The Spotlight

Album cover for Quantum jumper by mem4. The cover looks to be a field of downscaled image artifacts, crisped up into a duotone black-and-purple nondescript image, with one sharp red square at the top right of the image, akin to a piece of tape.

OH004 / Quantum jumper by mem4

Kinetic and kaleidoscopic, yet quite minimal IDM-pop from Australia's enigmatic mem4, via Open House*. "Quantum jumper" is their debut 'chune, with an apt title for a song that feels as if you're accelerating at top-speed towards a bright, slightly-surreal future.

FFO: MinimusNoah, Fourtet, Aphex Twin, Imogen Heap, Hudmo

Album cover for Next Song Starts by MinimusNoah. Yellow and cyan tapestry patterns against a dark blue background.

OH003 / Next Song Starts by MinimusNoah

The latest number from MinimusNoah, and the project's first full-length in almost four years, Next Song Starts revels in maturation and contemplation. Noah's knack for catchy melodies meets an unconventional arrangement of seven songs. Swapping out beat-driven light electronica for sparser drumming, squelching, bubbling synthesisers, and stretched guitars, NSS is a turning point.

Album cover for Flowergrade by Garden Busker - blurry, colourful snapshot of a tennis shoe moving against the forest floor, with cut-up drawings of letters in various fonts, arranged to spell the title Flowergrade in a circle.

OH001 / Flowergrade by Garden Busker

Kicking off the Open House era, a fidgety 'aerobeat' track from label co-founder Wyatt pushes energetic, complex drum programming through an airy layer of Frou Frou and Fourtet samples. Backed by a laptop garage beat that winds up and down along lush e-piano hits, with a catchy chirp of a lead melody.
