The last Munk album came out over two years ago (Chanson 3000) and Mathias has spent lot of time in the studio since then. Starting in autumn 2015 there will be a bunch of new releases by Mathias. First on the map are two singles on our friends’ labels. The first one is the “Wurlitzer Wank EP” on Jennifer Cardinis Correspondant Records (30.10.). Including a remix by Secret Circuit. Shortly after this (9.11.) there will be the “Hot Medusa/ Purple Dust” EP on Local Talk. Including a remix by Kai Alce that sounds like George Benson doing jazz funk house.
Also a new Munk song with Mona Lazette on Mixrophone will come out in january 2016. Last week Discotexas released a new Munk remix for Xinobi. Check that out, too…

King of Disco Dimitri From Paris did a few things for Gomma and our sublabel Toy Tonics.
Now he is back with a remix for the new Gomma band Hess Is More. The experimental collective around composer Mikkel Hess.
The band released their “Bearsong” EP in june. Now here comes the Remix EP with remixes by Dimitri From Paris, Pollyester and Pitchfork favorite Lorna Dune from NYC.
The New York based collective of musicians around danish composer Mikkel Hess released “Bearsong/ Primate” – their fabulous experimental double single on Gomma in june 2015. Hess is a multitalented composer. Coming from Jazz music, he also wrote lots of contemporary ballet pieces and movie soundtracks. So no wonder that there are so many different aspects in these two released tracks. Now his friends from Royal Ballet of Kopenhagen made a video for “Bearsong”. Check it out. Features…. a bear!
The Munk Autumn Mix is here. And this time we took the recording of one of Mathias’ DJ Sets at a beach party in Beirut/ Libanon some weeks ago. The mix is very House. But of course not the deep, commercial version of housemusic, but the more funky, latin inspired aspects. New York School. With the roots in Black music. This mix is almost 3 hours. And the longer it goes the more u see how great Mathias creates a flow including all kinds of old and new styles in ‘4 to the floor music’.
Hippie Disco, Detroit electro, spanish Funk pop. Including lots of Gomma and Toy Tonics stuff.
