Though they've spent the last couple years mixing, remixing, being remixed, and, uh, being sampled by will.i.am, it's been a little while since Booka Shade's Movements, their last full-length of twitchy, funky Berlin microhouse, came out in 2006.

But Booka Shade are back and as luminescent as ever, if Get Physical's May 27 release of their third LP The Sun & The Neon Light is any indication. The album will be released as a regular CD and as a limited edition double CD, which will contain an extra disc of "club versions" of the album's tracks. The added tracks will also be available digitally.

The double-A-side single for "City Tales" and "Planetary" is available now.

Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier will hit the touring circuit pretty much all spring and summer, and, wouldn't you know it? Their fellow Get Physical label co-founders M.A.N.D.Y. are, too. Feast your eyes on just gads of dancing opportunities below the jump.
