Get Physical Music turns seven years old in 2009, having released over a 100 singles and over 25 albums. To celebrate this landmark anniversary, M.A.N.D.Y. have put together a dynamic 41-track compilation showcasing what the label does best.
The clue is in the name: Physical is first and foremost about moving people: their hearts, their minds, their behinds. The 7th Anniversary Compilation is centered around material from the label’s last three years, and features contributions not only from stalwarts like DJ T. and Booka Shade but also friends, extended family and more recent signings like Raz Oahra And The Odd Orchestra, Nôze, DJ Koze, Bronnt Industries Kapital, Junior Boys, Matthew Dear. Tracks exclusive to this limited edition include a new remix of Damian Lazarus’s ‘Neverending’ by M.A.N.D.Y. and Alexkid, a ‘Saxed Up’ version of Dakar’s club killer ‘I’ve Got That Feeling’, as well as unreleased tracks from Lopazz, a.o.
This limited edition demonstrate the label’s ongoing commitment to nurturing original and unusual talent. Get Physical has grown to absorb and accommodate innovations in musical style, production and practice, not to mention the ever-evolving tastes of its audience. But all the while its original vision and philosophy has remained intact: simply to create and nurture great dance and pop music. Forget meaningless tags like electro-house, minimal, tech-house, the 7th Anniversary Compilation showcases what can only be described as the Get Physical sound. Often copied, but never bettered. Still delivering the goods after seven years.
