project Organix, Pim is making big impressions with his solo efforts with tracks on Echoplast, Tribal Vision, Blue Tunes, Benthic, Composure, Flow and Plusquam.

He also is getting big respect and support from top DJs and artists like Armin Van Buuren, Andy Newland, Luke Porter, Derek Howell, Ramon Tapia, Mechanique, Serge Devant, DJ Slater and heaps more.

The Lactose EP features two offerings of the title track – the laid-back tech-funk of the original, and a slightly more melancholic approach from fellow Amsterdam residents R.E.Z – another act that will be working with Open frequently this year.

Expertly mastered by Danny Bonnici (of Nubreed fame) at Liquid Mixes, Open’s first release for 2009 has already hit No.1 on the Release Promo charts and No.15 on the Progressivehouse.com/MyPromoPool Top20, making it an essential release for any fan of quality deep progressive & techno music.

Tracklist:

1. SQL Lactose (Original Mix)
2. SQL Lactose (R.E.Z. Remix)
