Roland Leesker has been at the heart of Get Physical for almost 15 years. He has helped shape and define its house sounds, broken new artists, and curated hit releases. He is also a producer who has contributed many great solo cuts as well as in collaboration with greats of the scene such as DJ Pierre and Roland Clark. He now serves up his most complete and impressive body of work to date with ‘Searching for Peace,’ arriving on Get Physical August 30th.
Leesker’s musical journey began by cutting mix tapes of his favourite songs from the radio. The joy of finding danceable tracks from the early years of electronic music “made me feel very happy and peaceful and that gave me an early inspiration for what I wanted to do with my life.” Since then, he has continued to search out the perfect tracks, A&R innovative new artists and work closely with talents everywhere from Croatia to India to Africa and Brazil. Now, after putting so much time into the careers of others, “I thought it could be nice for a change to produce a few new tracks myself, focusing on what got me here in the first place: music and the joy it brings, creating it. So this is me, ‘Searching For Peace’.”
To commemorate this upcoming masterpiece, Get Physical’s Roland Leesker lends his seasoned touch to Select Cuts with a soaring and sophisticated mix. Enjoy!
