Get Physical Vol. II

Celebrating Get Physical's fourth year in business, this compilation showcases some of the label's best-known releases of the past year and also gives a hint of what we can expect in 2006. On this fourth anniversary compilation, the label's best-known artists, DJ T., Chelonis Jones, M.A.N.D.Y, and Booka Shade all rub shoulders with upcoming producers, but the goal remains the same: to put out electronic club music that hits you in the heart, head and feet. It's another full body workout, expect to get sweaty! Mixed by Philipp Jung and Patrick Bodmer, aka M.A.N.D.Y, the compilation isn't about big tunes or big names. Instead, it reflects the long A&R process Get Physical, spearheaded by DJ T., put in to find new talent. Jonathan from Belgium leads the charge of upcoming producers with "Yellowstone," which wields shimmering, euphoric synths and a niggling guitar riff over a live funk bassline and "Learning By Mistakes," which features on his recently released debut EP for the label, "The Learnings," and is based on loose, glitchy beats and a recycled trance buildup. Looking to the future and providing a reminder of their recent achievements, Get Physical Vol II shows that after four years, this label still knows how to keep it physical.
