French duo Nôze unleashes the latest installment in Get Physical's successful Body Language mix CD series. M.A.N.D.Y., Get Physical bosses and Body Language compilation investigators asked Nico, the DJ from the duo, to take a close look at the eleventh opus of this cult series which has already hosted some very gifted artists. The result: an almost 75-minute eclectic love declaration where most of the musical obsessions of the French duo are gathered. By choosing Nôze, M.A.N.D.Y. made a good call. As Nico himself explains: "I tried to combine classic Get Physical sounds with Circus Company ideas, but also the Nôze touch and tracks that I would only play as a DJ, like for instance, the one from Dennis Ferrer and Jerôme Sydenham "A Drumstick And A Light Future," which is a very old school track, one of these good-old American house-y tracks. I tried to bring all this together, giving the mix a story, and a unifying theme at the same time." From the opening jam-session-techno of "HMG 2," first glimpse of Hemingway, the new keyboard/drum-machine-electronic drum project from Ezéchiel and Nico with drummer Emiliano Turi, to Ornette's "Crazy" remix, this eleventh opus of the Body Language series is filled with nuggets carefully edited by the DJ/producer and does not sound like one of those simple '90s mixtapes. Throughout the listening, you meet some tempting UFOs, like the cult "Tu Veux Ou Tu Veux Pas" from French jazzman Zanini or the sparkling "Amor Do Olinda," a mysterious track devised by Nico. The rest is a perfectly-balanced mix between downtempo house and deep techno inspirations. Other artists include: Alejandro Mosso, Nicolas Jaar, Ian Simmonds, JC Freaks, Dave Aju, The Revenge, Oliver Koletzki & Fran, Marek Hemmann, Alex Niggemann, Ruede Hagelstein (feat. Meggy), Tiefschwarz, Makossa & Megablast (feat. Hubert Tubbs), Dixie Yure, Lump, dOP, Âme and Siopis.
