Lithuanian-born, London-raised and now Ibiza-based Greta Levska has a richly multicultural background that feeds into the music she makes and plays. She has got a wealth of new music lined up for this year on Shall Not Fade and Poker Flat as well as this one, while she is also resident each and every Monday at Gorgon City & Danny Howard’s Amnesia Ibiza residency this summer as well as playing further dates for the world-renowned club’s own in house party Pyramid.

She opens up with ‘Why You In The Club’, a full-fat electro cut with nimble bass notes darting about the mix under tough drums. Cosmic synths spray about to bring turbulence to this most arresting of tracks. The excellent ‘Baby Mammas Checks’ has hints of electro sleaze to its chilly metallic drums. Icy hits add to the future feel as filtered vocals bring the attitude and frosted bass finishes this twisted full-body workout in style. Last of all, ‘Ice Cold’ is yet another different vibe, this time riding a deeper electro groove through the stars with melancholic robot voices and sleek synths flying by. It’s a widescreen and cinematic cut that brims with late-night atmosphere.

Greta Levska’s ‘Club Jupiter’ EP offers a trio of terrific club sounds, each with its own personality.

We are presenting the first track ‘Why You In The Club’.

‘Club Jupiter’ EP will be available after the 23rd of June HERE.

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.

The 18-track affair is a deep dive into their own musical output as well as a testament to their alluring DJ style.

German pair Monkey Safari have become Get Physical mainstays over the years. In 2022, they released a wealth of teaser tracks from this mix with each one showcasing a different side to their sound. After more than a decade of EPs and LPs on their own Hommage label they are still mining new musical ground and their 2021 album ‘Love Will Set U Free’ was the latest testament to that. This new mix is a further superb showcase of their signature DJ style and seductive musical output.

The mix is a broody one that takes you into a mesmeric world of classy, musical house. It is packed with originals and remixes from Monkey Safari starting with the alluring bell sounds and vocal cries of ‘Ceremony’ before moving on through the likes of their spine-tingling afro house remix of Fluida and then a lithe and airy remix of BLOND:ISH. After classy Monkey Safari material like ‘Universal Love’ and ‘W’ is a remix of George Morel’s classic ‘Let’s Groove’ that updates the tune with a fresh modern edge.

The disco depths of DJ Pierre feat. Chic Loren’s reworked classic ‘I Feel Love’ is followed by standout exclusive single ‘Hausch’ which lifts the spirits on a wave of positive synth work, upbeat drums and summery vibes that are sure to get plenty of plays this summer and beyond. A faultless run of recently released singles including ‘Kami’, ‘Light Of Day’ and ‘Hi & Low’ then round out this most exquisite and sensitive selection.

‘Body Language Vol. 24’ is another landmark entry into this long-running and influential DJ mix series.

We are presenting Monkey Safari’s remix of the track ‘Koma Kobache’ from Djuma Soundsystem & Westerby.

‘Body Language Vol. 24’ will be available after the 19th of August HERE.

This is Leesker’s second outing on the label this year after February’s timeless ‘Haus Musik’ package. That was the latest in a small but carefully curated series of releases from the ...]]> Get Physical‘s Roland Leesker returns to the label with a storytelling new single ‘The Demon At Rashomon’ that comes with a remix from Confidential Recipe.

This is Leesker’s second outing on the label this year after February’s timeless ‘Haus Musik’ package. That was the latest in a small but carefully curated series of releases from the artist who has seen recent remixes from Scan7, Terrence Parker and Francesco Tristano and never fails to infuse classic sounds with new school ideas.

This new single is informed by a Japanese legend of the Heian Period in the late 10th century. Ibaraki-doji, a notorious Oni, resided at Rashomon Gate in Kyoto and harassed people who tried to pass through the gate until a heroic samurai named Watanabe no Tsuna subdued the creature. The battle raged on until Tsuna drew his katana and severed the arm of the demon. A few days later, an elderly woman claiming to be Tsuna’s aunt came to visit him and asked her nephew to recount how he fought with the oni. Tsuna mentioned that he had Ibaraki-doji’s severed arm in his possession and his aunt was curious to see it. When he revealed the arm, his aunt unveiled herself as Ibaraki-doji in disguise. She grabbed the arm and escaped from Tsuna’s mansion. However, even after retrieving the arm, Ibaraki-doji never returned to dwell at Rashomon Gate again.

The ‘The Demon at Rashomon’ single musically depicts this tale and comes with epic artwork that brings the story visually to life courtesy of Rio based artist Paula Lles. The record has a body-popping, electro-infused and breakbeat-driven groove that will fire up any dance floor. The bass is big and powerful and the turbulent synths, acid squelches and yelping vocals all bring a battle-ready vibe. It makes for a unique and high-impact tune from Leesker who once again co-produced this with Neil Barber at Hot Kitchen Studios in Berlin.

Venezuela’s pioneering rave ambassador Confidential Recipe remixes and brings with him a fresh mix of tech, electro and house. He has landed on labels like Rekids and RSPX and shows why here. His take is a warm, big and bouncy acid cut with silky drums and vocal yelps adding extra intensity to the groove.

We are presenting the Confidential Recipe Remix.

‘The Demon At Rashomon’ will be available after the 12th of August HERE.

DJ One Five grew up in the Motor City, exposed to real house and techno from a young age. A 2008 move to Atlanta, another house hotbed, led to a residency at DJ Pierre’s Wildpitch club and tour dates around the US. DJ One Five has since returned to Detroit and has joined the Afro Acid team with DJ Pierre and become a leader for the next generation with releases on the Jack Trax label and now Get Physical. On this excellent compilation, he draws together the tracks and artists that best represent the Detroit sound that is so revered around the world.

‘Detroit Gets Physical Vol. 1’ is an authentic snapshot of the current Detroit house sound, compiled by someone who knows it best.

Now the label welcomes the excellent ...]]> ‘Body Language Vol. 23’ is the much anticipated new compilation album from story-telling DJ and accomplished producer Cioz.

The Body Language album series has been a flagship for the Get Physical label since the mid-noughties, with instalments taken over by Dixon, DJ Hell, Francesco Tristano, DJ T., and many more. Now the label welcomes the excellent Cioz into the hot set.

Volume 23 is packed with Cioz remixes, collaborations, and standout singles from the well-regarded and self-taught artist. Some are brand new, some have been teased on EPs in the lead up to the full release, but each one proves he is an artist with an accomplished sound. Cioz hails from Bergamo in Italy and has established a fine reputation on labels like Monaberry and Stil vor Talent.

Body Language Vol. 23 opens with ‘Soul Fixer,’ a slow-building, slow-burning synth-scape filled with drama and tension. Then comes his subtle yet superb remix of M.A.N.D.Y. vs. Booka Shade’s stone-cold classic ‘Body Language’ with its irresistible lead melody line. The first of many collabs is with Corpino on ‘Kari Lampi,’ a slick and supple minimal house track awash with gorgeous strings. Further collaborations include the bustling drums and fizzing synths of ‘Hey Honey’ with T.M.A, late-night headiness of ‘Haunted’ with Nairobi D, and organic grooves of punchy floor-filler ‘Focus Pocus’ with Boy Oh Boy.

At the midpoint, there is depth and darkness to the turbulent synths of ‘Imperfection’ with &lez, and then beautiful tension between the tight bass and beautiful melodic breakdown of ‘Warm Worm’ with Sides. The fantastic ‘Jodi Rush’ with Super Flu is sure to twist heads on the dance floor with its complex synth patterns, and a Lucky Shot Extended Mix of ‘Dancing in the Night’ has a perfectly soulful vocal over rubbery house grooves. Much loved Cioz tunes ‘Rain’ and his Neapolis Remix of Patrice Bäumel’s ‘Clair’ from earlier EPs make the cut and lend yet more depth and enchanting melody to this most thoughtful and atmospheric of electronic journeys.

With Body Language Vol. 23, Cioz proves he is an artist with a wide range of different, equally emotive house styles in his arsenal.

We are presenting ‘Jodi Rush’.

‘Body Language Vol. 23’ will be available after the 4th of June HERE.
