After previously remixing the likes of Djuma Soundsystem on this label, Kostakis now steps up with his own new single and gets remixed by Monkey Safari.

Kostakis is a producer renowned for his meticulously constructed musical works, he often produces with fellow Get Physical artist and South African house pioneer Ryan Murgatroyd with his current remix for Ryan of “Wicked Eyes” gaining support from Solomun, Tale Of Us and Adriatique to name a few.

‘The Taking’ is a beautifully lithe and elastic track, with dreamy, soft focus chords riding up and down the scales. Warm vocal sounds melt into the mix and the whole thing is designed to infuse a dance floor with real electronic soul.

The German Monkey Safari duo are party boys with a real knack for groove. They have gone from local heroes to international stars thanks to their work on their own Hommage label as well as the likes of Bedrock and are in fine form here. Their remix is a little more edgy, with tortured synths drawn out over the elongated grooves. It makes for a darker, more introverted mood to compliment the fine original. Last of all, a glowing, harmonic Remix Edit completes the package in emotionally resonant fashion.

This is another fresh take on house music from Get Physical.

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.

Individualist is an Afro-acoustic, deep house production duo based in Halle (Saale), Germany. Comprising Wayne de Villiers from South Africa and Rob Collomb from Canada, the duo met by chance in front of the latter’s studio and decided to make electronic music together, before evolving into a proper live group and production duo. Their music is characterised by colourful, swinging house beats with deep roaring basses, earthy acoustic instruments and glitchy sonic landscapes - a culmination of Wayne’s deep roots in South African house music and Rob’s background in music studies and passion for raw analogue sounds. The beats and bass are created on an analog synth, while the guitars, keys, harmonica and vocals are recorded live, resulting in raw and honest house music with a decidedly indie aesthetic and a sound that is uniquely their own. Prolific producers, the duo have released dozens of tracks on various labels in Germany, Switzerland and the USA, including collaborations with the likes of FKA Mash and Tahir Jones.
