Get Physical Music keeps the summer soundtrack coming with Makossa & Megablast and Cleydys Villalon's 'Cuerpo', out now on the label.

Organic House with a soulful twist, the original mix layers warm percussion, hypnotic bass and Cleydys Villalon's floating vocal lines. Everything breathes and builds, with a rolling breakdown that pulls the floor back in before the drums land again.

The package also comes with an Indie Disco Wobble Dub and remixes from Ottinger and FLAVOR, each taking the track into their own late-night territory.

This one marks the first Get Physical appearance for all three artists involved. Makossa & Megablast's last outing in the desk's records was on Stripped Down Records in September 2019 with the Kunuaka Remixes Part 2.

The label said

Makossa & Megablast join up with Cleydys Villalon for a stellar new single on Get Physical Music. An Indie Disco Wobble Dub and Ottinger & FLAVOR remix complete the package.

Viennese duo Marcus Wagner-Lapierre and Sascha Weisz, aka Makossa & Megablast, have been honing their craft for almost 20 years, working on two albums, multiple EPs, and remixes on the likes of G-Stone Recordings, International Deejay Gigolo Records, and Megablast’s own label, Luvlite Recordings. Their unique blend of dub, Afro house, electro, and indie has been enhanced by their frequent collaborations with the accomplished Cuban singer Cleydys Villalon, a partnership that continues with this new single.

The release came about after Makossa & Megablast discovered an old gem from 2012 on their hard drives. It featured Villalon, who they had already worked with on their anthemic 'Soy Como Soy'. During a trip to the stunning Santa Teresa in Costa Rica, Weisz was invited to perform at the picturesque Ranchitos Itauna where he played this track and ranch owner Peter Ottinger was so captivated he asked for a copy. A few weeks later, Philipp Jung from Get Physical performed at the same venue and upon hearing Ottinger play the track, he immediately fell in love with it and contacted Megablast to sign it to Get Physical Music.

Opener 'Cuerpo' is six minutes of soul-drenched deep house. The smoky female vocals are angelic and alluring as they swirl next to delicate keys over warming drums. It's a lush world of sound with meaningful synth work casting a fine spell. The Indie Disco Wobble Dub brings more driving drums and psyched-out synth arps. They flip the mood into more edgy and late-night territory before trippy melodies rise up through the mix like reverse rain. Last of all is the Ottinger & FLAVOR Itaúna Sound Movement Remix, which is sleek house with zoned-out vocals and exotic melodic

flavours for summer dancing.
