Let's Pretend (Yulia Niko Remix)

Come On Closer

Come On Closer (Edit)

Yulia Niko delivers uplifting House remix of Helsloot’s ‘Let’s Pretend’.

Get Physical Music revisits one of its most enduring anthems as Yulia Niko delivers a brand-new remix of Helsloot’s ‘Let’s Pretend’, one of the label’s biggest success stories of the past decade. Originally released in 2022, the track topped the Beatport Indie Dance chart and remained in the Top 100 for over two years. Now, Yulia flips the script with a fresh, house-leaning reinterpretation, marking the second single from her forthcoming Body Language Vol. 26 compilation, due later this summer.

Yulia’s remix brings a totally new flavor to the beloved track. With a bouncy, synth-driven bassline and a classic house piano progression, she gives ‘Let’s Pretend’ a warm, dancefloor-focused energy that stands apart from the original’s deeper indie vibe. The result is a joyful and dynamic version that’s built for sunny sets, open-air floors, and peak-time moments.

Yulia Niko has made her mark globally with releases on Armada, Crosstown Rebels, and Watergate, and performances at leading clubs and festivals worldwide. Known for her melodic yet club-ready sound, she brings both emotion and precision to her productions, qualities that shine through in this remix. With her edition of Body Language on the horizon, she joins a legendary lineup of past curators including Dixon, DJ Hell, Booka Shade, and Azari & III, capturing the sound of now with her own distinct voice.

Now, with Yulia Niko’s remix, ‘Let’s Pretend’ returns in a bold new form, celebrating the spirit of the original while opening the door to fresh dance floor memories.

St. David Delivers a Blistering New Remix of ‘Good Music’ on Definitive Recordings.

Definitive Recordings continues its commitment to bridging classic house energy with the sound of today, as St. David steps up with a bold and banging remix of ‘Good Music’, the iconic 2011 release by John Acquaviva, Alex D’Elia, Nihil Young, featuring the unmistakable vocals of Dan Diamond.

Reimagining the original through his signature lens of groove and analog flavor, St. David transforms ‘Good Music’ into a timeless house smasher, anchored by a powerful bassline and a shuffling rhythm that keeps the floor moving from the first bar. While the heart of the original, Dan Diamond’s vocal, remains at the forefront, St. David injects new life with rolling drums and the addition of classic piano chords that gradually build into a peak-time weapon.

Known for his remixes of Las Americas’ ‘Do It’ on Definitive, St. David is quickly becoming one of the genre’s most respected tastemakers. Born in Bari, Italy in 1991, he draws deep inspiration from the American house tradition, combining soulful, vintage textures with club-ready grooves. His vinyl-only label, Theory of Swing Records, is his personal homage to 90s house, and his releases frequently hit the top of vinyl charts around the world.

With this remix of ‘Good Music’, St. David honors the legacy of a Definitive classic while pushing it straight back into the heart of today’s house scene.

The mastermind behind Basic Channel, Hard Wax and Rhythm & Sound doesn't do mixes. For RA.1000, he made an exception.

Trace Mark Ernestus's path, and you trace the evolution of electronic sound itself. The timeline of contemporary Berlin is unimaginable without him. At first, that meant Hard Wax, the crucial hub that shaped the early era of the city's techno revolution. Carl Craig once said it plainly: "Mark was ground zero."

From there, Ernestus never stopped. There's the birth of dub techno and the near-flawless catalogue that followed through Basic Channel and Rhythm & Sound. There's his immersion in Senegalese mbalax with Ndagga Rhythm Force. Lately, that means Open Ground the Wuppertal bunker that's letting people hear music as never before.

As part three of RA.1000, Ernestus has kindly supplied his first studio DJ mix. As you might expect, it's technically immaculate, but more than that, it feels like a substantial and generous conduit to one of the world's most vital genres.

Amapiano remains underexplored in music media. Publications like our own are still learning to keep pace with the South African sound's global pull, animating millions across the globe. 

You'll hear the range and richness of the genre across the near two-hour mix, from the gothic, percussive stomp of Caltetonic's "Bambela"  to the devotional glow of GemValleyMusiq's "Something Spiritual."

Through all of this, Ernestus has remained understated. He lets the music speak for him, with a quiet honesty that lies in decades of opening doors—creating the conditions for new sounds and scenes to flourish and carry the culture forward.

Here comes the second teaser EP from Get Physical ahead of a new volume of their fantastic Brazil-focused Cocada compilation due later in spring. The three tracks bring plenty of fresh Latin American vibes to the dance floor with Albuquerque & Kaiq, Leo Janeiro & Nuno Deconto and Anhauser all featuring.

Up first are Albuquerque & Kaiq, Warung regulars and well known house champions in their native Brazil. Their ‘Jardim Elétrico’ is a masterfully colourful and lively cut that will get any party started. Dancing synths and bouncing drums really bring the vibes.

Then the series compiler and a long time driving force in Brazil, Leo Janeiro, links up with hybrid live/DJ artist Nuno Deconto for ‘Chima’. Their Detroit tinged house track has well crafted chord stabs that ooze soul and make for an excellently uplifting groover.

This terrific three tracker is closed out by Anhauser, the brotherly pair from Argentina who have released on the likes of Hot Since 82's Knee Deep In Sound. Their ‘Rebone’ is a smooth rolling deep house track with late night chords and wavy beats sinking you well into their seductive mood.

These are charming house tracks that showcase the best South America has to offer.

18 months after the well-received debut, Get Physical serve up a second instalment of their Cocada series as curated by Brazilian hero Leo Janeiro. In this second volume, which was mixed by the Brazilian DJ and Producer Marye, artists from Argentina, Colombia, Bolivia, Cuba and Mexico participate alongside Brazilian talents.

The initial idea was to showcase new and fresh productions in the Brazilian music scene, and now Cocada: The Second Season broadens the horizons. Says series A&R Janiero, “We realised that Cocada could spread throughout all Latin America, that is why our idea is to seek out local talents from right across this region. This is the pillar of Cocada: promote music made by Latin American DJs and producers to the rest of the world.”

Marye is a new name that emerged in the Brazilian electronic scene and opens the compilation with the hypnotic’ Zenith,' then 20 year veteran Bruce Leroys's ‘Liberdade’ takes a stroll through deep house with dramatic vocal samples. Label boss Roland Leesker contributes a touch of suspense and tension, remixed by IVA who originates from Bolivia and now lives in Barcelona, Mexican duo Reptare invest in more dramatic and ethereal sounds, and Warung regulars Albuquerque and Kaiq collaborate on a delicious house track.

Mezomo comes from the south of Brazil, and is head of the Sunset Sessions parties and here offers something full of Kwaito/gqom/afrohouse influences. Argentinean Paulo Malde aka Who Else is an old acquaintance of those who enjoy deep house, then comes another contribution from Argentina, the brothers Agustin and Nicolás Festa, who together form Anhauser and serve up the hypnotic and seductive ‘Rebone’

Elsewhere is a veteran of the DJ booths of Brazil, Rodrigo Ferrari, Fran Bortolossi from Caxias do Sul who comes up with a house track that would fit like a glove in sweaty basements of Chicago in the 90’s, and chic and elegant grooves from Caio Stanccione’s. Leo Janeiro and Nuno Deconto, both part of the first compilation, appear together in this second volume with ‘Chima,’ a deep house cut full of personality that turns into a perfect anthem to put your hands
up in the air. Saulo Ferraro—an exponent of the bustling electronic music scene in Rio de Janeiro— then ups the ante with some outstanding tech house. The power of the Cuban groove is brought to bear on ‘Carajillo’, making it impossible to stay still as Havana duo PAUZA, AKA Paula Fernandez and Zahira Seanchez, do their thing. Finally Claudia Assef closes things out with a classy techno leaning affair.

This is a multicultural trip through Latin tinged house music that makes for fantastic listening and is being supported by an extensive tour, details of which can be found below.

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.
