Some labels don’t need much time to show they have an interesting musical aesthetic and a high level of curation — OPID Records is one of those cases. Officially founded in March of this year, the label has been establishing itself in the scene with a commitment to quality and originality, aiming to explore the nuances and essence of House Music, leaning towards a deeper, organic, and melodic side of the genre.
Led by Oliver Schernhuber, OPID seeks to create a space for diversity and innovation, supporting its artists every step of their creative journey. Just this year, the label plans to deliver 18 releases from 11 different artists, demonstrating a commitment to maintaining a consistent catalog and fostering a community around its projects.
To help you get acquainted with the essence of OPID Records, we’ve selected four essential tracks that perfectly encapsulate the soul and aesthetic of the label’s releases, reflecting what will continue to be launched from now on.
Michael Nowak – Walk [Beatport]
We begin the selection with ‘Walk,’ by the talented German producer Michael Nowak. Known for blending elements and melodies in an incredibly captivating way, Nowak delivers a track filled with emotion and depth. ‘Walk’ features a subtle piano line, which, combined with soulful vocals and chilling melodies, creates a sublime listening experience. The result? The release reached the Top #10 in the Afro House Releases chart.
T.Markakis – Electronic Sounds [Beatport]
Next, we have Electronic Sounds, a masterpiece by T.Markakis. With over 20 years of experience as a DJ and producer, Tasos Markakis is already a recognized name in the global scene. Although this track fits within the Deep House category, it goes beyond traditional conventions, featuring meticulously crafted layers, delicate vocals, and an atmosphere that immediately draws you in.
David Ol – Nimbosity [Beatport]
The catalog is enriched with the addition of David Ol and his track Nimbosity. With over 15 years of experience, he brings a mix of hypnotic atmospheres and melodies that transport the listener to new dimensions. Nimbosity is another Deep House track, but characterized by a more minimalist approach, inviting introspection.
Amir Telem – Tender Heart [Beatport]
Finally, Tender Heart by Amir Telem rounds off our selection with a proposal that combines organic lines and deep emotional content. Telem is a versatile DJ and producer who does not confine himself to a single genre. What sets him apart is his melodies, which almost serve as an invitation to meditation and empowerment. Tender Heart is exactly that, a sensory journey perfect for moments of reflection.
