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.
This special Christmas edition is no exception and is complete

limited Godskitchen gifts and giveaways.
