Heidi presents Jackathon on Get Physical, a rollercoaster ride full of raw funk, shaking out those grooves until you can't stop moving and leaving no question as to who is the true queen of jack. Growing from the loose and family-based Jackathon parties that started in October 2010 and now holding residencies in Berlin and London, the Jackathon is about energy and feeling and expressing something that lurks deep in the soul. Featuring 16 exclusive tracks from Heidi's closest peers and artists that helped shape Jackathon's journey, the compilation showcases music from Juan MacLean, Jamie Jones, Soul Clap, Solomun, Deetron, Anja Schneider & And.id, label mates DJ T plus vocal drops from the legendary Derrick Carter. The first lady of BBC Radio 1 and a major female force in dance music, Heidi invites you to move your body, and when she asks, there's not many that can refuse. Introduced personally by one of the kings of house music, Derrick Carter, this is an invigorating journey into the roots of music culture as it is influenced by the schools of '90s New York style hip-hop and house (Juan MacLean's "Love In Tatters"), funk (Soul Clap's "Incoming Bitch"), and acid (DJ T feat. Nick Maurer "High"), exploring new realms for jacking music (Steve Bug's "Jack Is Back"). Referencing where it all began in the infamous lyrics of Fingers Inc., The Jackathon takes you through the ages and features original vocal drops made for the mix by the one and only Derrick Carter, who has been a major inspiration to Heidi. Other artists include: Waifs & Strays, Darius Syrossian, Lauhaus & Kabale und Liebe (feat. WKD), Mathias Kaden (feat. Gjaezon), Camea, Actor One, Matt Tolfrey and Boris Werner.
