Headman – Ronghands (12″)

Release: 26 October 2005
Cat#: Gomma 062

Long awaited new single by Swiss born/Berlin based DJ, painter and disco producer HEADMAN.

After his debut album on Gomma in 2001, an album under his alias MANHEAD and remixes for nearly every credible major band you can imagine (FRANZ FERDINAND, THE RAPTURE, MYLO, ANNIE, RADIO 4, SCISSOR SISTERS, RÖYKSOPP….) he finally is prepared enough for his most important project: the second HEADMAN album. This is a first step. Pure balearic New School Rave disco.

Tracklist:
A) Rong Hands
B) Upstart

Munk & Midnight Mike – Disco Clown (12″)

Release: 24 October 2005
Cat#: Gomma 058

Taken from MUNK’s highly acclaimed Debut album Aperitivo. These are 3 remixes from DISCO CLOWN – a track that the Italo–German production duo MUNK recorded together with their close friend and heavy London Gomma supporter MIDNIGHT MIKE. MIKE also wanted to do two new remixes that you can find on this record: both are very 70ies Disco. For the girls! On the flipside there is a remix for the boys by DIGITALISM. Their remix is definitely a heavy club monster: Dark, Bassdrum, Grunge Guitars.

Tracklist:
A) Digitalism Remix
B1) Midnight Mike 128bpm Version
B2) Midnight Mike 128bpm Remix
