M.A.N.D.Y.

Patrick Bodmer (Patrick Bodmer) and Philipp Jung (Philipp Jung) have known each other for many years since childhood, forming a wonderful creative partnership. Their DJ career began in the 1980s, when the future stars spent days and nights in Frankfurt's record shops and bustling clubs. University separated them—Patrick moved to Switzerland while Philipp stayed in Germany. They soon reunited. In 1995, the young DJs began organizing their own parties with wild but highly artistic show programs. They love recounting how they rented venues with their own money, personally hung colorful lights, and brought live trees from a neighboring park, then cleaned everything themselves afterward. One day they realized over 1000 people had come to their party—all personal invitations from Patrick and Philipp. Philipp soon joined Logic Records, promoting the hugely popular group Snap, then signed with Jive Records to work with producers Walter Merziger and Arno Kammermeier, known as Booka Shade. They invited Patrick, and the four began developing new sounds and shows. M.A.N.D.Y. collaborated with many leading German house projects and gradually gained global recognition. Philipp's record label Arno & Walter grew through experience, intuition, creativity, and exceptional networking. The founders became stars themselves and now enthusiastically promote emerging talent. Their 2004 Get Physical compilation delighted house and techno fans worldwide. "Body Language" remains a dancefloor staple. Their sound impresses, astounds, and resonates deeply. The duo now boasts 25 signature tracks and countless memorable events.
