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.

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.

The New York based collective around danish mastermind Mikkel Hess has just released a wonderful two song EP on Gomma. It’s mostly instrumental music, played with real instruments… somewhere between Toro Y Moi, Caribou and spacerock from the 1970s. Now they did a wonderful podcast for the Gomma podcast series… Have a listen!

By the way: We opened a temporary bar in Munich. It’s a mix of Bar, club and gallery. Looks crazy and is crazy. Artist Martin Fengel did the whole club in a sick mutated cat design. There is a lot of gold, batik and walls that look like they were made on LSD. This week our graphist Mirko Borsche will do a special installation. Gomma DJs Rhode & Brown, Taran Frisch and other will DJ. Come over – Munich Disco town rocks.
