Philipp Jung, the German DJ and producer known for his work with the duo M.A.N.D.Y. and the Get Physical label, has died at age 55. The news was shared on May 20 by British DJ Damian Lazarus.
Jung worked as an A&R in the 1990s before forming M.A.N.D.Y. and Get Physical in the early 2000s with childhood friend Patrick Bodmer. The label, co-founded with DJ T. and Booka Shade’s Arno Kammermeier and Walter Merziger, focused on song-oriented dance music and was named label of the year by DJ Mag in 2005. Key releases included remixes of Laurie Anderson’s “O Superman” and Samim’s “Heater.”
