Not six months after their last outing on Get Physical, Monkey Safari are back with two more of their perfectly playful house tunes. 

For the best part of the last decade now, Lars Rühlemann and Sven Fröhlich have been serving up a quirky and curious take on house music that has brought real character to the dance floor. They have put out three absorbing full-lengths as well as almost thirty EPs, and have made their Hommage label a vital one in the process. Get Physical has also become a regular home for them and they come correct on the German label once more here. 

Opener 'Palomar' is a superbly slow-burning house bubbler. The lush drums get you in the groove then exotic vocals rise out of the mix next to lush chords to infuse you with real soul. It's a track to get the whole floor under a majestic spell. 

Second offering 'Artifact' is a more tribal tinged tech house tune with rolling snares and chunky drums. Chanting vocals join the mix to pump the groove even more and make this the sort of endless house groove to lock crowds in the moment. 

These are two more hugely effective and charismatic tunes from Monkey Safari.

In every place, music can find a home. But in order to really experience music, you have to actually go to the rooms that were especially designed for it. In those sacred rooms, music can actually get to people.
And the desire for it has never been greater. The desire to feel it, experience it, hear it, to share it with people. HOME reminds us of these moments. Of the things we miss.

HOME will be the first single of my upcoming album, which will be released in early 2021.

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.
