The legendary Gomma-disco album made by Munk (originally released in 2001) and it still sounds super fresh: raw discoboogie crossed with some punk-funk, pop and Italo disco. Leroy Hanghofer's got his own special producing technique: he says he's sick of hearing all these "wannabe Dionne Warwick or whatever jazzy soul voices." Instead, he likes the charming sleaziness of talented but "innocent" dilettantes. So he finds himself some nice girls with sexy voices at the club, brings them to the studio, serves them beer etc., then he sends them into the toilet (which is the vocal cabin of Asamstüiberlstudio), and with the help of his friends from Munk, puts together a cool little tune from time to time. A Leroy track always sounds a little bit "out of everything," and has this certain flavor of its own -- it mixes new wave and electro pop aesthetics with boogie-beats and R&B flavors, now that he's got so many tracks -- it would be a shame not to bring these little excursions out on an album. So here it is: German new wave boogie.
