Sweden’s Sailor & I begins to tease his much anticipated new album on Get Physical’s freshly launched and exciting sister label METAPHYSICAL with a first single from it. The fantastic 'Thinking About You' lands on October 23rd 2020, with the full album, Diving For Lost Treasure, due in January 2021. 

Swedish singer, producer and instrumentalist Sailor & I, is renowned for his outstanding live act having performed worldwide at key clubs and festivals. This multi-faceted artist has worked and performed alongside some of the industry’s finest names including Paul Woolford, DJ Tennis and M83 and has released an album and singles on Skint, Life and Death and Black Butter. 

The magical 'Thinking About You' is an idyllic pop-dance combination that has catchy vocal hooks that you will keep singing long after you hear them. The gorgeous piano chords compliment the breezy, heartfelt vocals and ride on a gently uplifting beat that is filled with summery good time vibes. The whole track washes over you like a warm ray of sun and leaves you feeling cleansed and content. 

This is a great taster that whets the appetite for more singles to come later this year ahead of the full album in January.

Sailor & I - Thinking About You (Snippet)

Opinionated, Honest, Sarcastic & Obnoxious Hardcore Chick from Brooklyn.....
I Am Always Reaching For The Star That Glimmers With Hope.
Party promoter & hostess. Music & Dance that's what it is all about...........

I am a disciple of music and have had a fetish for vinyl at an early age. My earliest memories were those of playing with my cousins records from the age of 5. I remember wishing I was older cause I wanted to go to all the clubs they were going to (The Funhouse stood out the most). I remember buying my first record Miquel Brown - So Many Men So Little Time in 1983 at Ceaser's Bay Bazaar And it was all over from that point on. I spent every penny I had on records.

One Day in the early 80's, thanks to the guiding of The Roller Palace (local skating rink), my real musical education began. I went to The Roller Palace religiously every sat to skate & listen to Lenny Dee & Frankie Bones DJ till they closed there doors for good. I followed these two musical masterminds around and started to buy my records at Groove on Ave U. Unfortunately The Groove Crew abandoned Brooklyn and moved the shop into Manhattan.

One day when I was 14 yrs I walked into the rave scene of the early 90's and The Limelight. When I walked into The Limelight, I knew what my destiny was. I started out as a flyer girl & did the call list for Anthony acid who DJ'd lord Michael's Future Shock Parties. I then went on to help out with the hardcore & techno parties on Thursdays & promoted every other night there. On the rave side of it I promoted parties for Guaranteed Overdose, Infinity & The McMuffin Family, Industrial Strength Records and a lot more. In 2000 along with Tony Diangelis, Siege, Shane Fontane and Michael Francis I went back to work for Peter Gatien & did parties at both Limelight & Tunnel until the clubs closed their doors for good.

After the devastation of the closing of Limelight and Tunnel I went to work on the vinyl side of the music industry I have worked for such companies as Watts Music Distribution (Some of the Best yrs of my life), UDG -Ultimate DJ Gear with Ralphie Dee, Unique Distribution & assistant to the owners of Club Stereo NYC. When the music & club industries calmed down I decided to go Back to school and attain my associates in applied sciences for broadcasting. I became The Music Director Of the college radio station 90.3 WKRB www.WKRB.org and helped to build a format where all music was exposed.

As of right now during the day I am the humbled & honored assistant to Judy Weinstein of DefMix Productions.

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.
