Get Physical Music invites German duo Monkey Safari to reimagine Niconé’s ‘What Do U Know’ with a driving, club-ready twist. Their remix transforms the disco-tinged original into a euphoric dancefloor peak-time cut.


Out October 3, 2025, the remix sees Monkey Safari inject their trademark sound: warm piano chords, a deep rolling bassline, and playful percussion details — cowbell included — that keep the rhythm moving. It’s a track designed to lift spirits and ignite the dancefloor, while still honoring the original’s infectious essence.


Known for their melodic touch and genre-spanning versatility, brothers Sven and Lars have long shaped the electronic landscape with releases on Anjunadeep, Spectrum, and, of course, Get Physical. From their celebrated Love Will Set U Free album to high-profile remixes for RÜFÜS DU SOL and Booka Shade, Monkey Safari continue to strike a balance between groove and emotion.


Their version of “What Do U Know” does exactly that: merging playful disco roots with a contemporary club sensibility, the result is both joyous and propulsive. A remix that feels just as at home in peak-time sets as in sun-drenched open-airs.


Out October 3 on Get Physical Music — “What Do U Know (Monkey Safari Remix)” is a radiant reimagining that turns the dancefloor into pure celebration.

German-Romanian duo Frankey & Sandrino come back to Rekids with the Please EP, landing 10th October 2025 alongside a remix from Echonomist. They follow their 2022 Brainscan EP on Radio Slave’s label, as well as a remix for Denney in 2023.

With an irresistible bassline, smooth melody, and a nostalgia-fuelled vocal, Please is the kind of track you hear as you walk into a busy tent at a festival—hands in the air, energy abundant. Frankey & Sandrino are masters at crafting emotional dancefloor bangers, going a little deeper on the progressive Genie, building up to busy stabs and mind-melting, futuristic sound design.

Completing the EP, the pair call in Greek DJ and producer Echonomist to remix Please. The Innervisions and Exit Strategy artist strips the original back, transforming it into a dark, hypnotic groover built for smoke-lit dance floors.

"The original had this beautiful Depeche Mode 80s vibe, but for the remix I wanted to take it into a different space, closer to the Detroit sound I love, a bit like Carl Craig’s approach. Something more hypnotic and club-focused, but still keeping the emotion of Frankey & Sandrino’s track." – Echonomist

Frankey & Sandrino are a German duo that has been shaping dance floors since 2009 with their distinct, trend-defying sound. With releases on Kompakt, Diynamic, and their own Sum Over Histories, and regular appearances at clubs like fabric and Stereo, they now return to Rekids with the Please EP.

Founded in 2006, Radio Slave’s Rekids has since launched the techno-focused Rekids Special Projects in 2017 and its latest sublabel, REK’D, in 2024. With Matt Edwards as the sole A&R, Rekids has been instrumental in developing emerging artists and remains a trusted home for house and adjacent sounds, recently featuring names such as Harry Romero, Tal Fussman, Spencer Parker, The Hacker, and more.
