The last day of Golden Week (well for the clubbers!) brings one of the most popular figures in the German
electric music TOMCRAFT. For over a decade, TOMCRAFT aka Thomas Bruckner has been an impor-
tant part of today's electronic music scene and one of its most highly regarded ambassadors in foreign
countries near and far: three albums, two of his own labels, dozens of successful singles, and countless
remixes for acts such as Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Simple Minds and many more. In 2003
TOMCRAFT set up his first independent label, Great Stuff Recordings, followed by Craft Music in 2005,
on which national and international acts such as Coburn, GusGus, and The Egg, released records and
the imprint with its high-quality tunes went on to become the most popular in the world in the shortest
possible time. His down-to-earth nature and his constant efforts to take himself and his music one level
further guarantee many interesting developments to come - on both the decks and in the studio. And
don't forget to check out the colourful and international support DJ rosters too!
The story of M.A.N.D.Y. - Patric Bodmer and Philipp Jung - begins on a tennis court in Saarbrücken,
near the German-French border on a summer's day over twenty years ago. They grew to become
great friends, and together dreamt of a way to make a living out of their shared loves: collecting records,
throwing parties, meeting friends and girls and laughter. In 2001, M.A.N.D.Y. started a residency at
Frankfurt's Monza club, which has spread its wings to Ibiza, London and beyond to become a truly
global concern. It was the 2005 collaboration with Booka Shade, ‘Body Language', which sealed their
reputation: the track became a bona fide anthem across the globe and was voted Ibiza's Track of the
Season that year, and Track of the Year in DJ Mag. For Patric and Philipp, this isn't a job and it isn't
about success; it's about partnership and friendship and a realisation that dreams can come true.
It's about seriously good music, and it's still about those four things which bonded them in the first
place: collecting records, throwing parties, meeting girls - friends, making friends and laughter.
