We recorded this video last night in the hotel room in Montreal after the gig, whilst waiting for the bus driver to show up to drive us to NYC.

As you can see, everybody is in good spirits, but the conversation is a bit random.

Heidi and Philipp from M.A.N.D.Y. recorded this video diary update in Montreal outside Tribe Hyperclub, the poshest club we’ve been to on tour.

They were selling 12L bottles of Moët & Chandon for $4500.

“We’ve done so much underground parties in shitty techno warehouses so it’s quite nice to arrive to a very clean and posh club,” explained Philipp.

Our friends Resident Advisor had a photographer at Beta in Denver to track the festivities while Get Physical was at the helm of the decks.

Of course, with the Beatport and Beatportal HQ right here in Denver, we’re all delighted to see everything documented so well.

The intenseness of touring, Get Physical style

Last night in Toronto it kicked off on the Get Physical tour bus at around 4am.

Patrick from M.A.N.D.Y. wanted to stay in Toronto for an afterparty, but the bus driver had been told it would be a 4am bus call so he wanted to leave.

Everybody threw in their two cents with the crew falling on both sides, and Anthony from Audiofly came bounding up to Industry Boy (I was a little drunk) and said: “If anyone can rescue this situation it’s you, the tour manager.”

I was about to tell him to bugger off, but realised he was probably right so I negotiated with both camps, apologised to the driver and finally we all calmed down.

Eventually the bus started on its way down the dark, forest-lined roads of Canada towards Montreal.

If the Get Physical tour bus had been a reality TV show, the in-house psychologist would have had a field day.

The Get Physical arm roll

One thing I’ve noticed about both of the M.A.N.D.Y. boys - they always roll up one sleeve on their tshirt when they DJ.

“Tshirts look better like this,” explained Patrick one night, and since then we’ve all been doing the one arm tshirt roll as demonstrated in this pic.

For some reason, it just does look cooler. Weird.

Border police welcome Get Physical

“Sir, would you mind stepping inside here, please?” asked a uniformed and holstered police officer at the Canadian and United States border just now.

The room was a concrete box about 7ft by 10ft, with a wooden desk in the middle, bright fluorescent lights and a wooden bench at one end.

Audiofly, M.A.N.D.Y. and Heidi all squeezed onto the bench and the sight of five disheveled DJs in their pajamas having been dragged out of their bunk beds would have been hilarious, were it not for the four police officers standing in front of them with their hands on their hips.

There’s only one club in the world where clubbers sit down on the dancefloor to pay homage to DJs.

That club is DC10 in Ibiza, but last night in Woody’s in Philadelphia it happened thanks to the Get Physical crew.

Get Physical tour: Heidi’s bruises

Last night the DJ booth at Five in Washington DC was a cramped little spot, way up high above the dancefloor.

The only way to get to the DJ booth was up a tight metal spiral staircase out back, and for DJs carrying heavy record bags and CD wallets, it’s a bit like walking a gauntlet of death, as Heidi found out when the club closed.

As she was carrying her record bag down the stairs, her heel got caught in the metal grill and she fell ass over tit, smacking her knee into the staircase.

“I want to see the White House,” shouted Heidi, during lunch in Washington, D.C. yesterday.

So after lunch, we all piled into a cab to go and see the place where the president lives.

“You know, I saw the White House before, and I took my trousers down in front of it,” explained Patrick from M.A.N.D.Y. about a particular time when he was close to being arrested.

Top Track: Noze ‘You Have To Dance’

M.A.N.D.Y. blew away hundreds of clubbers at the Beatport Pool Party in Miami during the Winter Music Conference in March, and finished off their set with Noze ‘You Have To Dance’, a track that sounds like it was recorded by a bunch of drunk Bavarian beer drinkers.

At the time, Philipp from M.A.N.D.Y. told Beatportal that it was called ‘Dance With Me’, but the track is actually called ‘You Have To Dance’ [track No.5 in the player].

Either way, it’s a quality weird tech house tune, and we love it for its quirkiness.

The track comes from Noze’s brilliant new album ‘Songs On The Rocks’ which was released last week.

Check out a video of M.A.N.D.Y. dropping ‘You Have To Dance’, and then check out the album in the player below.

Huge!

Get Physical meets their bus

“What the fuck is this?!” shouted Heidi last night at the Underbar club in Boston during her set.

She pointed at the DJ set up, which admittedly did look quite odd but nothing out of the ordinary, until she pointed out the turntables were actually bouncing as they were on springs.

A line above some metal grills on the DJ booth noted the ‘sound was by Angel Morales’.

Get Physical’s set for Sunday night soiree in Boston

“Have you met the bus driver yet?” Heidi asked, as she came bounding into the hotel lobby in Boston just a minute a go.

The Get Physical crew’s plane out of Denver was delayed so they’ve only just arrived in the city with just a couple of hours till Heidi is due to start spinning in Underbar Super Lounge at 275 Tremont St, Boston.

Patrick and Philipp from M.A.N.D.Y. followed up behind her dragging their record bags into the lobby. They embraced Industry Boy with another European hug.

“What’s the plan tonight my friend?” asked Patrick, as he headed towards the elevator.

“I have to lie down on a horizontal bed right now, and I think I’ll get room service, but we play at 12,” he said, before getting his record bag stuck in the elevator door.
