Format:
CD
Price:
$11.00
Catalog #:
GOMMA 050CD
2004 release.
Munk
didn't wanted
Aperitivo
to be one of those straight-forward, dance CDs with one beat and one mood. Their intention was to make an album that includes various atmospheres and musical influences. Like a Bavarian - French - Italian - American - British mixtape. The sound ranges somewhere between club and listening, connecting live band and samplers, inspired by disco, house and hip hop culture. Infected by psychedelic rock, no wave and punkfunk. The first single "Kick Out The Chairs" was recorded with vocals by long time Gomma fan
James Murphy
of New York's DFA (producer for
The Rapture
,
Radio 4
,
LCD Soundsystem
). More features come from French DJ
Chloe
(from Paris' Pulp Club), London-based
Midnight Mike
, guitar player
JAW
(who lives in Munich but usually produces for
DJ Shadow
's label Quannum),
Princess Superstar
and
Bobby Conn

2006 release.
Gommagang 3
is the third compilation of Germany's Gomma label. Club hits, remixes & unreleased tracks from the last two years. Previously released on vinyl only. Including stuff by Headman, WhoMadeWho, Midnight Mike and Munk plus (vocal & remix) contributions by guest artists like The Rapture, Francisco, DJ Chloe, Midnight Mike and James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem). The CD is mixed by MUNK. Gomma has consequently been developing his own, fresh, personal style in the past years. Organic, fresh disco-inspired music -- with elements both from raw psychedelic rock to German minimal electronics. It's time to bring this special vibe and some of the greater current club hits on one CD.
GG 3
represents the current state of the label. It's a lot more than "Brilliant punkfunk and modern disco."

Format:
CD
Price:
$15.50
Catalog #:
GOMMA 152CD
This is the new album from DJ, keyboarder, producer and Gomma Records co- founder
Mathias "Munk" Modica
. Fourteen electronic funk, futuristic house and indie pop songs that Modica recorded with 12 female vocalists from all around the world. The new album is the logical next step after Munk's previous collaborations with
DJ Chloe
,
Asia Argento
,
Micky Moonlight
or
James Murphy
of
LCD Soundsystem
. The album was mixed by
Etienne de Crecy
,
Alex Gopher
and
Jan Driver
(
Boys Noize
). The album starts off like a classic '90s house record, but quickly develops into a colorful trip into unexpected shades of music. Sometimes deep and Krauty, then again influenced by '90s Italo pop and Eurodance. There is '70s street funk, sweet, Frenchy chanson and Brazilian punk-house. English is mixed with six other languages. Electronics meets the funk of
Sly Stone
, the humor of
Frank Zappa
, the pop of
Trevor Horn
and the romanticism of Italians such as
Goblin
or
Morricone
. The album is a modern variation of the "girl vs. producer" thing, like
Serge Gainsbourg
and
Burt Bacharach
did some years ago. All music -- piano, synths, xylophones, bass, guitars, drum machines, and Asian percussion -- is played by Modica. The vocalists include
Lou Hayter
from
New Young Pony Club
,
Clara Cometti
of upcoming French bands
Koko Von Napoo
and
The Teenagers
,
Mia von Matt
who used to do background vocals for
Peaches
,
Sarah Ze
, a disco princess from Malaysia, Man Recording artist/DJ
Joyze Muniz
, Russia's
Pollyester
, actress
Missy Chariot
,
Amandine Morin
, a singer from Marseille, and previous Munk collaborator
Francy Goertz
from Berlin.
