Get Physical Musicmakes 100.

Popular tech house label Get Physical Music will celebrate their 100th release in November 26th.
The imprint is set to do it in style with a release that will pit some of their most famous artists against one another in what the label is calling "battle tracks." As a result, you'll get to hear M.A.N.D.Y. facing off Booka Shade, resident English weirdoes Italoboyz vs resident French weirdoes Nôze and many more. As we know from Get Physical's fifth birthday compilation, this is one imprint that doesn't shy away from celebration—with good music attached—so expect some of these tracks to transcend the novelty "battle" tag and actually find their way into the boxes of top-flight DJs, including perhaps any of the three tracks that will be available as digital-only supplements to the vinyl release.

Tracklist:
A M.A.N.D.Y vs Booka Shade - Donut
B1 Italoboyz vs Nôze - Double Trouble
B2 Dakar vs Siopis - Dubai
C DJ T. vs Thomas Schumacher – May Contain Nuts
D1 LOPAZZ vs Heidi - Funkshovel
D2 Einzelkind vs Meat - Gin

Digital only:
Patrice Bäumel vs Caitlin Devlin – 7 days
Djuma Soundsystem vs Raz Ohara – Zillion Lights
Tiger Stripes vs Audiofly - Hundra

Piemont. The Strange Worlds Beyond

Piemont is set to release their debut full-length on My Best Friend early next year. The album, titled Strange Worlds Beyond, will feature new and unreleased tracks from the duo of Christian de Jonquières and Frederic Moering-Sack. That's a surprise, considering the boys have put out three 12-inches on the imprint in 2008 alone. But they've also included some of their club hits to garnish the new joints: "Black Smoker," "Superheated," "Carbonat" and "Central Mouth" are all set to appear on the CD, which includes 14 tracks altogether. The sound, as you might expect, is mighty similar to their work on the label thus far—"funky rocking moments of clubbiness" is the term that the press notes use—along with some moments of distinctly abstract beat-driven fare like "Loss of Focus" and emotional techno like "Died Out."
