The Don of Detroit techno steps to the plate for the latest edition of Get Physical's Body Language mix series. Dear does a masterful job of bridging the gap between the Detroit techno sounds he's known for and the driving Berlin sounds commonly found on Get Physical. You might say "Hey man, it's all unt-se unt-se to me," and I will say to you "Wrong! Listen again." The mix spans from minimal to techno (original flavor) to deep house and includes tracks by Kalabrese, Sascha Dive, Johnny D, Prompt, DJ Koze, I:Cube, Seth Troxler & Patrick Russel, as well as a brand new Matthew Dear exclusive entitled "Free To Ask." 20 tracks, 75 minutes total.
