Helsloot - Body Language Vol. 27

Get Physical Music proudly announces the return of its landmark Body Language series with Volume 27, curated by Dutch producer Helsloot. The album will be released on November 14th, with a launch event on November 13th at Amsterdam’s Melkweg.

At the heart of Get Physical’s ethos has been Body Language, a cultural marker within electronic music for over two decades making it one of the longest-standing and impactful mix series tied to a label. Each volume a deliberate projection serving as both clubland cartography and singular artistic perspective.

What began as a pioneering DJ mix series has evolved into a platform for artist albums, each edition offering a snapshot of underground currents and their future directions. Past curators have included Dixon, DJ Hell, WhoMadeWho, Francesco Tristano, Monkey Safari, Yulia Niko, and the label’s founders Booka Shade, DJ T., and M.A.N.D.Y..

Since its founding in 2002, Get Physical has embodied a taut, moving aesthetic; when the European electronic sound was fragmenting, the label balanced on the argumentative axis of club culture with Body Language serving not only as archival, but as a unifying thread.

“The Body Language series has always been about capturing a moment in club culture while pointing towards its future. With Helsloot, we felt the timing was perfect. His sound resonates with today’s global melodic movement, but he brings a depth and emotional clarity that feels true to the spirit of Get Physical. Volume 27 not only honors the legacy of the series but also positions it for a new generation of fans, both on the dancefloor and beyond.” (Philipp Jung - Get Physical Music)

An early platform for cross-genre experimentation, Body Language has long celebrated the permeability of dance music. From Matthew Dear’s minimalist pop fusions to WhoMadeWho’s blend of disco and indie aesthetics, each edition has expanded the vocabulary of what club music can be.

That willingness to stretch the form is part of why both Get Physical and Body Language continue to resonate today.

Volume 27 marks a significant moment in the series’ progression. Helsloot brings his emotive, melodic house sound to the format; a style that has earned him over 600 million streams on his breakout track “Because You Move Me” with Tinlicker, as well as releases on Anjunadeep, Domino, This Never Happened, and Ritter Butzke. His debut album “Never Tried” (2024) displayed his melodic instincts and further positioned him as a producer capable of balancing precision with deep emotional resonance.

‘When I was asked to do a 'Body Language' album I was very honored. To be able to scroll through their archive that holds all these classics is incredible. It also felt like the perfect opportunity to try out some new sounds”. (Helsloot)

With Body Language Vol. 27, Helsloot delivers a cohesive artistic statement—an album that captures the emotional intensity of melodic house while honoring Get Physical’s enduring commitment to movement, emotion, and the language of the body.

Body Language Vol. 27, curated by Helsloot, will be released on November 14th via Get Physical Music. Tickets for the launch event on November 13th at Amsterdam’s Melkweg are available now.
