Last year's Get Physical party at Studio A was perhaps the most talked about party and M.A.N.D.Y. was largely responsible for that. This year Patrick Bodmer and Philipp Jung return to kick some more Miami ass at the Get Physical 2 party as well as Ultra Music Festival. So before we let them here our bodies talk (sorry, I had to), Miami Night's asked Jung a few questions about their appearance at Ultra, the Get Physical party and more!
MN: Last year's Get Physical party during WMC was one of the most talked about parties. What do you think is it about the Berlin and Get Physical sound that people love?
PJ: WE WERE QUITE A BUNCH A PEOPLE AT THIS PARTY. OUR PHYSICAL CREW WITH ALL THE FRIENDS, THE BARCLAY (CLAUDE VAN STROKE) POSSE, THEN DIXON, EVERYBODY INVITED SOME NICE FRIENDS, SO THERE WAS ALREADY A SOLID PARTY CROWD TO GET THE PARTY GOING. AND THEN THERE WERE A LOT OF WONDERFUL PEOPLE SUPPORTING OUR EVENT! THINGS LIKE THIS YOU CAN'T REALLY EXPLAIN! THE GUYS LIKE ADAM [AND DIEGO] AND OUR AGENT JOEL ZIMMERMANN DID A VERY GOOD JOB PROMOTING THE NIGHT. SO IT ALL WENT RIGHT!
MN: Can we expect any new material from you in 2008 through the Get Physical label?
PJ: WE JUST CAME BACK FROM ICELAND WHERE WE DID SOME NEW MUSIC WITH OUR FRIEND LOPAZZ. WE GONNA CARRY ON WORKING ON THESE TRACKS FOR QUITE A WHILE. I KEEP THE FINGERS CROSSED.
MN: You'll also be playing Day 1 of Ultra Music Festival. Anyone in particular you hope to catch will you are there?
PJ: IT'S ALWAYS VERY NICE TO SEE ALL YOUR DJ FRIENDS YOU HAVEN'T SEEN FOR QUITE A WHILE. SO THERE'S NOBODY IN PARTICULAR, BUT IT WILL BE A BLAST. PATRICK AND ME ARE SHARING A NICE HOUSE WITH EWAN PEARSON, HEIDI AND KONRAD BLACK. SOUNDS LIKE FUN TO ME.
MN: What kind of equipment do you use while DJing?
PJ: PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE RANGE. SERATO, CYCLE LOOP, VINYL AND CDS. AND OUR BRAIN I HOPE.
MN: What else can we expect from M.A.N.D.Y. in '08?
PJ: AS WRITTEN WORKING ON THE ALBUM OR AT LEAST ON SOME NEW TRACKS. TRAVELLING LIKE CRAZY AGAIN AND PUTTING LOTS OF WORK AND THOUGHTS INTO THE LABEL. THAT SHOULD KEEP US BUSY.
You can catch M.A.N.D.Y. Thursday, March 27 at the Get Physical party at Studio A; and Friday, March 28 at the Beatport party the National Hotel as well as Day 1 of Ultra Music Festival.
