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.

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 treats everyone to a taste of their latest big project, India Gets Physical, with a single from Kone Kone that includes remixes from Reboot and Todh Teri (who will be curating and mixing the bumper forthcoming compilation).

Kone Kone's electronic sounds explore Indian musical practices with a lo-fi finish, including references taken from disco, funky basslines and rolling toms. This is a great introduction to the next exciting chapter in Get Physical's country-focused compilation series.

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.

LD Nero is an artist who truly lets his music speak for him, building an impressive discography since 2013 with almost no information available online. 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.

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.

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.

The mix includes several tracks produced specially for the occasion, and exclusive and previously unreleased tracks by Julio Victoria, Faktorm, Savvas Ysatis, P41, and Studiovacanze (aka Francesco Tristano and P41). Also includes tracks by Danton Eeprom, NYMA & Carreno Is LB, M.A.N.D.Y., Cardopusher, and DJ Pierre (remixed by Roland Leesker). Includes download code for all tracks and the continuous mix.

Virtuoso pianist and composer Francesco Tristano blows away dance-music heads with his live sets, solo and alongside the likes of Moritz von Oswald and Carl Craig. Inspired by an "ongoing quest to unite the sounds of the acoustic grand piano with electronic synthesizers, sequences, and drum loops," Piano, Hats & Stabs opens with the split personality of "Dminorloop," with its build-ups and deconstructions, and continues with the decaying bassline of "Stekker Sound Driver" and the driving "Sarasani (feat. P41)." It all ends on a lighter note with "Place On Lafayette," featuring almost psychedelic keys recorded on Lafayette Place, Detroit.

The dynamic duo known as Andhim presents Spayce, the latest specimen of their self-christened "super house" genre. Raised on a steady diet of hip-hop and jazz, the Cologne duo have proven to many far and wide that they are entertainers at heart and envelope-pushers by nature. They use their turntables as instruments and taking them where they seldom go, and their heavy use of samples and real-world inspiration set them apart. Spayce is just another example of the duo's eclectic, eccentric inclinations, ranging from dancefloor epic to quirky, by way of some particular glitch, piano work, and musical hiccups.

This release pays homage to DJ Pierre's contribution to the worldwide dance community with Ricardo Villalobos' remix of that most iconic of tracks, 1994's "What Is House Muzik." His 32-minute remix is split over two sides, with 16 minutes on each side, enough time to ruminate on that now almost metaphysical question: what, indeed, is house music? Here's Villalobos' answer, complete with bubbling rhythms and bone-dry kicks. DJ Pierre describes the importance of this release: "...people are trying to re-discover house music and people in positions like myself have the responsibility of teaching... the true essence of house music."

Punk renegade, songwriting wunderkind and all-around exceptional producer Bryan Kessler is a man of many faces, and all of them rock. It's his mighty fine electronic swagger (and a hearty disrespect for genre norms) which has already led to powerful solo releases on Get Physical and LIKE Records. On this EP he shows his experimental red line in sound with a skillful easiness, marking the earth-shattering first steps of a truly remarkable new voice in a traditionally complacent dance industry: little fishes, beware: there's a new shark in the pond.
