Celebrating seminal underground German label 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 '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!

Acting under the collective moniker M.A.N.D.Y.,Patrick Bodmer and Philipp Jung are the co-founders of the label whove been turning heads and spiking ears the world over. Their definitive sound is considered the hallmark in the global popularity of tech house and electro from the past 3 years with producers ever looking to emulate the dynamic duos creativity, vision and passion. Their ability to produce the contemporary sounds of electro and tech house behind the decks and in the studio has revealed them as dancefloor heroes for the 21st century! Their list of remixes reads like a who's who of cool-as-fuck artists about town, including the likes of Tiefschwarz, The Knife, Fisherspooner, Seelenluft, Joakim and Free Form Five

Get Physical Volume II 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. Album also features there brilliant track "Body Language" produced in tandem with label partners, Booka Shade. This record received accolades across genres and from around the world for its purity, simplicity, not to mention intoxicating bassline.

Looking to the future and providing a reminder of their recent achievements, this 'Fourth Anniversary Compilation' shows that after four years, this label still knows how to keep it physical !!
