M.A.N.D.Y at the CompoundSF

M.A.N.D.Y’s style is choppy, sharp, with unbelievably fluid transitions, unexpected vocals, and (I thought I caught more than a few), old school glitch-techno sneaks. Minimalistic techno, served in a variety of flavors and constantly pumping your blood with another doze of adrenaline.

M.A.N.D.Y spins the type of techno you shouldn’t put on while driving switchbacks, as you would most certainly end up dead. It has that hard core edginess, just enough for you to take that turn a little faster, a little sharper, pushing the limit, taking the risk.

It’s a music of temptation, it has the kind of character that whispers and explores your desires. It appeals to your weaknesses and much like the enchanting music of Sirens, takes over your senses (one of which could be common sense)

Tempted to take your sexuality further? Play it.

Tempted to ride your motorcycle faster? Play it.

Tempted to to taste the forbidden fruit of your liking? Play it.

It will take you over the edge. I mean this as the utmost compliment to M.A.N.D.Y (Berlin based duo - Patrick Bodem and Philipp Jung).

I will say however, being a huge fan of moving my body as fast as I can for as long as I can on dance floor, M.A.N.D.Y’s Purple Heart was so layered and so complex, I found myself listening WAY more than dancing. There was something about the whole night that didn’t move me to sweat my heart out, my guess is that I was missing the base. I’ll have to listen to a few more Get Physical release albums to figure this out.

Kudos to Roam-Music for another solid night at the Compound SF.

I have two videos posted on blog: http://frimerman.wordpress.com (permission to post these was requested, pending response from M.A.N.D.Y)
