TRACKLIST:
A Roland Leesker - Respect
B Roland Leesker - Respect (Robert Hood Remix)
SHORT INFO:
Roland Leesker has kept the legendary Get Physical label right at the forefront of the scene in his years at the helm. His music has been a small but vital part of that: he doesn't release often, but when he does it is timeless house music that always makes its mark. As well as a steady stream of singles, he also curated and mixed the crucial 20 x Get Physical compilation back in 2022. He has collaborated with greats of the scene like DJ Pierre, Roland Clark and Terrence Parker and will soon serve up his latest sonic statement with new full-length 'Searching For Peace' which will arrive in August following two more singles after this one.
The brilliant 'Respect' is a spritely and serene deep techno journey. The shimmering chords echo early Detroit techno and the supple drums are packed with warmth and bounce. Together they make for a cut that subtly uplifts as it unfolds in an engaging fashion over seven fantastic minutes.
Remixer Robert Hood is one of the foundational figures of techno. The Motor City innovator works under his own name and as Floorplan and has mastered the art of seductive loops, whether making stripped-back minimal or gospel-laced house. Here, he flips 'Respect' into a thumping and emotionally intense cut with faster drums than the original but just as much machine soul and a little extra texture in the percussion.

Shortinfo
Roland Leesker makes another essential outing on Get Physical with new single 'No Way Out.' Landing on vinyl and digital, it comes with remixes from Detroit heroes Scan7 and the multi-faceted Francesco Tristano.
Leesker most recently appeared on the mighty Get Physical with his collaborative Roland Clark release 'WTF!' last summer and with his superb cover of 'Crazy' towards the close of the year. Now he is back with what could be his most significant release to date, a record co-produced with Neil Barber at Hot Kitchen Studios in Berlin.
'No Way Out' is a classically informed house tune with jacking drums and warm, rich basslines. An old school, Chicago-style male vocal brings a sense of edginess while twitchy synths and smooth chords are sure to get hands in the air.
Motor City collective Scan7 is a perfect choice to remix. They bring all the fearlessness, electronic soul, and staunchly underground sounds that have made them scene icons for 20 years. Their superb remix is deep and dynamic. Synth strings bring a sense of soul and serenity, glossy pads layer in human emotions, and the drums brim with vitality.
Francesco Tristano is a pianist and composer who always brings elegance to his music. He draws on a classical and jazz understanding to cook up experimental electronic music for the likes of InFine, Deutsche Grammophon and Sony Classical. He flips the track into a seductive piece of minimalism. The scuffed hi-hats, broken drums, and louche chords add up to a graceful, floating rhythm. It suspends you in mid-air as a female voice whispers and giggles in your ear with a playful sense of charm.
The 'No Way Out' package is a masterclass in house music that joins authentic roots with fresh future styles.

Tracklist
A1. Thunderstorm AA1. Thunderstorm (Cardopusher Remix) AA2. Thunderstorm (Dschinn Mix)
Shortinfo:
Two years after his last outing on Get Physical, Roland Leesker returns to the label of
which he is Managing Director with a brilliant new track that comes with a remix from
Cardopusher. Leesker has only put out a select few releases over the last 15 years-both solo and
as DJ Carrera and R&R with none other than Ricardo Villalobos-but he has a truly
fully formed sound. This tune has been doing serious damage in the clubs for a while
now and makes you wonder why Leesker doesn't release more!
Entitled 'Thunderstorm' it is seven minutes plus of moody and dramatic tech with heavy
synth clouds, whining machines and turbulent drums all whipping up a storm. Manic
keys and heavy chords come in and out as fizzing textures all make it a real synapse
firing affair that is designed to arrest the attention of huge crowds, and it sure will do
that. Venezuelan born Cardopusher has a diverse and experimental sound that takes him
from techno to electro to acid to rave to house on labels like Super Rhythm Trax, Zone
and BNR. Here he masterfully cooks up another frenzied track with spraying acid,
heavy, marching and industrial drums and a real sense of rave energy that will dazzle
as much as delight in any set.
Finally, Leesker offers up his own 'Dschinn mix' providing even more raw energy.
Angry drum rolls, stomping kicks and huge hi hats all piled up and force you onto
action. It's a superbly metallic, in your face track to wake up a crowd in the late night
hours. With this EP, Get Physical's sensational 2017 keeps on getting better.

Infotext:
Over two decades ago, Roland Leesker would play and produce with artists that are legends today. Slaving away with Ricardo Villalobos in his living room, creating loops with John Selway at New York´s Satellite basement, working as a light jockey for Joe Jam and Marc Spoon, cooking the heat together with Cajmere and ATA at the Wild Pitch Club, or running various record shops around the globe. Since then, he's invested much of his time, knowledge, heart and soul into electronic music to further the scene and support the art. Now, he's returned to the studio with his production partner Philipp Maier also known as Sante to bring you a new instant classic, 'My Warehouse' In a way, you could say 'My Warehouse' has been in the making for 25 years. In that time Roland Leesker has studied the music, gathering inspiration from the sounds, people and experiences along the way and putting them all together to create his perfect sound. 'My Warehouse' is a bass-laden House killer, with intense kicks and a gritty, in-your-face bassline. The first exclusive vinyl release will feature remixes from friends he met along the 25 year journey; techno-prince Chris Liebing delivers an edit of Cardopusher´s sexy remix, as well as the original. Remixes from M.A.N.D.Y. and DJ T. are currently underway and expected soon.
