The Berlin-based label Get Physical Music is run by a true collective -- six people who have been active in the electronic music scene for a long time. Get Physical was voted fourth most popular label in the 2004 Groove magazine readers' poll ("National Label"). Acting under the collective moniker M.A.N.D.Y., Patrick Bodmer and Philipp David Jung run Get Physical and are best known for their remixes of Silicone Soul, Röyksopp, Galleon, Mambotur and the Sugababes. The two inseparable friends have been whipping up a frenzy at most of Germany's best clubs. Booka Shade are Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, production masterminds behind most of the Get Physical releases (including all records and remixes by M.A.N.D.Y., DJ T., Sunsetpeople, Chelonis R. Jones and, naturally, their own output). Since the mid-'90s, Merziger and Kammermeier have released a wide variety of projects on prestigious labels like R&S, Harthouse, Touché and Tommy Boy. Thomas Koch aka DJ T. is the founder and publisher of Groove (est. in 1989), a music magazine available in all German-speaking countries. As an author, Koch has contributed to a wide variety of books of music (i. e. Localizer 1.0 and techno). In addition, he co-founded the Frankfurt-based Monza Club and, as DJ T., has been moving the German club scene since the late '80s.

Arguably one of Get Physical's most influential tracks, "O Superman" sees a new release with remixes from Man Power and SIS alongside the 2008 version from Robag Whrume and a remaster of the now classic original. Man Power kicks off the new interpretations with an epic, ten-and-half-minute version that patiently stretches the original's melodies into pads and held bass tones across crisp, micro-house styled beats before unleashing loose, clattering breakbeats after a striking, extended breakdown. SIS's dreamy, percussive version sees the German producer in hypnotic, and tracky form, focusing on the ebb and flow of the original's tuneful vocoder and synth work that drift across his perfect groove. Robag's Pumper-Nikkel remix, for those that missed it some years back, is yet another funky, chopped, sliced and diced piece of work from the playful producer and still sounds as fresh as ever.

Helsloot announces debut album Never Tried on Get Physical. Thomas Helsloot's debut album comes on the heels of a run of great releases on Get Physical Music. He is a master of melody who has released on the likes of Domino, remixed Bob Moses and Fritz Kalkbrenner, and secured huge streaming numbers such as 400 million plays for his track "Because You Move Me." His freshman LP, Never Tried, sees him distil everything to date into something profoundly personal and engaging. "Mirrors" opens up in absorbing fashion with a signature deep house groove before "It's Alright" (featuring Malou) sends shivers down the spine with its angelic vocal and icy beats. There is a rueful feel to the well-crafted pads that soar above the warm rhythms of "Midnight Fog" and after the wispy cosmic synths and brooding bass weight of the fantastically serene "Outburst" comes the masterful melancholic album single "One Step" featuring Ninja Tune artist Jono McCleery. As the journey continues and Helsloot's evocative synths keep bringing seriously potent emotions, there are darker drums to "Disco Maxi" and silky arpeggios that lift you to the heavens on "Beautiful Losers" (featuring Rangleklods). Elsewhere, Helsloot collaborates with Tinlicker on the languid "Hideaway" with a bittersweet bassline, whilst "Lowlands" keeps your head amongst the stars with its celestial melodic glow and airy house drums. "Let's Pretend" is the standout closer with its retro '80s synth sounds and snappy beats, sending you off with a sense of great resolve.

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.

Two accomplished house mainstays come together on Get Physical Music as James Curd joins forces with the legendary Osunlade for superb new single Chocolate Puddin' while FNX Omar and Kai Alcé step up with their own remixes. Curd came up as a DJ in Chicago and has gone on to become a mainstay of the scene. He is also credited with inventing GSwing, a house sound infused with swing. He has run various labels over the years while releasing on some of the world's finest imprints and serving up his magical sets everywhere from fabric in London to The Avalon in Los Angeles and The Arches in Glasgow. American Osunlade meanwhile has deep spiritual roots in Yoruba traditions that are also reflected in the name of his record label. He makes music with a rare spirituality as proven once again here. The superb Chocolate Puddin' is silky smooth deep and Afro-tinged house with gorgeous percussive melodies and soft shakers. It's full of soul and warmth with meaningful leads that bring plenty of uplifting emotions next to a bluesy vocal. Atlanta's house mainstay and a long-time underground favorite Kai Alcé then remixes. His version is more pacey but no less deep -- the jazzy chords are seductively draped over the cuddly deep drums and the vocal has a more soulful edge. Osunlade also offers his own Yoruba soul mix which is a hi-tech sound with futuristic synth chords and uplifting house drums. Last to remix is Moroccan mainstay and label regular FNX Omar. He flips the track into something that is richly layered with percussion and nimble bass, organic hand claps and hypnotic drum lines that all sink you in deep. This package is as delicious as its name suggests.

Get Physical Music strides into its 21st year with a reissue of one of its most iconic tunes. M.A.N.D.Y. vs Booka Shade's Body Language has been remastered for the occasion with new remixes from HOSH and Patrice Bäumel. M.A.N.D.Y. aka Patrick Bodmer and Philipp Jung, and Booka Shade, aka Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, are Get Physical co-founders alongside DJ T., and "Body Language" is one of the label's, as well as dance music's, biggest ever tunes. Released in 2005, it defined an entire generation of house music and spawned myriad copycats in its wake as well as making household names of the artists behind it. It became an instant classic that worked as well in cozy clubs as it did on festival main stages and it has remained an ever-green house anthem. The influential track has been sampled many times over the years but nothing beats the original. The chunky house drums still sound from the future today, with fleshy hits and warming bass. What makes it such a standout track, though, is the gorgeous melodic hook that rides up and down the scale. Those soft-focus notes are full of subtle but playful soul that never fails to unify a crowd, bring smiles to faces, and get hands in the air. The first to remix is acclaimed German artist Patrice Bäumel. He is a master of stylish and deep house and techno with expressive synth work on labels like Kompakt and his own HALO. His superb version is a complete overhaul with deeper drums and a sense of late-night tension that is released in glorious fashion when the iconic melody comes in. It's the sort of tune that is suited to 4am dancefloors and will take things to the next level. The second remix comes from fellow German HOSH. For many years a core part of the Diynamic family he is also the founder of the fryhide imprint and an assured underground talent. He layers in some fresh and airy breakbeats to power along an expansive remix. After a long and atmospheric build with plenty of cosmic synth work, the original melody arrives during a breakdown and then plays out over the suspensory grooves. This is a superb package that brings a widely loved favorite back to the fore with contemporary remixes and a fresh remaster.

Get Physical Music family members Karol XVII and MB Valence unveil their stunning new album, Essay. Following well-received teaser singles, the full album is a storytelling trip through many shades of heartfelt house. Polish pair Karol XVII & MB Valence have been a key part of the global dance scene for more than a decade. In that time, they have established their own Loco Records, been nominated as "Best Deep House Artists" at the Beatport Music Awards and have continued to push the genre forwards. Drawing on their backgrounds as composers and sound engineers, the duo has put out plenty of singles on Get Physical and contributed to 2020's Retrospective, but Essay is their boldest artistic statement to date. The lovely atmosphere of "Old Memories" opens the album with dreamy ambience and soothing breakbeats before "Aqua" sinks you into a vast and pillowy deep house groove. It's a gorgeous track detailed with delicate synths. The lead single "Whispers" is another stylish and seductive track featuring Johannesburg native and vocalist Lazarusman, before Jono McCleery features on "Fool's Gold", a richly melodic and harmonic lullaby with vulnerable vocals. Real late-night tension defines "Echoes & The Beauty" (Jackspeare Interpretation) with its frazzled synths and mysterious rolling beats, while "Disharmony" is characterized by uneasy, unsettling synth motifs that loop over more cavernous deep house drums. The fascinating album continues through the absorbing dub house and delicate pads of "Waterfall Drops". Another Jackspeare Interpretation, this time of "Sonus", makes for perfectly meditative and melancholic listening, and "Bang Bang" then layers soft shakers over big rubbery kicks while a sensuous vocal hangs in the air. The stunning "Jackspeare Theme" is nearly four minutes of suspensory cosmic ambiance and the album then plays out with the organic broken beats of "Digisong", electro-tinged future soul of "Universum" (Jackspeare Original Interpretation), and pensive synth craft of sublime closer "Humanity". Essay is the sumptuous sound of two producers at their very best. Also features Keely Timlin.

For the first time on vinyl, Get Physical serve up a much-loved DJ T. tune along with classic remixes from Solomun and Kink and a new one from Roland Leesker. The original first came out in 2009 but remains a staple underground tune. "Dis" is built on a jittery vocal loop that gets the listener on edge, while big claps and tribal drums eventually drop to make sure the floor explodes. Bulgarian techno wizard, live maestro and generally raucous groove maker KiNK is behind an excellent remix which goes for Detroit-styled, hi-tech/soulfully enriched sounds with glistening synths and futuristic atmospheres. Diynamic label boss and global house icon Solomun then flips the original into a real party starter, with chopped chords, icy hi-hats, and old school energy that is colorful and playful in equal measure. New to the package is a Roland Leesker "Acid Strings Edit" from Get Physical's always-on-point creative director. His deep, driving, late night version is perfect for waking things up, with busy 303 and splashes of hi-hat all demanding attention.

12 years after Samim scored a worldwide underground smash with his massive "Heater" tune, Get Physical Music re-release a fantastic package of remixes with new versions from Tube & Berger, Diplo, and FNX Omar. It was impossible to dance in 2007 without someone dropping "Heater" at some point in the set. It still sounds as quirky, inventive and left of center now as it did then. The fresh 2019 remaster beefs up the drums, crystallizes the Colombian cumbia lead sample and it's not hard to see this being big once again this summer.

India: an ancient land of abundant spices, colorful languages, vibrant cultures, infinite beliefs, and ever-shifting terrains. This 5000-year-old society was one of the earliest in the world to philosophize and document the natural relationship between music and human spirituality. And through the decades of the recent past, modern India has been interestingly unique (and highly accommodative) to contemporary and global electronic dance music. This, in turn, has developed into fertile soil for local DJs and producers, to thrive and bloom across the motherland. From India's capital (New Delhi) to its major cities (Mumbai, Calcutta, Bangalore) and emerging cities (Hyderabad, Pune, Pondicherry) -- all shades of contemporary house and techno are now being accepted as the popular pulse for their nights. It's fascinating how this fairly recent "western" phenomenon has now deeply woven itself into India's "eastern" culture and rich musical tapestry. But then again, electronic music could never be "claimed" by any particular country or continent. Through the past 16 years, supporters and followers of Get Physical Music have had this innate sensibility -- which collectively eclipses geographical, ideological, and musical boundaries. India Gets Physical is another endeavor by the label to present the next breed of contemporary Indian electronic music and artists, to dance music aficionados across Europe and rest of the world. Going beyond their release commitments, Get Physical Music also proactively aims to explore and discover the Indian scene and extend their support locally. All the Indian artists on this compilation have been brought together by the mysterious Todh Teri (who also happens to be the mastermind behind the mix). An ardent revivalist of Indian cinema's rich disco and cabaret music legacy, Todh Teri's live sets blend these sensibilities with the funk, house, and acid influences of being a Berliner. When asked about India Gets Physical, he says "The artists and music I've put together for this project are predominantly electronic, but with just a pinch of India in it. Clearly steering away from all probable clichés -- all of these tracks sound very international but with just a hint of an Indian tone, scale, or sound." Features Soulspace, Pawas, Arooj Aftab, Unnayanaa, Erika Lernot, Small Town Guy, Adil Smaali, Hamza, Troja, Low Volume, Arnold From Mumbai, Kone Kone, Todh Teri, Murthovic, and MALFNKTION, MadStarBase.

Get Physical Music's 16th year continues to serve up plenty of excellent and exciting new music with We Are Phuture, full of mesmeric remixes from the one and only Ricardo Villalobos. The source material here is the classic We Are Phuture (1988) by pioneering Chicago acid outfit, Phuture. The original is included in specially remastered form and the Chilean minimal techno hero serves up four of his own unique versions. Ricardo has been remixing for Get Physical Music for well over a decade and in 2017 his "Hauswiedermischung" version of Reboot's "Are You Loosing My Mind" was one of the standout tracks of the label's oeuvre (GPM 371EP). The original "We Are Phuture" is an abrasive and jittery house track that bristles with frazzled synths, dark-filtered vocals, acid twitches, and coarse percussion. It's one to electrify the floor, and still does plenty of damage 20 years after it first came out on Trax Records. Up first is "Phutur I Remix", which strips everything away to leave a fluttering snare line, rubber drums, and minimal synth that shapeshifts for nearly ten minutes. Add in some trademark Villalobos vocals that are alien and unsettling and you have a real classic in the making. The "Phutur II Remix" is busier, with deft drums that ride up and down and have a spoken word vocal floating up top. Alien sound designs and occult acid all join the mix later on, while "Phutur III Remix" sits somewhere in between. It's masterfully arranged so as to get deep into your brain and freak you out endlessly. Last but not least, "Phutur IV Remix" has layers of drums and toms, hits and snares, all wobbling away and pulling you deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole until the acid lines come in and take things up a notch. All four of these remixes are essential tracks that prove Villalobos is still at the height of his powers, and as such they are sure to become regulars in his DJ sets throughout 2018.

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.

The influential house duo System Of Survival present D-Votion. "D-Votion", a collaboration with Salvatore Stallone, is a deep and groovy dancefloor track with low-end grit and a funky swing it its step. "No Time To Waste" plays a hypnotically rhythmic synth over a steamy stage of sweaty percussion. "Phantom Power" offers a heavy dose of midnight action with a technoid feel - acid's presence builds a tension throughout while the bassline chugs the track further. Surfbit joins to present "Searching For A Wave". This one shines more sun with warm synths, soft vocals and gentle melodies.

Reboot takes another slice from his recent album Alive (2015) out for a walk. This time it's "Are You Loosing My Mind". First we're treated to the vinyl version - a stripped down tech house beat sprinkled with a vocal hymn and plenty of groove. Then Ricardo Villalobos takes over with two distinct versions. With "Hauswiedermischung", Villalobos creates a kind of chaos in which the track lives without losing the groove. Ricardo's twenty-four minute "Loosing My Miles" remix is where he really loosens the grip on the track and lets it wander in and out of coherence.

Tim Green presents Only Time Remains EP. The fantastic original, "Only Time Remains", finds the artist in a melodic mood, with his seductive, rolling beats all overlaid with churchy chords and a grand atmosphere. The bass is big and bold and angelic vocals lend a hypnotic feel. The remix of Junge Junge's "Beautiful Girl" featuring Kyle Pearce shows Green adding his own unique flavors to the track. The result is a tantalizing nine minute affair that slowly unfolds and sucks you deep into Green's spacious and grand world of smeared pads, tender melodies and subtly rising vocals.

He debuts on Get Physical with Let Your Body Speak, opening with the hyperactive "Friction Addiction" before "Gauge Pressure" feeds a drip of deep bass bathed in bubbly percussion. "Skip About" is a stripped-down, straight-to-the-point kind of track, while the title-track growls along. Bouncy, gritty tech-house showcasing a brilliantly simple, effective, and refreshingly unique sound.

WhoMadeWho join the ranks of acts like Dixon, Modeselektor, Francesco Tristano, and M.A.N.D.Y. with their mix for Get Physical Music's Body Language series. Audiences might know WhoMadeWho as those three Danish guys who reformatted funk punk with Euro-cowbells in the mid-2000s, and while that's correct, it's also a narrow perspective. Shuffling genres emerging from the postmillennial style-clash is but one of WhoMadeWho's many talents. In any case, the genre-crossing think tank consists of drummer, DJ, and producer Tomas Barfod, singer and bassist Tomas Hoffding aka Bon Homme, and singer and guitarist Jeppe Kjellberg. There is a significant reason for WhoMadeWho's continued activity in the 2010s, when many of their contemporaries, like The Rapture, LCD Soundsystem, or Radio 4, have broken up or become inactive. It is their unconditional curiosity toward contemporary club sounds and their approach, often incorporating the functionality of club tracks into their songs, to look further than the edge of the stage, keeping a close eye on and constantly checking the pulse of the dancefloor. Keeping this virtue close to their hearts has already brought them major exposure in sets by Jamie Jones, Maceo Plex, Tale of Us, and many more. And what better way to revive this approach than with a DJ mix? Right from the start, David August's revision of The Acid's "Ra" makes the mix's depth known as it fades into The Invisibles' falsetto meditation "The Stain." From Cubicolor's "Down the Wall," the sound meanders gently toward the club groove as it gains a touch of acid house thanks to Ghost Culture before the indie dance bliss of The Golden Filter and Weval. On the Nick Galemore contribution, in an exclusive remix by WhoMadeWho, the a tapestry of post-rock guitar inches inexorably toward a peak-time bounce. The "Acapella" version of WhoMadeWho's "Wanted Your Love" is perfectly adapted to Luke Abbott's "Modern Driveway" before WhoMadeWho pump up the floor with George FitzGerald's "Your Two Faces." More contemporary club material follows -- DJ Tennis's "Division (feat. Jeppe Kjellberg) (Roman Flügel Remix)," &ME's "Trilogy (feat. Sabota)," and the hypnotic house of Fort Romeau. The whopping Applescal kick drum precedes the WhoMadeWho exclusive, a "Guitarpella" version of the ultra-catchy "High & Low." After this unmistakable highlight, Clark tiptoes in with "Strength Through Fragility" before the mix closes with Nosaj Thing's ambient/bass hybrid "2K" in a deep, worthy culmination of this amorous sound journey through the WhoMadeWho orbit.

Spanish DJ and producer German Brigante follows high-profile releases on labels like Get Physical Music, Saved, Monaberry, and Kittball with his debut album, Bipolar, deepening his focus on a bumping, groovy form of tech house that aims straight for the hips and keeps dancefloors filled with energy. Bipolar is a ten-track selection of some of Brigante's best work to date, featuring vocals from Nick Maurer and a collaboration with Synesthyzer and FreakMe. "Synopsis" introduces the album with a warm bath of pads and synthwork before Brigante gets down to business with Maurer on "The Ones." A soft number, with a delicate and melancholic atmosphere, the track utilizes numerous elements to evoke a beautiful early synthpop feel, as Maurer's vocals do the rest. "Symbiosis," another scene-setting synth-bath, precedes the deliciously retro "Microluxe (808 Instrumental Mix)," with its big synths and classic percussion. "So Good," which appeared in remixed form in late 2015, is included here in its original, gut-grinding, foot-tapping glory. "We Got it," the collaborative effort between Brigante, Synesthyzer, and FreakMe, is another fantastic, dynamic track sure to work any dancefloor into a frenzy. Brigante takes the energy down a bit for "30 Degrees," employing thick, deep, dark synths under a warm canvas of pads and percussion. "Memories (Get Physical Edition)" is another dark, frantic number that delivers a heavy dose of tech house to the album and brings the energy back up. Before the gentle outro of "Monomodule," Brigante delivers one last adventure through the night with another solid dance track, "Be Right Back." Bipolar is a wonderful example of how this synth-savvy producer masterfully forges and arranges his creations for a result that is more than the sum of its parts.

Genre-bending Copenhagen trio WhoMadeWho continue their string of acclaimed releases, including their 2005 self-titled debut (GOMMA 060CD), 2012's chart-topping Brighter (KOMP 097CD/KOM 254LP), and 2014's Dreams (DACD 001CD/DALP 001LP), which was touted by many as one of the best things to come from the indie-dance sector of music in some time. No surprise coming from a band that's played and toured alongside the likes of Justice, LCD Soundsystem, Daft Punk, and Hot Chip, who, in 2011, also asked to remix the trio's song "TV Friend" while WhoMadeWho covered "Don't Dance" in return. Other remixers include underground heavy-hitters The Mole, DJ Koze, and Michael Mayer, proving WhoMadeWho's ability to go from mega-stage to basement seamlessly. Ember is another foray into the world of machine music and dreamy soundscapes, in which the band stays true to its pop tendencies while spinning things around and taking a trip right back to its roots. Band member Tomas Barfod, who also produced the release, says, "After many years of emphasizing 'the song' more and more, we felt like just playing around with our instruments, like when we recorded our first album... it was like renewing our band-wedding vows; we found our way back to our fun and free approach of making music together." "Fun" and "free" might very well be two of the best ways to describe this seven-track creation of skewed pop, surf-rock, and slow, meaningful dance music. Beachy guitar licks, ethereal crooning, and enough distinct flavor to set each track apart from the rest, in the dreamy puzzle that is Ember.

Get Physical Music invited Francesco Tristano to mix the 16th volume of their Body Langauge series and join the ranks of M.A.N.D.Y., Dixon, DJ Hell, Catz 'n Dogz, andhim, and DJ T. Melodic and harmonic elements constitute the core of Tristano's first DJ mix release, which is itself a hybrid production/mix/live session -- Tristano performed live synths on top of the tracks. The basis of the session is in fact his own work, along with tracks by his entourage and a few special appearances, including the "Reboot Remix" of KhalifeSchumacherTristano's "Afrodiziak," edits, and mash-ups. The mix includes several tracks produced specially for the occasion, and exclusive and previously unreleased tracks by Julio Victoria, P41, and Studiovacanze (aka Francesco Tristano and P41). Also includes tracks by Danton Eeprom and NYMA & Carreno Is LB.
