Outfit's circling record. Get down! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

depress

'get down' is the definition.
(depressing is a kind of getting down)

'outfit's circling record' is the wordplay.
'outfit' becomes 'dress' (I've seen this in other clues).
'circling' means one lot of letters goes inside another (circling can mean going around or containing).
'record' becomes 'ep'.
'dress' going around 'ep' is 'DEPRESS'.

(Other definitions for depress that I've seen before include "Cause to feel dispirited" , "Push down or lower the spirit" , "Bring down" , "Sadden" , "Push down or dispirit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
