The B side to my debut EP with Melbourne based label @thickasthieves. A cheeky, summer bop.

Third extract taken from Tal Fussman's forthcoming debut full-length on the newly formed Survival Tactics, 'Move Your Hips' does exactly what's written on the tin.

Slicing off a jazzed-out belter of a tune, Fussman pulls out a force-field of FX-drenched hard-bop Rhodes, altered robotic vox and purebred Chicagoan shuffle to subjugate everything and everyone in its wake. Masterly hugging the bend between an avalanche of mad-hatter electro-acoustic chords tumbling and jolting in falsely chaotic style - think an AI-powered big band gone wild, and a retro-futuristic house churn that packs a serious punch, the Israeli-born, Berlin-based producer swings the pendulum with strapping impact throughout. A buoyant piece of roaring twenties-laced athletics for the now and tomorrows, which will satisfyingly quench some of the thirst for new Fussman material, en route to the big drop later this year.

Roland Leesker drops second single 'Let It All Go' feat. Dan Diamond from his upcoming artist album.

Get Physical Music's Roland Leesker has been the powerhouse behind the imprint for many years. The German tastemaker has not only curated the label's output, but has helped define it with his own music. Whether working solo or in collaboration with icons like DJ Pierre, Roland Clark and Terrence Parker, his sounds have a timeless quality that matches that of his DJ sets. After helming the label's 20th-anniversary compilation back in 2022, he will return in August with a full LP, ‘Searching For Peace’.

There is great craft in the epic eight-minute 'Let It All Go' feat. Dan Diamond - a chugging disco-house track with great structure that soon sweeps you up as the hip-swinging drums and tumbling arps drag you in deep. The spoken word vocals muse on the politics of the scene and the need to get back to focus on music as dazzling cosmic synths bring light and hope. As tension builds and the synths take over and turn acidic, dance floors will go to the next level.

Remixing is the Rekids label founder and ever-green house and techno talent Radio Slave. His super rework ups the pace and dubs out the drums, so they hit that bit harder. The vocal remains, as do the warming synths, as it surges on a smooth and uplifting groove.

Roland Leesker's 'Let It All Go' (feat. Dan Diamond) will be released on Get Physical Music on June 7, 2024.

Let It All Go (feat. Dan Diamond)

In steps São Paulo based Renato Cohen who fires up his arsenal of analogue gear and adds to a venerated catalogue with a bright and burly Italo cut.

Ripe drums land squarely like a boxer's jabs while a barbed bass drives in lockstep with caustic blobs of acid. An anthemic piano line bursts in with expressive flair, rolling through chordal shifts while snare fills maintain a sense of pace and urgency.

Pan flutes soar in, subbing in for the piano to rapturous effect. The result is an addictive, giddy meld; a hands up vibe with a bold identity that's guaranteed to stick in the head of even the most imbibed raver across the festival season

Shir Khan Presents Welt Am Draht - a collection of Exploited dancefloor gold from 2024!
'Sex!' by duo Modular Project rolls out a neat and classy groove as the sturdy bones of a Disco beat thump under a snake-hip bass, serrated acid line and bold, unfiltered piano chords.
Bearing flecks of Krautrock, Indie, Electronica and Funk, Made In TLV's 'Super Cool' is an anthem that traverses vast sonic territory.
Diar Storm, Lost Boy 1984, Play Paul present a modern form of Dark Wave Electro that is, equal parts stroppy and sexy. 'Everything So' emits cathartic steam as vibrant synths burst with bittersweet chords and jagged staccato tones.
'Tainted In The Sun' by Niv Ast kicks off with a Manchester chorus beaming out over stroppy power chords.
Gary Numan’s cross-continental hit 'Cars' from 1979 has been covered, sampled and reworked from vastly different pockets of the industry. Now - Laroz presents a rejuvenation of ’Cars’.
'Infinity' by Budakid is a journey in the truest sense of the word. Through an effervescent bass sequence, clever filter control and kinetic drum work, Budakid generates consistent motion from start to finish.
'Falling For You' by Komilev dials in that Panorama vibe packed with effervescent drama, soul and sass.
'Rompe Disco’ by Alex Medina bumps like House and glistens like an Italo whilst also exuding the moxie of Reggaeton.
'Foreign Affairs' by Micropacer follows with more early 80s flair.
Pole Position of Brunch In The Park Barcelona fame channel their complementary energies into 'Diamonds'; a recording inspired by Electro House that deftly straddles 80s New Wave, Prog and Indie.
Moodymanc's 'Joy' twists Philadelphia soul sounds into a peak time house monster. Now re-edited for modern times in a special Breakbeat version.
São Paulo based Renato Cohen fires up his arsenal of analogue gear and adds a bright and burly Italo cut with ’Lemon Key’.
Zeynep Erbay’s ’Neon Palm’ sits comfortably alongside modern Indie Dance, Italo Disco and House alike.
Slump Recordings boss Baby Rollén’s ’Feeling Mumbled’ Remix is an ultimately playable DJ tool; one that renders an after hours sunrise as chords bounce of the tracks surface like rays of light while tight, nifty shuffles interlock with a bouncing bass line.
Austin Ato fleshes out some deliciously hallucinogenic Italo synths in his Remix version of ’Super Cool’ by Made In TLV.
’Acid Infatuation’ by Levantine is a sound that occupies a sweet spot between Eurodance and Italo.
Black Hawks of Panama steps in with ’Wrapped’.The ingredients are simple: a slapping disco kit, Alpha Juno, zesty guitar licks and an anthemic vocal. The result is a contagious Italo march that burrows deep under the skin; put simply - a slice of pure rapture.
'Good Times' by Renato Cohen sparks things up with bright, muscular drums that pave the way for a rasping bass line - a killer DJ tool. Raw energy is spat out while snares clash and vocals march along with an intensity that doesn't let up.
Captain Mustache’s ’Diavola’ flexes low-mid tones warble in lock step with strapping drums and an earworm synth line.
’Heart Life' by NEAT adds a further facet to the compilation with an allaying Italo-tinged groove.
In ’Neonim’ by Laroz, a gently jagged bass line bubbles away, creating a buoyant bed for expertly crafted drums which pop out with expressive alacrity. Dulcet piano tones form a bond with amber-tinged synths as warming soundscape is developed.
James Curd throws a dart straight to the dance floor with the jazz-tinged House jam ’Feeling Mumbled’ built from a classy palette of samples.
Sandhog closes the album with the highly memorable recording 'Berlin' that speaks to the power of simplicity.

Modular Project - Sex! (Exploited)

https://getphysicalmusic.lnk.to/GPM818

Get Physical releases DJ T. 's 2005 classic "Funk On You" in three new interpretations. Alongside mixes from two of DJ T.'s favourite producers, there is also one from the label co-founder himself.

First remixer Emanuel Satie is co-founder of the vital Scenarios label with Maga, Sean Doron and Tim Engelhardt. Along with his solo imprint Solaris, it is defining the sound of the melodic house world with finely crafted music featuring meticulous melodies that regularly find their way to the top of the Beatport charts, much like his own always sophisticated productions. Here, he flips the classic into a strident cosmic disco chugger. The arps are bright and sugary, while hip-swinging claps and playful vocals are topped oﬀ with joyous piano chords that will raise the roof.

Whitesquare is a versatile talent with releases on top labels such as Life and Death, Permanent Vacation, Higher Ground and Kompakt. His diverse sound is always underpinned by an infectious groove, awakening memories of dance music styles from the past. That’s exactly what he does here with his superb mix of ‘Funk on You’. His wonderful rework is a colourful and freewheeling percussive exploration with mid-tempo drums and funky hooks. Acid-tinged synths arrive to take things to the next level while astral melodies explode like fireworks.

Underground mainstay DJ T. is an ever-green artist who has explored many diﬀerent facets of indie dance, house, disco and tech over a decades-long career. His 2025 Re-Shape ups the ante with uplifting synths and melodies, all bringing a retro 80s touch to a driving disco-tech beat. The still magical original is also included with its fat and funky bass and intergalactic melodies.

This is serious dance music at it's most cutting edge with all the juice to really get you going. It's totally contemporary, innovative and has a chunky dirty feel.

Shir Khan's label "Exploited" bottles the zeitgeist's giddy thrills with plenty of style and substance. This is dance music hybridism in all its most glorious forms, and Shir Khan is an expert at making square pegs fit round holes.' (DJ-Mag)
