Mat El Munko is touring Europe right now. This friday he will play Moscow‘s Soljanka Club and Saturday we do the Munk album release party at Social Club in Paris. Music by Mathias, The Phenomenal Handclap DJ’s and legendary Dimitri From Paris!!! How fat is that? Soooo fat!

This is a crazy mixtape. A 70 minutes trip trough all kinds of deep and dirty music from the 70ies. As you might know here at Gomma we are still mad for old vinyl. Mathias Modica has been crate-digging for years and this is a quite psychedelic voyage through his collection. Rare Brazilian funk, German Prog Rock, Italian Psychedelic… Get deep into Mister Munko’s musical roots.

(If you like the trip you should check out also the Munk mix for our friends from Wood Wood on their Muzak page.

Hi friends, here comes a new little video from the last Moullinex EP. We have to admit that this is our favorite track from the Chocolat EP, released in January.. it reminds us so much the summer.

And the video that Luis from Moullinex did himself is not bad too. He used footage from old educational movies, cut them up and it fits quite well… check it out yourself.

New Munk album “The Bird and the Beat” is building up speed like crazy. No. 5 at iTunes Dance Charts. No.1 in UK’s DMC Zzub Charts. “Album of the month” in mags around the world.
If you fancy, come to the release parties:
AMSTERDAM / 18.3
BERLIN / PickNick 19.3
BERGEN / 25.3
MOSKAU/ Solanka 1.4
PARIS / Social Club 2.4

The Munk album is currently great attention. First it entered German iTunes Dance Charts no.5. And now: it is No.1 in the UK DMC Zzub Charts! …Amazing. Also the press is liking it a lot. Big stories in DJ Magazine from London, TRAX and CLARK in France, Musikexpress (Germany) and a lot of newspapers.

Next single will be Rue de Rome. A musical tribute to Marseille – South france. The maybe wildest city in Europe… Watch out for the 5 minute mini movie that comes a long the single.

As you might know we always have been big Franz Ferdinand fans here at Gomma. So you can imagine how happy we were when Nick McCarthy, mastermind and guitar man in FF asked us if we wanna release his solo project: Box Codax. We know him, because he already released the album of his early days’ band Kamerakino on our label 8 years ago.

So now after FF years it’s time for Box Codax, his band with his oldest friend Alex Ragnew and his wife Manuela Gernedel. And this is, sorry: an amazing album. It’s like a piece of theater. A Happening. 13 songs with 13 videos by English and German film artists. Here is the first single Hellabuster/Choco Pudding, co-produced by Metronomy.

In early May we will release the new Box Codax album. Box Codax is the band of Nick McCarthy (mastermind and guitar man of Franz Ferdinand) and his friend Alex Ragnew. This album is a special one. Really. Think somewhere between Zappa and the more far out DFA records.

For each song, there will be a video by young artists from Britain and Germany, which we will show counting down to the album. Above is the first episode, Sandy Moffat. Enjoy!
