Our Gomma head honcho Mr. Munk has been invited to make some releases on labels of friends… and so he did: He just released an EP on Jennifer Cardini’s Correspondant label. Now he comes with a release on Local Talk: “Hot Medusa” including a remix by Kai Alce.
Check one track here. Jazz comes back. Big time.

German TV produced an one hour documentary about Disco – Now & Then.
A long part of the film talks about Munich and the influence the city had on the evolution of Disco.
The movie includes a long interview with Mathias Modica/ Munk. If you speak german – watch it.

Munk part:

Here the whole movie.

Mr. Munk has been doing a lot of new music recently. Two new EPs will come out on labels of our friends.
The first one just got released on Jennifer Cardini’s great Correspondant label. It’s called „The Wurlitzer Wank“ and includes two new tracks and a remix by Secret Circuit (Beats in Space).
It’s not the first time Munk works with the parisian scene. Already on the first Munk album „Aperitivo“ (2004) he worked with DJ Chloe. Later there were Munk collabos with the Ed Banger crew, I’m A Cliche and other people from the parisian scene. So this new collabo made totally sense in the Munk history.

Get it on Beatport

The next Munk thing will come out on Local Talk in december.

Discotexas and Gomma have a long history together. Discotexas co-owner Moullinex has been releasing several singles and his debut album on Gomma and the gangs of both labels have a steady friendship. So it was time that Mr. Munk will do something for Xinobi, too.
And here it is: The Munk remix for Xinobis new single. Expect the unexpected: A dancefloor tune with accoustic jazz bass, afro percussions and a unexpected great rolling groove.

You might have seen this video already, but we recommend to watch the video:
American conceptional arist Shannon Kelly did it 2 months ago for the Munk vs Daniel Avery collabo.

There was a great Munk show at Munich Kammerspiele theatre recently. For this show Mathias invited former Munk bass player Pollyester to join the gig and later also the Express Brass Band – A 10 person brass band that created kind of a circus feel on stage. This gig was very special.
Here is a video:

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…

Mathias made his own soundtrack for this summer. He recorded 4 hours of his favourite vinyls. Only music from 1965 to 85. From Mike Longo to Kid Frost, from Marcos Valle to Nina Hagen. A very sweet soundtrack for the summer days.
