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.

Belgian DJ / producer down under Gratts is back with his most intriguing collection of songs to date. Different shades of house music are on offer - always raw, real, and full of personality.‘Off My Feet’ is dedicated to Restless Soul and features Durban force Venessa Jackson on vocals. Adelaide’s Ed Temple destructs, rerubs and transforms it into a sleazy slice of hardware boogie. ‘Smiling’ chronicles hazy London days and nights some 20 odd years ago, brought to life by the illustrious JPHiLo. A track both for club and airwaves use. ‘Better Days’ is a warm and uplifting chunk of balearica, in which Rose ensures us better days are soon upon us (surely), while Belgium’s Steven De bruyn shines on harmonica. The ‘Moody Beatdown Dub’ pulls things firmly into Detroit territory. The EP concludes with title track ‘New Horizons’, an emotional piece that fuses a juicy acid line with the cascading magic of Adelaide pianist (and techno veteran) Antony Coppens.
