Title:	Philly
Label:	GET PHYSICAL MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	GPM 005EP

Get Physical catalog additions; this one from 2003, with remix by DJ Naughty. "Old school flavour meets the sounds and beats of today, paying homage to the rudimentary tracks of the early disco era and the unforgettable Sound of Philadelphia. Reverbed string lines, sweet atmospheres and spectacular dub effects fly over a forcing and omnipresent groove, keeping the track´s flow over its epic length of 8 1/2 minutes. Like the previous release, 'Philly' was produced together with GPM producer Booka Shade. On B1 you find DJ Naughty's interpretation, starting off with a sweaty beat, later breaking into an atmosphere that is close to the original, yet spicing it up with a good portion of 'Naughty Funk'. B2 gives you the Dub Mix...no chords...no melodies...just pure groove."

Title:	Freemind
Label:	GET PHYSICAL MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	GPM 008EP

Originally released July 2003. "GPM 008 is the third production by DJ T. and his production partner Booka Shade for the label. Anyone who has heard 'Starlit' (GPM 003) and 'Philly' (GPM 005) can easily recognize their atmospheric electronica and trademark basslines. The A-side 'Freemind' touches all the bases of their first releases and reaches even higher. All you need is this nine minute summer EPs to get your 'open air' groove on. The B-side 'Bite' is another good example of reshaping the soundscape of the 80's. 'Bite' teases as did 'Electrofied' (GPM 003) with Electro-Funk, yet takes it to a new pulsating level."

Title:	Get Lost/Phantomas
Label:	GET PHYSICAL MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	GPM 013EP

Originally released in July, 2004. "With DJ T's first three releases on Get Physical, Starlit/Electrofied, Philly and Freemind/Bite, the elements are woven through many directions from club music's lengthy past (electro, disco, hi N-R-G, Italo-house), and re-emerge on this follow-up, with the help of long-time production partner, Booka Shade. The A-side 'Get Lost' begins with the trademark bass line, reminding one of the themes/pages culled from the 1988 acid house movement, then surprisingly creeps into a hypnotic break -- led by a dominant acoustic bass and vocoder-hookline. The B-side 'Phantomas' fights in contrast to the previous, with a nearly seven-minute real-sound drums / punk attitude / disco sequence to unhinge even the firmest clubfloor panels."

Title:	Time Out
Label:	GET PHYSICAL MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	GPM 017EP

Originally released in July, 2004. "DJ T.'s fifth release on Get Physical features three completely different versions of one track. 'Time Out' in its original form is an easy-going homage to the summer-time euphoric aesthetic of early Italo tracks. Shifting light-hearted synth-pop sequences and an acid-line loop on top of a driving, percussive groove. Through a dominant and perpetually uncertain staccato bass line, the robust 'Acid Dub' (on side B) does away with this mood and creates a self-determined, shuddering groove. Carl A. Finlow, aka Random Factor's unmistakable signature style, creates a version in which a rolling wave of sound leaves glittering sound cascades in its wake without forgetting the dancefloor. It is the ideal soundtrack for an open-air after-sunrise."

Title:	Rising
Label:	GET PHYSICAL MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	GPM 028EP

Originally released April, 2005. "DJ T.'s first single taken from his debut album Boogie Playground. Here DJ T.'s heartfelt influences of electro, disco, Italo, acid, Detroit and Chicago house are displayed but given a new shape. 'Rising' is low slung but high energy house. Starting deep and moody, it gradually builds with layer upon layer of cut up vocal stabs and sub bass, licked with snares, into a dense and hypnotizing dancefloor groove. Completely addictive, this is happily T.'s favourite track from the album. On the flip, 'Galaga' is more obviously a techno cut created for the feet, engaging with acid bleeps and forceful beats. Named after one of T.'s favourite childhood arcade games, it conjures images of fighting spaceships and furious movement. Get your freak on."

Title:	A Guy Called Jack Album Remixes 1
Label:	GET PHYSICAL MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	GPM 031EP

Originally released Oct., 2005. With remixes from Joakim and Samim & Michal. "The second single from DJ T.'s passion-drenched debut album features exciting remixes from the fast emerging talents of Joakim and Samim & Michal. Following on from the addictive cut 'Rising,' T. continues with his modern reinterpretation of his retro house, techno and disco influences. On the A-side, 'A Guy Called Jack' is an homage to old Trax records and classic Chicago house. The Joakim remix of 'A Guy Called Jack' experiments with the original aesthetic T. aimed for, reinterpreting it in a more laidback manner. Swiss producers Samim & Michal, hail from Jay Haze's Tuning Spork stable -- heir self-declared aim is to put the bling into minimal electro house. For their remix of 'A Guy Called Jack' they create the kind of deep groove that you want to absorb endlessly."

Title:	Funk On You Remixes
Label:	GET PHYSICAL MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	GPM 033EP

Originally released Sept, 2005. With remixes from Manhead and Putsch 79. "On the original of 'Funk On You' DJ T. swirls electro funk, disco and Italo fragments into an organic-sounding whole complete with breathy stabs and handclaps. With vocals inspired by Tom Tom Club, he creates a tongue-in-cheek party vibe. The two remixers DJ T. has chosen have a finger on the modern disco pulse, as was his original intention with 'Funk On You.' Robbie Insinna takes two guises; Headman for the more nu wave, rock-influenced productions and Manhead for the more disco, Italo-inspired, electro sounds. His Manhead's 'Robi's Rave' remix sounds like in the middle between these two alter egos, it features low sub bass and clicking hi-hats from the off combing with thumping drums and all the original vocal parts. Flipping over, Putsch 79 also takes things more forward than we might commonly expect with a percussive heavy remix. Grooving disco beats and looped melody meet slapping percussion and beguiling space sounds, to entice us out for dancefloor mayhem."

Title:	Ambush
Label:	GET PHYSICAL MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	GPM 038EP

On "Ambush," DJ T. updates the disco groove with his darker modern edge. Here it's all about the low end, as layers of ominous, undulating sub bass throb away underneath snappy percolating rhythms. As it builds, heavy bass and shards of edgy synth are interchanged and arranged into a playful bleepy groove. "Stalker" sees T. moving back into old skool house territory for a thoroughly modern assault on the dancefloor. A driving kick and hi-hats are backed up with signature DJ T. finger snaps over tingling atmospheres. The warm, hypnotic bassline keeps you locked in growling FX, moody pads and a trippy xylophone build to a bubbling crescendo.

Title:	Lucky Bastard
Label:	GET PHYSICAL MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	GPM 065EP

Get Physical co-founder DJ T. aka Thomas Koch releases his long-awaited first solo 12" taken from his forthcoming album, expected in the summer of 2007. "Lucky Bastard" jacks freshly along to the sound of a cut-up vocal, glitchy percussion, deep building chords and a soaring bassline. Berlin's Prosumer takes the track to a deeper area. As the brooding riff and spiraling acid lines come to the fore, his unique use of rhythm and hissing percussion take it to another level. Finally, T.'s own "Disaster Dub" puts forth tight metallic drums that shuffle towards a series of dramatic, chord-driven breakdowns.

Title:	The Dawn Remixes
Label:	GET PHYSICAL MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	GPM 075EP

DJ T.'s The Dawn first appeared in early 2007, and now it's time for the remixes. First up, T. himself tackles "Jam Pot." The original was a warm and jazz-inflected take on deep minimal house, and T. retains this essence for the new version, placing different emphasis on the percussion, messing with the structure of the track, and pinching and squeezing certain elements to make it a more robust dancefloor proposition. For a fresh treatment of "The Dawn," Woody, the legendary former resident DJ at Berlin's E-Werk, draws upon the spirit of classic Berlin club music while embracing the deep, melodic minimalism which is the sound of its most discerning clubs today. This is an after-party epic.

Title:	Outbreak
Label:	GET PHYSICAL MUSIC (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.50
Catalog #:	GPM 096EP

Born out of sessions with Matthias Tanzmann, "Outbreak" affirms DJ T.'s ideals of groove and melody. The stripped-down version on the A-side was conceived after the "True School Mix" -- its sleek, percussive funk proved to be a real people-mover on the dancefloor. Though undeniably moody and sonically streamlined, "Outbreak" has all the bump and sparkle of classic house, and shows T.'s knack for locating the seeds of the future in the fertile soil of the past.

Title:	After Dark
Label:	POKER FLAT (GERMANY)
Format:	12"
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	PFR 099EP

DJ T. aka Thomas Koch, has been a main-player in Germany's house and techno scene for over two decades. From his forward-thinking productions on his own Get Physical, to the high-standard-setting Groove Magazine, first published in 1989 -- of which he is still the publisher, T is a huge force. "After Dark" is a shuffling trip that phases between warm percussion and soft robot synth lines. "Before Light" has chunky bass energy and an irresistible, worthy groove. Deep.
