In Tiga’s Words:

Luck is everything, and it only takes an instant for your life to become your dreams. The fact that my life was changed, altered, and ultimately bettered by covering an MOR Canadian rockers 80's pop tune is a quirk of destiny that gives me faith in the magical comedy that we call existence. This is the short story of how the shit went down.

It was the winter of my discontent. I was supposed to travel to India with my family for Christmas 2000, but was unable to go for personal reasons. Upset but determined to make the most of the situation I invited Jori Hulkkonen to DJ with me at my club (SONA) for a NYE party. Jori had done a
mixCD for Turbo and we had cultivated a fine friendship based on ridicule, shared 80's obsessions and ridicule. I had a small home studio that was gathering dust and producing nothing more than frustration; and I threw out the idea (I think I did, although maybe he did) of "making some tracks". I didn't know what I was talking about.  My own creative career had followed a typical early 90's trajectory: houseclubs-ectasy-techno-rave-DJ-travel-raver-promoter-radio-recordstore-nightclub impresario etc... all successful ventures that, at the turn of the
millennium, had led me to a position of relative affluence and respect. But the elusive jewel in the crown was production; and this block  was slowly destroying me. Then came the J-fool.

My memory is bad. In school it was perfect, but it's been eroded by a potent cocktail of reefer, airports, timezones, sleeplessness, computers and time. Now, my memory is not to be trusted. I'll try my best: i think the show went ok. Jori probably played a few records I loved, and a lot that iI hated. It was very cold. New Years Day came, I think he was sleeping at my place. I had an MPC, a Nord Modular. an 808 and a JUNO, and a puppy named Uma. Recently, at a small record store in Calgary of all places, I had bought a copy of 'Sweet Dreams' by Miss Kittin & The Hacker. I thought it was incredible. It's hard to imagine now, but at the time the idea of covering a pop song in a techno style seemed interesting. This is before the world went crazy and eclectic. So we decided to try a cover.

I don't remember details of the day. I had no intention of "singing" but I couldn't really do anything else, so that became my job. I also had to walk Uma, make tea, take phone calls, make jokes. Jori did most of the work. We tried a criminally poor cover of "When Doves Cry" which thankfully is lost
to all mankind. We did a version of "Small Town Boy" with falsetto singing so bad that if you could distill the sound into a liquid it would be the pure essense of "embarrassing". We did a midi-file based cover of New Years Day, which I still love, that came out on an old Turbo comp. And then (I think it was last) we did Sunglasses At Night. Corey Hart was a Montrealer, it seemed fitting. Our lack of sample memory in the MPC combined with my hesitancy to sing complex notes (or ANY notes for that matter) is what resulted in the "genius" of eliminating the bridge and pre-chorus. I remember Jori thought it was amazing. I didn't really like it. Score one for Zyntherius.

I remember going to my record store , DNA, which was just on the corner and playing it: the first of hundreds of "listen to my new track" sessions..... my first taste of the cold sweat of public testing, and the sheer horror of hearing MY voice on speakers. I hated it.

A few months before that day in studio i had done a mixCD called Mixed Emotions, which is still one of the best things I have ever done: it featured an "electro-funk" cd and my face on the cover. Both attracted the attention of DJ Hell in Munich, who of course at the time was a hero of mine. I had a contact thru licensing a song from them, so I think I sent him the sunglasses demo. He fell in love as well. I still didn't like it.

The rest of the story is like a montage in a movie, albeit a small film, Hell came to montreal, burned dubplates, played 6 times at Love Parade,  SAN got huge in germany, , ended up selling a quarter million, doing TOTP,  and being one of the big "electro" anthems of the period. I got to ride my own
coatails  all the way to where i am now. All my dreams came true, including the one about being voted #41 on the DJ top 100 list.

I still marvel at how easily it could’ve NOT happened: My dog stepping on the power switch a little earlier, or Jori getting tired, or the phone ringing at the wrong time. And I cant help but wonder how different my life would have been. While I was never a huge fan of the record I will say that
it was a very pure creative effort, in its own way a real punk track: two friends making something without any label or plans or scene......and crucially without any expectations. To spend 90 minutes on that, in a vacuum, and to then feel your entire life altered by the results.... that
is the magic of pop culture, and testimony to the awesome transformative power of ....... the Roland Juno-60.

Love from Montreal, and love to Jori Z and a special shout out to Hell and Josef.

In Zyntherius’ words:

When I was a child I dreamt about being a god.
When I grew up I realized I could become one.
In 2000 I noticed that the post for the god of synthesizers was not taken. I didn't even have to apply for the job. No real god would have to do that. I just declared myself as ZYNTHERIUS - the god of synthesizers.
Nowadays I'm feeling much better, but occasionally I still get the urge.
Which is why you should be aware of the wrath of Z and respect the holy Oscillators.


Tiga & Zyntherius - Sunglasses At Night (Popof Remix 2)

@rodericofficial, @liahalonso

Get Physical’s annual Words Don’t Come Easy compilation clocks up a super sixth instalment this July. At the time of release, 10 of the 16 tracks will be exclusive and once again the whole thing shows this label continues to innovate more than 16 years after forming. 

As with its predecessors, the album showcases a more vocal-driven electronic pop sound. It comes from a selection of names fans of the label will know, as well as a few surprises, from Sebastian Ledher to Paris Green, Emanuel Satie to WhoMadeWho, and each one offers something truly lasting. 

It is South African Thor Rixon who kicks off this most coherent of compilations with ‘He Held Him Close’ featuring Roxy Caroline, the first track to be heard from his forthcoming album ‘Michele’. It’s a brooding cut with expansive synths echoing behind the icy vocals as drums roll slowly below. The tenderness and musicality continues on WhoMadeWho’s aching ‘Ember’ with its 80s vibes, and ZOSIA’s deep and dubby lullaby ‘Fading In’. Roderic Feat. Liah Alonso then offer the filtered and dream-like vocals of ‘Is This On?’, a harmonious electronic pop cut that makes your hips swing, and Sebastian Leger serves up another classic that’s rich in xylophones, colourful pads and hypnotic percussion while Paris Green plays with broken drum patterns and mellifluous melodies to rousing effect on ‘Feelin.’’ 

The mid section gets a little more driven with Bantwanas ft. Samthing Soweto, Groove Junkies & Scott K.feat. Indeya and Emmanuel Satie feat. MAMA offering deep, supple house music, but always with areal vocal edge and genuine sense of songwriting. Elsewhere, Canadian James Teej brings his vocalsubtleties to a pulsing bit of electronic minimalism, T.M.A remixes Mâhfoud & Javier Orduna’s massive‘Secret’ to great effect and zoned out feelings and delicate vocal work characterise all the final cuts fromthe likes of Siopis, Stereo.type Feat. Felix Raphael and Marye.

This is brilliantly mature and musical collection of memorable tracks that work as well at home or in headphones as they will on more sensitive dance floors.

Release Date : 2018-12-17

Submarine Vibes proudly presents Frozen Towers, the new release by MockBeat featuring mesmerizing vocals of Alexandra Pride.

MockBeat, one of our favourite artists who's been with us from the very beginning is back on Submarine.
After his recent releases on labels such as WOOD and vinyl release on Nie Wieder Schlafen, He brings us a track that features the magnificent and alluring voice of Alexandra Pride. Combining ambient vocals with electronic sounds the duo create a perfect combination. Equally enjoyable for relaxed listening as well as dancing.

The release includes two wonderful remixes by Mononoid and Dirty Culture.
The first remix comes from Mononoid, Netherlands based duo who turns original version into a melodic techno dance floor oriented masterpiece. With recent releases on Einmusika Recordings, Lost and Found, and Traum Schallplatten, these guys continue to deliver amazing music. Their unique mixture of cinematographic sounds with melodic techno always makes it a highly enjoyable ride.

The 2nd remix comes from Dirty Culture, Romanian producer who has chosen this remix as an introduction to his latest project - Prime Edge. He brings groovy tech rework of the original track with lot's of classic house sounds and includes some surprising vocal twists along the way.

We strongly believe that dancing alongside this new release will do its part in warming you up during the coming winter.

PREMIERE : MockBeat & Alexandra Pride - Frozen Towers [Submarine Vibes]

Four Tet - Baby

Amidst all the noise around the world right now we come to you with a heavy dose of tranquility.

‘Elegy' is a piece that comes from deep origins. While working on an organic and cozy groove back in 2013, we somehow parked this project realizing we need the right voice and words with it. Fast forward 5 years later to Garbicz festival and somehow we meet Sarïta on the very last day, realizing she had been tenting next to us the whole time! As soon as we all jived into one unit, we knew she was the essence we had been waiting for to finish what we had started. One day after the festival finishes, we run to our studio in Holzmarkt Berlin and the rest is history.

We present you 'Elegy' to be released on Get Physical ✨
Release Date: March 27, 2020

Out now: https://campsite.bio/scumfrogmusiclinks

@TheOddness (delivering two funky downtempo mixes), @Pezzner with a stripped-down haunting techno interpretation, and the emerging art collective Voodoo Porn Space Disco delivering a chugging feel-good House anthem.

Early support from Adrian Lux, Hifi Sean, BOg, Sasha Carassi, Mighty Mouse, Danny Rampling, Bill Brewster, Beltek, Mr.V, Chris Lake, Tocadisco, Lauren Lane, Roger Sanchez, NGHTMRE, Kryder, Darius Syrossian, DJ T, Sister Bliss

But arguably the biggest draw here is the video; a fan-sourced Legotography project depicting lego minifigures in real-life social-distancing scenarios. The photos and videos, submitted from all over the world, were edited together by legendary film and video editor Bob Jenkis (Michael Jackson, Madonna, Chris Isaak) and will be go live on the release date; October 16th.

The Scumfrog about the project: "Sure, my quarantine is very comfortable and spacious, but it does evoke thoughts and emotions that I see resonate around me. It addresses how much I have taken for granted the value of basic touch in my daily life. I sense that many people around me are struggling with the sudden absence of human touch. I hope we can remember this frustration when it is once again ok to mingle, and to appreciate the value of a basic hug. We, as humans, made it to the top of the food chain. We essentially 'won earth', but what is that worth if we cannot touch each other?"

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.
