Savvas Ysatis is no stranger to electronic music. With experience dating back to the early nineties, the Greek producer has released more than a few tracks under various names. ‘Fade To Black’ is his latest release, already featured on the Body Language Volume 16 compilation mixed by Francesco Tristano, the track has now gotten the remix treatment from Camea and P41.   First up we get Camea’s take on things. She gives the percussion an organic touch while keeping a distinctly mechanical vibe via the raw synthwork. Tension builds with the synths and is counter balanced with warm pads as the percussion chugs along below. P41 keeps things deep and dark, wandering near dub-tech territory with the synthworth, yet strictly techno as far as percussion is concerned. Of course we include the original as well, with its up-tempo hustle and dirty atmosphere. A properly executed track that keeps the tension thick and the energy rising.

Geen filter, geen MTV-shit
Allemaal nep, bro, luister goed!

[Hook]
🎵
Ze willen bling, midgets in de clip, bro (clip, bro)
TikTok dansjes, money in de zip, yo (zip, yo)
Ik zeg: fuck dat, ik doe m’n eigen ding (ding)
Freek Banning, snackcorner, ik ben de King!
🎵

[Verse 1]
Yo, de label zei: “Freek, doe wat MTV wil”
Ik zei: “Fok die shit, ik maak beats in m’n chill”
Iedereen wil fame, drugs en groupies in leer
Ik wil kroketten bij het tankstation om de hoek hier
(Snackcorner Love, yeah, die hit!)

Ze vragen: “Wie is jouw invloed, Freek?”
Ik zeg: “Mijn oma, en de kassajuf bij de supermarkt naast de kerk”
Iedereen doet raar met sciencefiction-haar
Ik rock gewoon m’n hoodie, oldschool klaar

[Hook]
🎵
Ze willen bling, midgets in de clip, bro (clip, bro)
TikTok dansjes, money in de zip, yo (zip, yo)
Ik zeg: fuck dat, ik doe m’n eigen ding (ding)
Freek Banning, snackcorner, ik ben de King!
🎵

[Verse 2]
MTV is reclame, muziek is nu een product
Labels pushen zangers met de looks, niet met de hooks
Ik kom met Rutte in Uniform op een beat zo fel
Terwijl jij playbackt in je clip met nep Chanel

Ze willen girl in de Lambo, boy in de club
Ik wil bitterballen in de regen bij de snackbar-pub
Zij willen trends, ik wil gewoon wat echt is
Ik ben progressief: alles wat geen prefab hit is

[Bridge – Gesproken, maar ritmisch]
Ze zeiden: “Freek, je moet veranderen”
Ik zei: “Waarom?”
Ze: “Je moet midgets in je video”
Ik: “Bro, ik heb geen midgets, ik heb vrienden, en een microfoon”

[Hook]
🎵
Ze willen bling, midgets in de clip, bro (clip, bro)
TikTok dansjes, money in de zip, yo (zip, yo)
Ik zeg: fuck dat, ik doe m’n eigen ding (ding)
Freek Banning, snackcorner, ik ben de King!
🎵

[Verse 3]
Alles is fake, man, niemand speelt live
Iedereen dezelfde beat, dezelfde vibe
Maar ik improviseer, elke show uniek
Mijn solo’s zijn freestyle, net als mijn kritiek

Ik maak muziek voor die mensen die snappen
Niet voor de massa die gewoon wil klappen
Dus fuck je filters, fuck je algoritme
Freek doet oldschool, tot de laatste snik, man!

[Outro]
Ja, marketing is de nieuwe muziek
Maar ik ben nog steeds die guy met de rauwe kritiek
Geen bling, geen bullshit, geen label chain
Freek Banning forever, onthoud die name! my Reddit page is here https://www.reddit.com/user/freekbanning/

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.
