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.

The ‘Panorama Bar’ mix series strikes back in its 7th installment with club veteran and psych-house maestro @ndbaumecker. His composite identity as a selector, collector, club curator and musician feeds heavily into the diversity of nd_baumecker's 120-minute vinyl-only mix – including six exclusive tracks over two 12”s.

@FaltyDL kicks off ‘Panorama Bar 07 | Part I’ with the appropriately titled “Paradox Garage Part 1 (With Your Love)”, blending US garage, breakbeats and chopped vocals. The alternative rhythms continue with @Jinje-music (of Vessels fame) slowly building machine-funk anthem “Big Skies”, while the B-side is reserved for @General-Ludd’s dreamy, shutter-opener “Bloods Avalanche”.

Get Physical’s international roster now turns to Brazil for a new single from key Latin American players Leo Janeiro and Hauy, while Japan’s Hiroshi Watanabe steps up with an excellent remix. 

Leo Janeiro is considered one of the most important names in the Brazilian electronic scene, as well as dj’ing and producing he is a respected curator and A&R. Earlier in the year, Leo mixed Get Physical Presents: Cocada, a brand-new compilation put together in cooperation with the Brazil Music Conference. Toronto-based artist Hauy, who also played a fantastic set at Burning Man 2017, was one of the many producers who appeared on the compilation. Both artists are playing a vital role in evolving the Brazilian scene and helping to bring it to the world’s attention. Now they link once more to show why the likes of Joris Voorn and Lee Burridge have signed or supported their music before now. 

Stylish opener ‘Pure Bliss’ is the sort of elegant melodic techno the label is known for. Broad pads stretch off to the horizon as keys bring cosmic vibes to the expansive drums. It’s an astral, spacious track to really zone out to. 

The equally spine-tingling ‘Enigma’ is another voyage through the galaxies. The supple, subtle drums are perfectly stripped back and allow the gorgeous synths to dance about like the aura borealis in the absorbing atmosphere above. It’s dreamy techno that really carries emotional impact. 

Tokyo-based Hiroshi Watanabe has been one of Japan's leading electronic dance music artists over the last 20 years. He’s released on great labels like Transmat and brings that serene techno sound to this remix. It is nine minutes of dancing drums and hits, soaring synth pads and futuristic soul that leaves you in awe of the beauty of it. 

This is a terrific package of high class and elegant techno.

Get Physical continue with a busy November, this time with a superb EP from Russian born, Germany based Yulia Niko featuring a remix from Derek Marin. 

Niko was intoxicated with dance music from a young age and soon got her first residency in Sochi. She has since spent time in New York before settling in Berlin and has now set up her own vinyl only TochnoTechno label. She has also released on Crosstown Rebels, Baile Musik, Nervous Records, Plant74, played parties in LA, live on Mixmag who named her as one to watch in 2017 and has also toured South America this year. 

Superb opener and title cut ‘Acid Meow’ is a slick, stylish deep house track with warm dub chords. A molten, meandering acid line runs through it and the prickly percussion adds another layer that helps sink you into a state of hypnosis. It’s one to work the floor into a tasteful lather, with subtle vocals finishing it off in charming fashion. 

Derek Marin is a drummer turned techno producer known for his productions on labels like Plastic City, Superfreq and Nervous Records. He uses his skills to flip ‘Acid Meow’ into a serene track with thoughtful, far sighted pads and the original’s acid line encouraging you to get lost in the music. It’s an atmospheric and absorbing groove, no doubt. 

Finally, ‘Wake Up’ gets busy with bubbly drums and synths all making you want to move. Swirling pads add depth to the track and freaky bits of alien sound design make it all the more cinematic. 

This is a wonderfully effective EP that shows off Yulia Niko’s ever evolving skills.

Wake Up

Yulia Niko - Wake Up (Snippets)

Demo Submissions only via: https://www.labelradar.com/labels/getphysical/portal

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.
