Get Digital is off to a blazing start after the first well received releases. Now we are proud to invite the veteran Thomas Schumacher. His two distinctive orchestrations are sure to love up the dance every time. Precisely layered percussion, meticulously situated effects and drums tuned with minutiae detail are the backbone of 'Picanha', but the groove comes courtesy of the Schumacher Brass Orchestra. 'Late Night Thing' is a safari through a forest teaming with the echoes of mammals in the trees creating swirling effects, insect-like shuffling high hats and rotund toms all rhythmically going "bump" in the night. What a sizzling release from Thomas Schumacher, that just continues to solidify Get Digital as just a prominent label as its big sister, Get Physical.

FABRIC INTERVIEW It's not often that two people discover a friendship as special as the Berlin-based creative duo M.A.N.D.Y. (Patrick Bodmer and Philipp Jung). Two kindred souls drawn to one another at a young age, throughout their many harmonious years of acquaintance they've shared complementary callings in life. The first call rang when Patrick's family moved from Zurich to Saarbrücken at the age of 15; his friendship with Philipp was immediate and vibrant, and the inseparable pair immersed themselves in sports, compilation tapes, Tears For Fears and Janis Joplin records. Individually, Philipp kept busy shirking his keyboard lessons and borrowing his friend's drum kit, while Patrick delved deeply into art and painting. When some older friends filled their stereos with Chicago mixtapes and the sounds of early acid house in the late 80's, their lifelong obsessive love with electronica began. It was only a short matter of time before their lives were overtaken: days spent in record shops revolved into bright nights in Frankfurt's glittery clubs and parties, weeks bled into months. University pulled them apart as the years flew by, both heading to different cities to pursue their studies (Patrick in Frankfurt studying economics, Philipp in Switzerland to study hotel and ...

Thomas Koch aka DJ T. / Biography For almost twenty years Thomas Koch – DJ T. – has been a vital part of the techno and house scene. In a range of different capacities: among others, Koch worked and works as a DJ, producer, promoter, club operator, publisher and journalist. In 2005, he relocated from Frankfurt to Berlin. Blame it all on the disco ball. Born in 1969 in the city of Dusseldorf, at the tender age of nine Koch succumbed to the glistening seduction of black vinyl. By this time, his family had moved to Frankfurt, ‘disco’ had reached its zenith and Koch’s parents continued to ply him with early vinyl compilations, triggering what would become a serious and lifelong collection streak. T.’s burgeoning obsession went beyond disco and hi N-R-G – Village People, Donna Summer and Evelyn Thomas were soon followed by early rap music (via Grandmaster Flash) and finally – from 1983 – electro funk and its seminal protagonists Afrika Bambaataa, Planet Patrol, Newcleus and Mantronix. Their tracks had everything Koch craved: glam, funk, beats and bass. They were the soundtrack to a new dance culture. To Koch, this was love at first sight and he decided to ...

Mixing expertise with innovation, combining her powerful voice with a dazzling stage presence, Mea pioneers a new place for women in the dj world. Her bold style and turntable mastery prompted DMA magazine to hail this petite performer "The Madonna of the New Millennium" on its July 2001 cover. In an always exciting show this dynamic diva combines live freestyle vocals over a versatile set ranging from progressive-tech house to intelligent breaks, as well as introducing new singles with catchy lyrics written by Mea herself. Although she spent several dedicated years in Chicago launching her career, she now travels worldwide from a home base in Los Angeles. She grew up in a musical household: her father has always been Mea's foremost source of inspiration. From her youth Mea was schooled in violin, guitar, drums, dance, and, of course, voice; but she gives strong females like Madonna credit for motivating her to take on music as a career. One considerable obstacle was earning the right to be taken seriously as a female in the dj profession. She is proud to have long since overcome doubts and will never again be underestimated, due to the skills that surpass pretty packaging, and ...

Sven Vath is the epitome of the German "global player." His name is inseparable from the German club scene of the nineties. Vath's albums like "Accident in Paradise" and "The Harlekin, The Robot, & The Ballet Dancer" are landmarks of contemporary electronic music. He has a new album out, "Contact" which includes the heralded cut "Your Sweat. "It is a bridge between the eighties and now" says Vath. "For me, it refers directly to the music bands like DAF did then, without it being all retro, though. For a lot of people, sweat is something quite unsavory. I find dancing sweat very erotic. It means intensity and it's the perfect image for letting go, for succumb-ing to the mood." German DJ/musician Sven Vath is truly one of the driving forces behind modern electronic music. His label, Harthouse, is responsible for unleashing many highly creative artists, including SpiceLab, Hardfloor, and Speedy J. As a DJ, his legendary marathon sets have received acclaim around the world. In addition, Vath creates his own innovative music. Buy Artist Releases:

But the bright lights of the Big City beckoned to her, and at the soonest opportunity, Jillian took flight towards those lights. First to New York, then to Los Angeles, Paris, London and Milan as she became caught up in the high velocity world of high fashion and haute couture.
