PREORDER
RELEASE DATE: 4/24/2026
Definitive Recordings presents a special vinyl-only release as Roland Leesker delivers his cover version of "What You Need," the seminal house anthem originally released in 1990 by Soft House Company. This release is a respectful homage to one of house music's defining records, crafted for DJs and collectors alike. While retaining the essence of the original, this version introduces a more energetic bassline before weaving in a subtle 303 acid line, bridging different eras of house music history into one hypnotic, evolving arrangement. This vinyl-only release is a tribute to the legacy of house music -- respectful, powerful, and made to be played loud on a proper sound system.

GPM 760EP

Roland Leesker has kept the legendary Get Physical label right at the forefront of the scene in his years at the helm. His music has been a small but vital part of that: he doesn't release often, but when he does it is timeless house music that always makes its mark. As well as a steady stream of singles, he also curated and mixed the crucial 20 x Get Physical compilation back in 2022. He has collaborated with greats of the scene like DJ Pierre, Roland Clark, and Terrence Parker. The brilliant Respect is a spritely and serene deep techno journey. The shimmering chords echo early Detroit techno and the supple drums are packed with warmth and bounce. Together they make for a cut that subtly uplifts as it unfolds in an engaging fashion over seven fantastic minutes. Remixer Robert Hood is one of the foundational figures of techno. The Motor City innovator works under his own name and as Floorplan and has mastered the art of seductive loops, whether making stripped-back minimal or gospel-laced house. Here, he flips "Respect" into a thumping and emotionally intense cut with faster drums than the original but just as much machine soul and a little extra texture in the percussion.

GPM 418EP
|
Roland Leesker returns to Get Physical Music with a brilliant new track that comes with a remix from Cardopusher. Entitled "Thunderstorm", it is seven minutes plus of moody and dramatic tech with heavy synth clouds, whining machines, and turbulent drums, all whipping up a storm. Venezuelan born Cardopusher masterfully cooks up another frenzied track with spraying acid, heavy, marching and industrial drums, and a real sense of rave energy. Finally, Leesker offers up his own "Dschinn Mix" providing even more raw energy. Angry drum rolls, stomping kicks, and huge hi hats all piled up and force you onto action.

In the 1990s, Roland Leesker would play and produce with artists who are legends in 2015. Slaving away with Ricardo Villalobos in his living room, creating loops with John Selway, working as a light jockey for Joe Jam and Mark Spoon, working with Cajmere and Ata at the Wild Pitch Club... Now, he's returned to the studio with his production partner Philipp Maier aka Santé to deliver an instant classic, "My Warehouse," a bass-laden house killer with intense kicks and a gritty, in-your-face bassline. Techno-prince Chris Liebing delivers an edit of Cardopusher's sexy remix, released in advance of remixes from M.A.N.D.Y. and DJ T.
