High Altitude officially launches as a record label.Born in Australia (Byron Bay) as a party organization, the imprint is now ready to debut with its first vinyl release: High Altitude 001, out on November 26.The record features a split EP from Shkedul and Omar Akhrif, two Italian producers based in Northern Italy. Four powerful and visionary cuts that fully express the identity and talent of both artists, blending hypnotic grooves, analog tension, and a pure club-oriented attitude.On the A-side, Shkedul delivers two tracks loaded with progressive, acid and techno influences, driven by fresh hypnotic vocals and mental looping structures that build an intense, timeless flow.The B-side opens with a collaboration between Omar Akhrif and Marco Mellere, exploring raw analog and techno-driven soundscapes. The EP closes with a track in Omar’s signature style — a deep fusion of electro and analog techno, crafted with precision and authenticity.A unique sound that marks the beginning of a new chapter for High Altitude — a label born to push the underground sound to higher levels.

After a brief hiatus, Lay Down The Groove is thrilled to be back with its 10th release, an EP that captures the essence and evolving spirit of the label. Transcend EP marks the debut production of Palazzo, an Argentinian DJ and now Melbourne-based artist. This five-track release is the result of a deeply personal creative process, reflecting his transition from DJing to music production. Inspired by a broad spectrum of influences, the EP weaves together elements of House, Balearic, Tribal, and Latin rhythms, a rich and textured showcase of Palazzo’s unique musical vision. To round off the release, the EP includes a deep and spacious Dub version of the track “Turquoise”, reimagined by label heads Lay Down The Groove, adding their own signature touch to the project.
