Press quotes: „Gomma is the freshest and most intersting German record label.“ (Dazed & Confused/ UK)
„Like a German DFA.“ (NME/ UK)
„Always ahead of it’s time, with an unique approch that make the imprint oustanding“ (The Wire)
as you might know Gomma records is sleeping. But we have 2 other labels:
Toy Tonics for dancemusic & Kryptox for Jazz, Kraut & Electronica experiments.
Now we released the thrid album on Kryptox. By wonderful young german composer and sax player Ralph Heidel. Music for string quartett & jazzband. We recomend to listen. It’s beautiful and unique music. Inspired by Olafur Arnalds, John Zorn, Post Rock and Radiohead…
And come to Berlin: 9. may 2019
We do a showcase of our new KRYPTOX label at XJazz Festival. 3 Bands: Ralph Heidel Octett, JJ Whitefield, Tenderlonius: facebook event
Our new experimental label Kryptox will have a major push in 2019. Several new projects.
We kick off with a night at VOLKSBÜHNE THEATER Berlin feat. our artists STIMMING X LAMBERT.. 19.1.2019. Come!
After chosing Toy Tonics as one of the “10 best labels 2017″ now MixMag / UK has written a great feature on Toy Tonics and the label’s background. Read all about it here!
Worldwide FM invited Mathias do do a radioshow. They wanted him to play only Gomma, Toy Tonics and Kryptox (our new label) releases.
The show was on air last friday. You can listen to it here online. The funny thing: They call him „the Wes Andersons of electronic music“. Not bad :)
Mr. Munk hasn’t released anything since his last EP on parisian label Correspondant two years ago. He only co-produced records for Toy Tonics artists (and is working on a Neo-Jazz/ Kraut solo album). But he also teamed up with Paul Pötsch. Frontman of leading German indierock band Trümmer. Together they are working on a couple of German indiedisco songs. Great stuff in the making.
As a little appetizer they made a freaky track called “UFO” for the “KEINE BEWEGUNG 2″ compilation of Berlin label STAATSAKT.
A compilation that portraits the new German No Wave, Punkfunk and Indiedisco scene. There is a lot happening in the german underground. Great stuff.
PÖTSCH & MUNK will have more in 2018. #MakeGermanDiscoGreatAgain
Another EP with essential originator Neo Disco tunes!
LCD Soundsystem’s Nancy Whang, Munk, Pete Herbert and a balearic jam by two obscure German Disco lovers called: The GB’s.
