Review: Widescreen, shimmering minimal house; the type of track that lifts those hands in the air of their own accord. Whether you're in the ideal location to hear the 2013 edit of this track (a beach in Santa Lucia) or not, there's no doubting it's universal sunkissed appeal. The excess and glamour of the late '90s house scene is played to it's fullest throughout, bringing to mind Bollinger yacht parties and an endless sea of white bikinis. Daniel Bortz' far techier remix brings down the house lights to bring darker textures to the fore. Booming synths and gathering tension cause the night to set in, creating an altogether different atmosphere on the dancefloor. You need this.
Review: This compilation celebrating ten years of the venerable German label shows that its modus operandi doesn't focus exclusively on trance melodies and low slung electro house. It's certainly true that Get Physical excels at these two variants as the eerie synths and rumbling bass of MANDY's "Word Don't Come Easy" demonstrate, but this only tells part of the story. Soul Clap's "Incoming Bitch (Get Low!)" sees tripped out acid added to the low-slung grooves, while Fuckpony's "Cell Phone Hit" is all jazzed out minimal weirdness. DJ T surprises with the string-soaked "Philly", but he can't compete for sheer out there-ness with Raz Ohara's "El Zahir", a mad mixture of warbling ethnic vocals and dense, organic drums.
