James Cottle - Opener

OUT NOW
Beatport ▼ btprt.dj/1QxZiUv

James Cottle’s electronic music dawn came via a trip to Ibiza back in 2007, where he not unsurprisingly caught Paul van Dyk spinning the opening night of Cream, Amnesia.

FFWD 9 years and, in something of a dream come true for the Durham-based DJ and Goodgreef Resident, James has landed his debut production a release through PvD’s VANDIT Recordings.
James’ discog opener couldn’t be more title-appropriate. Tonally and stylistically, a full-court-press of a track, ‘Opener’ bears down on its break, powered by piston-like beats, tremor-ific bass and annihilating acid lines.

Laying up at the drop with hymnal vocal harmonies and echoing piano lines, it finally gates the synths up a storm and goes above-the-rim with a jaw-drop, crowd-wowing mainline.

Opening James’ discography in impressive style, ‘Opener’ is out and about today.

As one of the most cutting-edge and enduringly innovative labels of the electronic music generation, VANDIT Records stays true to its philosophy ‘No Art Without Artists’. At the start of the 2000s VANDIT made immediate waves releasing a string of now established club classics like Nu-NRG’s ‘Dreamland’, The Thrillseekers’ ‘Synaesthesia’ and Jose Amnesia’s ‘The Eternal’ to name just a few. With an artist talent pool of established names, such as Judge Jules, Alex M.O.R.P.H and founder Paul van Dyk himself as well as lots of gifted younger blood names they keep on bringing high-quality electronic music into the scene.
