Celebrating all the things music can say that words can’t, we joyfully present the fourth installment of the ‘Words Don’t Come Easy’ compilation. Sixteen tracks in total, from WhoMadeWho to Blunted Dummies, we’ve gathered a selection that speaks for itself. M.A.N.D.Y.’s ‘Higher and Lower’ remix of WhoMadeWho’s ‘Hi & Low’ opens the package. Tomas Høffding’s vocals spread out, setting a warm tone for the compilation. The next track is a brand new exclusive, Savvas Ysatis & Olga Kouklaki’s tech-house burner, ‘Big Fish Fight’. Managing the energy well the track rides a lower, but consistent vibe, swirling and dipping throughout. Of course, that’s only the first two tracks. We’ve got plenty more to go. Loco Dice’s ‘Kliptown Love’ remix of Black Coffee’s vocal hit ‘Buya’ featuring the stunning vocal talents of Toshi is included, and J.U.D.G.E. makes no less than two appearances, once with Noir in ‘Messiah’ and again in Henry Saiz’s remix of Eagles & Butterflies somber masterpiece ‘We Get High’. With so

The first bars are reminiscent of a film score: a lonesome whistle like in an Italian western, sparingly placed tones like in a film noir. A high-pitched child’s voice calls out to us, “Clap Your Hands.” Lasting not even 50 seconds, ‘Mikado’ is the scene-setting first track from Double Fantasy, a foreword for an artist album of a truly special nature. Although its protagonists have been an integral part of the international electronic scene for over fifteen years, this is – somewhat unbelievably – their first album. Friends since boyhood, Patrick Bodmer and Philipp Jung – better known as M.A.N.D.Y. – first formed at the Monza Club in Frankfurt. Originally an energetic DJ-collective with house music at their core, it wasn’t long before they started making music, with a 2001 remix for French Formation Galleon standing as their debut. Dozens of other records followed, not last their celebrated ‘Body Language’, arguably the definitive club record of 2005 and one you’ll still hear frequently to this day. Bodmer

Pietro 'Bingo' De Lisi and Alex Carpentieri have laid down a reputation for their music selection and production. Identifying themselves as ‘dedicated purveyors of all that is good in house music’ – and having the discography to back it up – System of Survival have had a massive influence on not only Italy’s house music scene, but on the international stage as well. ‘D-Votion’ marks the second studio album from the Italian duo, and the first release on their newest home, Get Physical Music. From the first smooth pads of ‘Endless’, the album gives off an earthy warmth that can only come from a lifetime of experience. The album keeps the vibe low, while still keeping the dancefloor in mind. ‘Packing’ starts in the heavens and end on the floor, and ‘Searching for A wave’ takes the torch from there with a gritty bass sharing space with thick, yet soft chords. But it’s the melody that takes the cake here, courtesy of Surfbit in a live studio jam session; it carries the track deeper into the night. This feeling o

With a long list of releases under his belt on some of the worlds’ most influential labels, Dave Pezzner continues to re-define perceptions with his latest album on Get Physical Music. ‘Title Track’ is Pezzner’s 9 track album that sways between the footholds of house, techno and ambient with a healthy touch of experimental where it counts. Known for his unconventional approach to dance music, Pezzner is no slave to the beat (see ‘Heartline’), although rest assured, he definitely knows how to lay on down. Tracks like ‘The Jackal’ tease us the whole way through, while delivering a heavy dose of underground in the process. He’s not afraid to lead us off onto a tangent either, on a journey through his world before returning us to the warmth with the drop. Of course the album has its dancefloor fillers as well, ‘Julie’ is one of them. A sexy house-y approach that pumps out a hands-in-the-air groove and delivers on all fronts. Of course we can’t talk about dancefloor fillers without mentioning the title track o

As we reach the halfway mark of 2016, we take a moment to look at the music that brought us here. Tracks from WhoMadeWho, Robosonic, Blunted Dummies, m.O.N.R.O.E., Kiko and many more dominated charts and playlists for the second part of 2016. We’re super happy with the way the year is shaping up and even more excited for what is still to come, so go out and get your hands on this collection of music. You’d be hard pressed to find so much good music in one place anywhere else.

After appearances on Rebellion & Kindisch, the release of his track ‚Sweet Berries‘ and his mini LP on Get Physical, Alex Dimou returns to mix the fourteenth installment of our fantastic Essentials series. His breathtaking mix includes tracks by M.A.N.D.Y., DJ T., Ornette, Traumer and many more. Until next time, please enjoy and keep on dancing!

Adding on to his extensive discography, Reboot has curated a fresh journey through his world with the aLIVE LP on Get Physical Music. A diverse selection worthy of the international dancefloor, the LP contains the culmination of the artist’s long career and the many experiences, stories and inspirations that come with that.

Once again we find ourselves at the halfway mark; the snows winter has long since retreated, replaced by warmth and sun of summer. So with the second half still ahead of us, it’s time to take a count of days gone by. Get Physical Music Presents Most Wanted Part 1, highlighting the year’s hottest releases to date; and this time it’s filled to the brim. From Emanuel Satie’s chart hopping rework of DJ Le Roi feat. Roland Clark - I Get Deep (Late Night Tuff Guy Remix) to WhoMadeWho’s ‘Hi & Low’ (including another of Emanuel’s remixes) there’s much to be heard. Modern reworks of absolute classics, like Blunted Dummies - House For All (Ruede Hagelstein Ecstatic Dub) or DJ Pierre - Let The Music Take You Higher (Wild Pitch Mix) sprinkle the tracklist, sharing a home with some fresh innovators, like Agent! - Can U Dig It (Original Mix), Francesco Tristano - Place On Lafayette (Thomas Gandey & Radio Slave Last Communication Remix), or Robosonic - Drowning (Club Version). All of this is packed up tight with 2 c

We are super excited to welcome the new season with you, and proudly present our compilation for the 2016 season. This years compilation has been lovingly curated by our team to present a diverse selection, mixing the underground touch of berlin here and there, the sweet warmth of a vocal track like Alex Dimou’s, ‘This Time’, feat Black Soda, and always maintaining a careful dynamic balance and consistency throughout. Sandeman’s ‘No More Conversations’ weighs one end of the scale with a satisfying peak time thriller, alongside Roland Leesker’s own floor banger, ‘My Warehouse’. Tracks like martínek’s ‘She Bad’ operate a bit more relaxed, or ‘1141’ from George Vala, a fully functional flight into a higher realm. Robbie Akbal and Muk.ti team up and create a stellar low-down-groover, ‘Every Retreat’. Sunny open air tracks like the Daniel Dubb’s mix of ‘Everything You Got’ by m.O.N.R.O.E. are to be found as well. R+R even makes an appearance with another highly charged track, ‘L’essentiell’, keeping the tempo up i

With the season well underway, Get Physical is hitting the ground running with the 18th edition of Full Body Workout. If case you’ve been living under a rock the last decade, Full Body Workout aims to shine a spotlight on some of the hottest rising and established talent for their take on where the scene is now, and where it might be headed. So finding tracks by visionaries like Pezzner, NIBC and Nils Hoffman shouldn’t come as a surprise. The compilation opens with a floor-moving tech-house groove from Supernova to set everything into motion. Quickly following is Pezzner with ‘Julie’, a small shift down in energy initially, only to rise to peak time levels over the course of the track. Eagles & Butterflies then shakes down the floor with a percussion driven beauty, ‘Awakening’. Nils Hoffman up next. The young German producer delivers a stunning track full of bass swells and calls it ‘Storms’. Hold out for the elegant piano lines in the break, a brilliant contrast to the dark and heavy bass surrounding it.

Every few months we take a moment to reflect on our catalogue and curate a selection of the tracks which made the biggest impact, for you and for us. We call this selection Get Physical Essentials, and it starts now. This time the torch is passed to Oliver Giacomotto, whose hand in selection and mixing duties haven’t gone unnoticed. First andhim’s stimulating remix of the WhoMadeWho burner, ‘There’s a Way’, bringing the pop track to the dancefloor and clearing a path for Emanual Satie’s crowd-pleaser ‘Private Show’. m.O.N.R.O.E. makes an appearance with ‘Kill It’ before we stop on Olvier’s own remix of German Brigante’s ‘Sooner or Later’ featuring Thomas Gandey. So far the tracklist looks like a Get Physical family reunion, but it doesn’ stop there either. With even more tracks from players like Siopis, FreakMe, Paolo Rocco, more from WhoMadewho (Sante remix) and German Brigante; this is the cream of the crop here, all killer and no filler, as they say.

Get Physical Music Presents: Rewind Pt. 1 2016, a four-part compilation that showcases the best Get Physical tracks, while they’re still hot! Featuring Emanuel Satie, Noir, German Brigante and more...

WhoMadeWho... Aren´t that those three Danish guys who reformatted Funk Punk with Euro-cowbells a while back? That is correct, but that is also a very narrow question. Shuffling genres emerging from the postmillennial style-clash is but one of their many talents, although perhaps one of their key disciplines. In any case, the genre-crossing think-tank consists of drummer/DJ/producer Tomas Barfod, and the two-headed vocal monster singer/bassist Tomas Hoffding, AKA Bon Homme and singer/guitarist Jeppe Kjellberg. With three extremely different backgrounds in electronica, rock and jazz (respectively), each member supports and compliments each other independently, as one; challenging the traditional ‘band’ structure of days long past. There is a significant reason why WhoMadeWho, unlike congenial bands like The Rapture, LCD Soundsystem or Radio 4, survived the so-called new millennium. It is their unconditional curiosity towards contemporary club sounds and their approach, often incorporating the functionality of c
