Tomorrow night Godskitchen Worldwide proudly presents M.A.N.D.Y. in a very special GK Christmas Angel Party at Club Bonbon, Shanghai.
This kicks off an entire week of nonstop holiday festivities with M.A.N.D.Y the co-owners of the hugely successful record label Get Physical Music.
The Berlin-based duo is the brainchild of Philipp David Jung and Patrick Bodmer, who formed M.A.N.D.Y. in 2000 and have since been responsible for producing massive anthems like "Body Language" with labelmate Booka Shade.
Their self-titled mix album was recently voted No. 1 compilation of the year.
Their current tour of Asia takes them to Shanghai, Hong Kong, Beijing and Tokyo in support of their forthcoming mix CD Fabric 38 released on the London super club Fabric's record label.
In 2002, M.A.N.D.Y. and Booka Shade moved to Berlin seeking a new creative kick.
What they found was a confluence of artists and ideas, and a constant shower of music that washed over and immersed them.
It was productive, intense and satisfying.
Living and working together, their strong relationship provided the perfect foundation for future growth.
Since the creation of the label, M.A.N.D.Y. have come into their own as artists and DJs.
Their natural easy friendship allowed their skills to gradually flourish and their heartfelt excitement for what they do ignites every floor.
Mixing the first "Get Physical" label compilation in 2004 sent their sound beyond Europe and they were sought after as remixers working with artists as diverse as The Knife, Seelenluft, the Sugababes, Hans Peter Lindstrom and Fisherspooner.
The Godskitchen Angel Party is a monthly event showcasing some of the most captivating acts in electronic dance music today.
Previous performances by leading DJs and producers from around the globe including co-owner of Get Physical Music DJ T, and sold out performances by recording mavericks Richie Hawtin, Roger Sanchez, Erick Morillo and groundbreaking acts like Claude Vonstroke, Simian Mobile Disco and 2manyDJs have made the GK Angel Party the not-to-miss Friday event of the month.
