This collection will come digitally but also as two different vinyl versions – one will be available publicly, the other is a special edition produced together with the Belgian gallery, Mazel Galerie. The cover art for it was designed by Lyon-based street artist Brusk. The original will be auctioned by the same gallery in Brussels.

Berlin-based, Belgium-born Strummer has been a Get Physical associate for several years. He has dropped various singles including the standout ‘Rising’ which also featured on the Words Don’t Come Easy series, and always crafts the perfect mix of rhythm and melody with plenty of hints of his homeland’s famous cold wave sound. He often uses his own voice, drum machines, synths and guitars in his music, and since his debut album in 2018 on LOK Recordings, he has had high profile support from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Adam Port and Âme. This summer, he dropped ‘Atmosphere’ on Obsolet Records which proved another successful outing and now ‘Berlin Gets Physical’ finds him digging deep into the famous city’s freshest and most essential house sounds across 15 well-sequenced tracks. This on point collection is an authentic snapshot of the contemporary underground sound of Berlin.

We are presenting the first track ‘For Berlin’, which kicks off with a dark and edgy vibe, gothic vocals and tense drums. Glitchy hits and blurting synths add to the prickly atmosphere and immediately lock you in.

‘Berlin Gets Physical’ will be available after the 23rd of September HERE.

“My first studio album ‘Laconia’ gave me the freedom to try different genres and styles. This has partially pushed me to my limits, but above all, I have been able to learn a lot, also for further productions. Each song tells a little story that was mainly inspired by the different places of my travels because I like to capture ideas on the go and put them into practice in the studio.” Sam Shure.

With its versatile moods yet compact constructions, ‘Laconia’ is a self-fulfilling prophecy. The album features ten tracks that draw on Sam’s jazzy Egyptian roots while staying grounded in his usual melodic, mood-heavy aesthetic. With its warm tones, hazy pads and smart basslines, it creates a perfect ambiance for deep set dancefloors.

‘Laconia’ features collaborations with fellow producers Cioz and Cook Strummer, as well as a special apparition by Sam’s paternal figure Basem Darwisch playing the oud on ‘Mirage’.

We are presenting eight track, more experimental self-evident ‘Not Much To Say’.

‘Laconia’ will be available after the 20th of September HERE.
