Here comes the fabulous new Munk Fall Tropical podcast:
Mathias played it quite straight here. 60minutes of very sexy deep bass – driven 4/4 music. He drives us with 110 bpm from tropical house territories to futuristc techno. Lots of great melodies and unexpected harmony changes includet. Starting with the new KDMS single “Tonight” (Morgang Geist Remix!) and ending with two dreamy Gomma own tunes: Sirena (by Esperanza) and the Munk ballad So Close featuring Lou Hayter from New Young Pony Club.
