Munk presents Pop Futuro

Cat#: Gomma 205
Release: 17 April 2015

Pop Futuro is a compilation featuring new songs & remixes made exclusively for Gomma by DANIEL AVERY, MOULLINEX, METRONOMY, JUNIOR & BAUMON, WHOMADEWHO, HOT CHIP, MERCURY, BOX CODAX (The solo project of Nick McCarthy of FRANZ FERDINAND). The compilation shows new ways of electronic pop music. But not in a retro 90ies aesthetic, but with a heavy futuristic edge.

Pop Futuro shows weird, strange, unheard music. Not the type of Deep House music that has become mainstream in 2014 – instead Gomma wants to show new aspects in electronic music with vocals. This makes sense as Gomma always has been searching for new artists who are different. Musicians that combine electronic music with song writing skills and organic elements and an arty approach.

POP FUTURO is full of music by people who have been connected to Gomma since years. DANIEL AVERY who has released his first works on Gomma before he was signed to Erol Alkan’s Phantasy label. WHOMADEWHO – who did two albums on Gomma before they were discovered by Kompakt. Newcomers JUNIOR & BAUMON. MERCURY who started on Gomma and now are famous for their Sirens of Lesbos project on Exploited records. And Italian band ESPERANZA – who did their debut album on Gomma in 2012 and now have been signed by LIFE & DEATH records (where they will release under their new name Dead Heat).

The POP FUTURO compilation comes out along with a GOMMA MAGAZINE. 40 pages designed by Gomma friends like BORSCHE & KARTSOLIS, PAM, FENGEL and others.

Now we release the original, main short version of the song as an appetizer to the compilation. The song is: brillant.

Gomma Podcast #122 – Munk Spring Mix

Mr. Munk has been very busy over the last months. Mostly by touring the world after the release of his last album CHANSON 3000, putting together the new Gomma compilation POP FUTURO (out in spring) and producing new music. Now he found the time to do a new mixtape. This spring mix includes some unreleased Gomma material (Check the wonderful opening track: Nils Penner’s remix for Hotlane) and music that he loves to play in his current DJ sets.
Of course the mixtape is a bit sweeter than his club mixes, but that’s one of the things that make Munk mixtapes so interesting: They are unpredictable – Go with the flow.

Tracklist:
1 Hotlane – My Favourite Habit (Nils Penner Remix)
2 Art Alfie – Easy to Love
3 Coeo – Native Riddim
4 Donnie – Olmec Save Us
5 Jad & The Ladyboy – Namibian Gold
6 Verdo – Simba
7 PBR Streetgang – Move On (Kian T Remix)
8 Jack J – Take It To The Edge
9 Junior & Baumon – Don’t Listen Much
10 Bosq – Bad For Me (Soul Clap Remix)
11 Hess Is More – Primate (Munk Edit)
