DJs pick their final song

quote:
What song would you want to hear on your deathbed or at your funeral? A morbid question, for sure, but it's one that Get Physical recently asked of some of the world's top DJs to come up with the compilation Final Song #1.

The #1 in that title implies that there will be plenty more to come, but the first volume has plenty of heavy-hitters including the likes of Richie Hawtin, Ricardo Villalobos, Kevin Saunderson and Fran�ois K. Each has seemingly gone in completely different directions, with DJ T. opting for the proto ambient piano work of Erik Satie, David Holmes selecting a classic Beach Boys tune and Chlo� picking one of her own.

And while many of these tunes may be well-known, the fun part is perhaps in reading what each artist has to say about their pick�something that will hopefully be included in the liner notes to the eventual CD release. In the press notes for the release, for example, Ewan Pearson justifies his choice thusly: "Peggy Lee had her second big hit with this song in which Lieber and Stoller turn a Thomas Mann short story into an existential justification for lives spent in nightclubs and soaked with booze. I hope it would raise a wry smile among my loved ones, and the sentiment is actually pretty wise�your present life is all you have so best enjoy it!"

Tracklist
01. Erik Satie - 1. Gymnop�die (Selected by DJ T.)
