Munk - Mis Labios_final

Cat#: Gomma DT032
Release: 27 May 2011

Today we release the new Munk single Mis Labios. A dirty dirty Barrio-House stomper.
Based on a funky Salsa Piano Riff played by Mathias Modica and nasty Spanish vocals by Brazilian DJane and performer
Joyce Muniz. The single comes along with a beautiful soulful remix by Black Van and a hard club stomper version by Joyce herself. The summer is there. And the tune for it is here.

Box Codax “Inanimate Inamorato” (Video)

For every of the 13 songs from the new Box Codax album there is a video. Made by friends of Alex and Nick. Till now we have spread 5 of them. This is number 6 . Featuring for the first time the band members them self. But of course… like on the band photos: They are shy. They hide there faces… We are quite sure not because they are ashamed of the song. As it is one of the most beautiful melancholic ballads we ever had on Gomma and the video… watch yourself.
