So, what are your favorite Get Physical tracks?<\/p>\n<h2>Sophia Saze feat. Iro \u2013 Fall<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/2x3WBx6eATIIWCjfkJGeHm\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nThe first moment we heard this track from Sophia Saze we were totally blown away. I am hugely influenced by Massive Attack, so this one hit straight to my heart. We originally released &#8220;Fall&#8221; within our &#8220;Words Don\u00b4t Come Easy&#8221; album compilation series a few weeks ago. Sophia is an outstanding musician and multi-media artist living in Brooklyn, New York but her roots go back to Georgia. She runs her own label Dusk &#038; Haze. If you get a chance to hear her, go and check her out! I am totally convinced that she will have a great career.<\/p>\n<h2>Audiofly feat. Fiora &#8211; 6 Degrees (Tale Of Us Remix)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/0IQu5vSlswSNhZBc22MNy3\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nSir Martin Reeves once said: &#8220;All the atoms we are made of are forged from hydrogen in stars that died and exploded before our solar system formed. So if you are romantic, you can say we are literally stardust. If you are less romantic, you can say we&#8217;re the nuclear waste from fuel that makes stars shine.&#8221; Whatever you may think: &#8220;Six Degrees\u201c is one of our biggest classics to date and it reminds me of the fact that we all do relate to each other. We are all brothers and sisters!<\/p>\n<h2>M.A.N.D.Y. vs Booka Shade \u201eBody Language\u201c (Danniel Selfmade Version)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/0aiJjZUCGQKEn1KpWWjUo6\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&#8220;Body Language\u201c is THE defining track of our label as well as the foundation of a 15 year long journey which is still getting better everyday. It is the track that propelled the careers of the boys as well as a lot of other artists since then, just recently a huge pop hit kindly borrowed it\u00b4s bass line  \ud83d\ude09 So 15 years later Danniel Selfmade made this edit and he simply reached out to us by email. When we heard it the whole gang was:\u201c Yes! Thumps Up! Let\u00b4s put this one out right now!\u201c. So here it is again. Cheers to another 15 years (at least)!<\/p>\n<h2>Who Made Who &#8211; Hi &#038; Low (M.A.N.D.Y.\u00b4s Higer &#038; Lower Remix)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/3xX3zxGU0CebnfnkqQRAAk\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nWho doesn&#8217;t love Who Made Who? One of the best live bands I\u2019ve ever heard and seen, I love their ease in switching characters and musical worlds. Their new album will be out early 2018.<\/p>\n<h2>Ryan Murgatroyd &#8211; Something Said<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/3WWj0uBcfXBecJK8JA62tp\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nRyan is our man from South Africa. Although still in his early 30ies he is one of the most influential figures and leaders of the electronic music production scene down there. The singer on this tune is currently in the studio producing her new album with Rick Rubin. I am not allowed to tell you more, but be assured, she is a star! Remixes by Ian Pooley and Superflu are coming out soon.<\/p>\n<h2>DJ T. feat. Cari Golden \u2013 City Life (Maceo Plex Remix)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/4YzyVDW8pNR6mAIDoUWHBH\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nMy personal history with Thomas Koch aka DJ T. (our walking encyclopedia of Electronic music) goes way back into the early 90ies when I was a young DJ and record sales guy at Delirium Records in Frankfurt\/Main. If you would have told me then and there that we would still be discussing and releasing music together almost 30 years later I would have not believed you&#8230; Well, here we are and without doubt T. is one of our most valuable artists and certainly one of our most succesful A&#038;R managers. Ever.<\/p>\n<h2>Francesco Tristano \u2013 Place on Lafayette (Guti Remix)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/4HZNfgIGhylrx0i6724uT6\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nI love Francesco. I Love Guti. Here we have them both together in one place. Perhaps one of the best Jazz records we have ever released J<\/p>\n<h2>DJ Pierre \u2013 What Is House Muzik (Roland Leesker LoveMix)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/0rHtKX2gwV68MGPqJvS73c\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nI got my first DJ gigs in the 90ies in a club called Wild Pitch Club. The club\u00b4s name was inspired by DJ Pierre\u00b4s Wild Pitch sound, mainly released on Strictly Rhythm  \u2013 so when Pierre reached out to me to start working together about 2 years ago I felt blessed and thanked the lord for giving me the chance to be part of his game. This remix is actually the first studio production I did after a studio break of almost 20 years. Pierre will release his first ever artist album &#8220;Wild Pitch: The Story\u201c in November 24 on Get Physical including a limited edition 2&#215;12\u201c vinyl. I have never been prouder about a release and the whole team working for its success than with this one.<\/p>\n<h2>Black Coffee feat. Toshi \u2013 Buya (Da Capo Remix)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/30zadVexkV6pkLCt2x0YAB\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nFinding this record was another important step in my career as an A&#038;R manager: I was actually hunting for a completely different tune from Africa but for many reasons this did not work out; so through the kind help of Valentino from Bridges for Music I met Jarrad Traeger who manages Ryan Murgatroyd and many other great talents from South Africa and they introduced me to this tune and the team around Black Coffee. We licensed it for a re-release (as it was already big in South Africa) and commissioned further remixes by Loco Dice and M.A.N.D.Y.. The money from our sales goes to Bridges for Music http:\/\/www.bridgesformusic.org\/webapp\/home and if you haven\u00b4t bought it yet: do it now! You won\u00b4t regret it: I still am in tears when i hear it, everytime.<\/p>\n<h2>Er + Er \u2013 L\u00b4essentiel<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/4yFZOBOYUVQ6LFMP97Ilqg\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nRicardo and me started producing music in his parents living room in Darmstadt in 1992 or 93 and everything we did in those days we did under the R + R (Ricardo + Roland) moniker including some legendary parties&#8230; This one was one of the very first tunes we finished recording live on a 4 channel Taskam mixer we still do own. Ricardo studied law at that point but I was a DJ. Ricky decided to stop his studies to become a full time DJ (a great decision looking at what he has been able to achieve since then\u2026) whereas I decided the opposite and stopped DJing in order to study Finance and Law in the UK. 20 years later we met again and renewed our friendship as if no time had ever passed and decided to finally release \u201eL\u00b4essentiel\u201c. Since we produced some limited vinyl copies only, it quickly started selling for more that 500$ at Discogs. We kind of disliked that as we both do believe that music should be there for everyone. Hence I re-released it digitally on my Ibiza Gets Physical 2016 DJ mix compilation as well, as I decided to get back into producing and DJing again. &#8220;L\u00b4essentiel\u201c samples from a French vinyl recording of the famous book \u201eThe Little Prince&#8221; by Antoine de Saint-Exup\u00e9ry:  \u201cAnd now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"button small\" style=\"background:#E40045;\"><a style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/roland-leesker\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\"> Soundcloud <\/a><\/span> <span class=\"button small\" style=\"background:#E40045;\"><a style=\"color:#FFFFFF;\" href=\"URL\" target=\"_new\"> Artist Page <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/359676292&amp;color=%23ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>25 November | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/124192998237053\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">XOYO Loves: 15 Years of Get Physical<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.residentadvisor.net\/events\/1009539\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tickets<\/a> | XOYO<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been two years since Get Physical Managing Director Roland Leesker has released on the label.
