  • Electrohouse duo M.A.N.D.Y. step up to the decks for the latest in the ‘At the Controls’ mix series. They’re also on tour in September and October. M.A.N.D.Y. isn’t a girl, it’s actually two grown men named Patrick Bodmer & Philipp Jung. Part of the Germany’s Get Physical stable, Bodmer met Jung on a tennis court twenty years ago, going on to release records on Frankfurt imprints and throw local parties as an excuse to expand their record collections. Later Patrick acquired an old brewery, an early incubator of ideas, and after scoring a residency at Club Monza in Frankfurt (which they’ve held since 2001) and hooking up with DJ T. and Booka Shade, the label Get Physical was born. The name? It’s a tribute to the dancefloor, to disco and to DJ T’s obsession with Olivia Newton-John. M.A.N.D.Y. have mixed two compilations on Get Physical including the acclaimed ‘Body Language’ from 2005. Although primarily DJs, perhaps M.A.N.D.Y. are best known for their track ‘Body Language’, a collaboration with Booka Shade which scored them ‘Ibiza Track of the Season 2005’ and has since been licensed to over 100 compilations. As remixers, they’ve also retooled The Knife, Lindstrom, Mylo, Royksopp, the Sugarbabes and Laurie Anderson. The new mix ‘At the Controls’ is on English label Resist and follows on from the critically acclaimed James Holden volume earlier this year. The double CD mixes 36 tracks from dancefloor innovators (Mathew Dear, Isolée, Alex Under, Dinky, Lindstrom, Ricardo Villalobos, Mathew Jonson) and a few oddballs out of leftfield (Michal Holy & Ajana Calugar, Rune Lindbaek and…Cat Stevens, aka Yusef Islam).
