that interview is totally sweet:

Q: Perhaps something to help readers get their heads around it...what does M.A.N.D.Y stand for? Anything special or is it one of those in-label and studio jokes?

A: At the beginning we invented crazy stories about a girl called Mandy, but to be honest the name just came up and we thought it’s better than our real names. It was quite funny at the beginning when club promoters were expecting a hot babe to turn up and instead of two ugly boys.

aw i love them!

So then "Full Body Workout", what's the verdict?

Still taking it in, but first impressions, the Ralph Lawson remix is seriously great, like Voodoo Ray gone Italo.

like Voodoo Ray gone Italo

I was thinking more like instrumental New Order gone Soft Cell as produced by Black Strobe...

I found it on slsk Adam, so it should be ok. That Lawson remix is killing me, played it about 20 times last night!

But I had no idea the main synth hook from MANDY's "Don't Stop" is sampled from an old Italo song "Check-Out Five" by Naif Orchestra. It was released in '85 on the Fuzz Dance EP, which also contained "Problemes D'Amour."

the DJ T track on Mood Music is really good, the A-Side mainly.

I was so gonna go but I passed out in Lewisham instead!

I think Suck My Deck is very dependent on context, sometimes I find it sounds awesome and sometimes it does nothing for me. I always enjoy Death Disco though - I found it odd how you were saying that it was super-dry and technical etc. (that was what you were saying yeah?) but then I guess I focus more on stuff like the Paul Rutherford track and "TV Night" (one of the most amazing combinations in a DJ mix that i can think of) than say the Sweet Exorcist edit.

Jess did you ever download those Matt Coleridge mixes?

The Smagghe mixes are great!

i haven't gotten to the new tracks yet, but the remixes are all pretty weak. none of them outshine the originals.

HI JAYMC

I'm loving the new Kramer 12" (gpm 072) though, especially b2, El Pueblo De Bailar. It's got these giant siren/foghorn sounds that would be so great on the right soundsystem.

Booka Shade's "Unhealthy Pleasures": how do they manage to sound so deep and so pop at the same time?

Yay, thank you, Jergins!

'tickle' is great.

yes it is. 'karma car' is just so-so.

the kramer 12, playing this very second on the link I just put in minimal bobbins, is their best release in ages

Anyone heard M.A.N.D.Y.'s mix-cd for Mixmag? It's labelled as "Ibiza 2007" which is about right - it's very uptempo and fun. It's good but I miss the spacey quality which has characterised the last few mixes I've heard from them.

Yessssss.... This will hopefull make up for the 5th Anniversary SnoozeFest (taken from Resident Advisor):

Swiss DJ and producer Samim has often been part of a couple, first with Michal Ho as Samim & Michal, then later as part of Bearback and Fuckpony with Jay Haze, the latter of which was responsible for last year’s rated longplayer on Get Physical ‘Children of Love’. This year Samim has been stepping into the spotlight alone a little more, with a huge remix of Pier Bucci’s ‘Hay Consuelo’ and big solo gigs in London, Barcelona and Berlin. He’s also techno’s most enthusiastic blogger.

‘Flow’ promises Samim vocal tracks featuring Big Bully (‘Spring Break´), Middle Eastern percussion (‘Black Death´) and even touches of R&B (‘The Lick´ - billed as Timbaland in Berlin in the press notes).

‘Flow’ tracklist

1. Intro
2. Springbreak
3. Blackdeath
4. Heater
5. Ukaka
6. Setup One
7. Zleep
8. Force Feedback
9. The Lick

‘Flow’ by Samim will be released on Get Physical on September 7th, 2007.

Also the Monza Club Ibiza Vol. 2 comp looks good. Lazarus seems to have backed off from the forbidding minimal of his Get Lost mix a bit:

the second half of lazarus's disc is AMAZING, as is the whole of the dj t - functions a lot like heidi's monza mix last year, very hit-heavy and banging

in a way i feel sorry for the three or four really awesome tracks on the 5 year thing, buried away on this bizarrely terrible compilation

the lazarus mix.....isn't electrohouse gone?? that's what I thought when I saw the tracklist, it looks so SOLID, even more so than DJ T!

Re the 5th Anniversary Comp - Yeah I feel the same way - it's odd how boring most of the exclusives are! It's like a bad Poker Flat comp.

"the lazarus mix.....isn't electrohouse gone?? that's what I thought when I saw the tracklist, it looks so SOLID, even more so than DJ T!"

Yeah, and thank God to be honest. I spent ages and ages trying to fall in love with Get Lost and ultimately gave up. Although I'm tempted by Jamie Jones' follow-up.

That Get Lost mix was difficult alright, but those two discs do look a bit boring to me.

i listen to the CrowwtownRebels vol 01 mix a lot more than the Get Lost it has to be said. never bothered with Jamie J's - and now that Fopp has gone, the chances of seeing it in a shop have gone forever ! (they always had CrowwTownRebels stuff in .. )

that crosstown rebels mix was really awesome, such a gorgeous rush

totally with you there lex - and amazed you figured out what i was on about in my fucked post.

crowwtown

not once, but twice.
oh the shame.

i wasn't aware that i needed more accordion in my life, but then i heard 'heater'.

MANDY remixes comp is forthcoming.

Kanye sampling Daft Punk? pfft, whatever. just watch this clip of Will.I.Am previewing songs from his forthcoming album, wait for a few minutes 'til he gets to a track called "Get Your Money", and... hehe!

haha!/argh!

ethan is on record circa a few years ago sayin that the BEP are basically a euro popdance group so i'm not surprised at how housey this album sounds.

i like that italoboyz 12" a lot. it's not especially 'get physical' but what you gonna do.

what's this krautrock-style business they're putting out? anyone heard it properly?

I've heard this, it's very good! Bronnt are a Bristol act, kind of John Carpenter-style proto electro. The bloke behind it has done a FACT mixtape which gives a good idea of some of their influences, you can dl it and read an interview about the record here.

i miss mid 00s electrohouse ;_;

Me too.

I'll just have to satisfy myself with all these Lee Curtiss tracks, close enough to old Fuckpony for my purposes.

this has been my indian summer jam today

It seems sad to realise that by the time this thread was started peak Get Physical was already over.

This looks supa dupa obvious but I bet it's lots of fun:

I know an awful lot of that but almost everything I do know I love, and there's enough I don't know to make it an 'OMG want' type thing.

http://youtu.be/I00qzHX871Q

this was THE track of burning man 2012

as my good friend put it..

picture the scene... you're riding round the desert dressed as a pilot and you finally found the giant dragon shaped car you've been looking for the sun is coming up and the dj on the back of the dragon plays this song...
