DrJ DJ, also known as Jordan Mandel, has developed a reputation as a premier DJ in the Southern Ontario electronic music scene over the past decade. His mixing has provoked the envy of top-level tapestry makers, as he seamlessly weaves emotional journeys for dancefloors from Berlin to Black Rock City. He summons an eclectic constellation of music orbiting around his signature organic techno with a smattering of pop remixes to put smiles on faces while keeping hips vigorously shaking. DrJ DJ dispenses sonic medicine, with full commitment to the most immersive, highest fidelity sound systems to ensure total transmission of gut-rumbling bass, sizzling highs, and the vast spectrum in between. He has no idea whether his Gemini birth sign has any influence on the music he makes but if you’re into that kind of thing, go crazy.

NEW 2018 Album REWORK "HEAT"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRCjHtrAKRs

Rework are Michael Kuebler and Daniel Varga, who released their first international club hits Love Love Love Yeah and You're So Just Just on the Frankfurt-based techno institution Playhouse. After their first album Fall Right Now 2003, their  second long player Pleasure Is Pretty was released 2007 and the third one You Play on Visionquest 2014 as well as they founded their own label Loveyeah Records . Their tracks were remixed by artists like Trentemøller,  Magda, Roman Flügel, Alter Ego, Losoul and many others. They appear also on various compilations like the legendary Richie Hawtins’s Closer To The Edit, various Famous When Dead,  Fabric DJ mixes and on Magda’s Balance 27 Mix.

REWORK released various EPs, most outstanding Werewolf – with remixes of Magda and Remain on Meant Records as well as  two EPs on Items & Things. Last year´s highlight was the release of Love Call on Seth Troxler's Soft Touch Records and Acid Control on the Barcelona based Yakazi Records, including a Fur Coat Remix.  Describing their own musical aesthetic as new wave techno, REWORK forges a distinct sound, that combines icy minimal structures with catchy Jane Birkin style vocals, and a dash of dancefloor melancholy. Darker than before, the team becomes more and more intense. The new stuff is quite different and fresh – they bomb every dancefloor with their dreams, which can easily turn into nightmares.

In 2016 REWORK teamed up with dOP for EB.TV a live session by Telekom Electronic Beats filmed at the Berlin based club "Wilde Renate". REWORK also nearly finished the production of their new album and are preparing a new live and DJ set for their worldwide tour. With their regular releases on labels such as Visionquest, Soft Touch and Items & Things REWORK are again on top of the worldwide club scene.

I'm the onion-hating half of @SkiiTour

A strict vegetarian when he is sober, Tim Livingstone doesn’t let an obvious lack of skills or talent hold him back.  A recent survey found that 69% of people would prefer listening to Justin Bieber’s grandma sing “Kumbaya” for 420 hours straight rather than Tim trainwreck again on the turntables.  As if being an incompetent DJ wasn’t enough, he is now producing god-awful original tracks and butchering classic songs with his remixes.  Someone’s crying Lord, Kumbaya.

A lot has happened in the last 20 years of dance music, but one constant has been Get Physical right at the sharp end of the scene. The label has become a globally recognised symbol of quality, renowned for its always varied and vital house output. Forming the backbone of the label's vast catalogue is the influential in-house DJ mix series, Body Language. It is a snapshot of exactly where the underground is at and has been assembled by tastemakers such as Azari & III, Catz ‘N Dogz, Dixon, DJ Hell, Francesco Tristano, Nôze and of course label-founders Booka Shade, DJ T., and M.A.N.D.Y..

Next to that there has been a constant stream of innovative, dance-floor ready singles, crossover club classics, seminal remixes and a number of standout artist albums. The label has always stayed true to its house roots, but with a rich array of influences taken from the worlds of disco, deep, tech and melodic house. Along the way, Get Physical´s core artists have been joined by red hot new talents including Alinka, Thandi Draai, PAUZA, Yulia Niko, Birds Of Mind, CIOZ and Monkey Safari. There have also been carefully considered forays into thriving house music scenes in Africa, Brazil, Cuba, Croatia and India: dedicated compilations and EPs have highlighted those region's most exciting new talents and given them a global platform. 

The name says it all: Get Physical tracks could hardly be more moving and corporeal. It was true in 2002, and it will be true in 2025 and beyond.

I'm on Soundcloud to enjoy sets by local selectors and playlists made by friends. These are but a distant echo of the live experiences we have been lucky to share.
