What song would you want played at your funeral? OK, it’s a morbid question, but it is a certain event and it’s one party you wont be able to attend, but it’s a question that Get Physical recently asked of some of the world’s top DJs to come up with answer to. The result, a new compilation — ‘Final Song #1′.

The first volume has plenty of names, featuring the likes of Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier, Ricardo Villalobos, François K and DJ Storm. Each has also gone in completely different directions with their selections — DJ T. opts for the proto-ambient piano work of Erik Satie and Hawtin selects a beautiful number by Mark Pritchard which has incidentally been re-released on Hawtin’s own Plus 8 imprint in recent years.

Tracklist
01. Erik Satie – 1. Gymnopédie (Selected by DJ T.)
02. Rob Gallagher – Little One (Selected by Gilles Peterson)
03. Photek – Modus Operandi (Selected by Storm)
