The name says it all: Get Physical tracks could hardly be more moving and
corporeal, brimming with new beats and sounds by up-and-coming talents.
Thanks to this emphasis, it has taken Get Physical less than four years to
become one of the fastest risers and strongest brands of the international
club scene. The Berlin/Prenzlberg-based label is backed by a collective of
six people, each of whom had a long-standing career in music before making
their way from Frankfurt to the capital at the beginning of the new
millennium: Booka Shade alias Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier,
M.A.N.D.Y. alias Patrick Bodmer and Philipp Jung and Thomas Koch aka DJ T.
Gradual changes, like allowing other styles to join the mix and opening the
label up to become today's musical home for almost 20 artists from around
the globe, go hand in hand with rising expectations, changed structures and
new concepts. The label's sound, too, continues to ramify and proliferate -
it has become virtually impossible to squeeze their output into any style-
or genre-related pigeonhole. Club compatibility is an absolute must, as is
a penchant for the atmospheric and an emotional intensity which invariably
hit the nerve of the boiling dancefloor. The crew of fifteen at Milastraße
2 consider themselves a true artist collective. By taking their sound and
vision to the outside world, all members of this family, above all the
label's three in-house acts Booka Shade, M.A.N.D.Y. and DJ T., have
contributed to the label's exceptional reputation. Ignore at your own
peril!
