24 Songs in 24 Hours With Physical Therapy

The finest in "drum n’ space, dream house, and 3-step."

Yes! Finally it's here. On September 9 the mysterious Urban Cowboy of New Jersey will drop his new three-track EP, White Label. The EP is Physical Therapy's second EP since his debut on NYC's Hippos in Tanks, and this time he's coming at us via Sinden's Grizzly imprint all the way over in Londontown. We can expect the finest in "drum n' space, dream house, and 3-step."

The best thing about Physical Therapy is that you can never tell where his head's at. One day he is posting an edit of Moby and the next day he is tweeting about his favorite Alicia Keys song—then you will go see him DJ and he'll play some weird trance radio hit that you haven't heard since that one time you turned on the radio at 5AM when you were 17 because you couldn't sleep after sneaking out your window to go to some suburban basement rave. So I asked him about a day in his life, and he gave me answers in soundtrack form.
