Open Air is a wire desk for afro house, organic house and melodic and progressive house, organised by place and season rather than by release calendar.
Each dispatch is datelined to a room in season: Ibiza, Mykonos, Lisbon and Berlin in summer, Tulum, Cape Town and Miami in winter.
The desk selects from what charting and touring DJs are playing that week, and every dispatch says who charted or played the record.
Where a label wrote about a record in its own words, the note is quoted verbatim and attributed to the label with its source.
There are no reviews and no stances: the desk reports what was charted, played and said.
