The 2nd (and last) part of the TEUTONIK DISASTER – compilation: Obscure, unknown music from Germanys late 70ies & early 80ies New Wave/ Punk underground. Bands who tryed to mix their sound with Funk & Disco influences in a own way. This music was not part of the famous NEUE DEUTSCHE WELLE – hype. It was made by guys who wanted to experimentate new stuff and existed besides the German NDW pop thing of these days. Some of them were really ahead of their time. All these recordings are extremly hard to find even in Germany.

1) Starter – Part of you
2) Instant Music – My Boy
3) Camilla Motor – Gefahr im Tivoli
4) Die Nervösen Deutschen – Stukas over Surrey

10) Exkurs – Angst

Gomma bosses Mathias Modica and Jonas Imbery get back to Munk-y business with this remix package. Headman provide a ianguorcus space disco work-out. But it’s the originals urgent bass motif, disco drums and string stabs, like Vangelis rimming DFA, that thrills.

Think Daniel Wang, Playgroup and Metro Area jamming in a studio with the Strokes, The White Stripes and Beck. The result could sound like TEUTONIK DISASTER. Except that sometimes on this album you hear some German singing. But never like you would imagine a German singer would sound like. This is a compilation featuring music made in Germany 20 years ago, that sounds like it has been recorded in the year 2003. Totaly fresh, danceable Electro, Diskopunk and DanceRock. 8 instrumental Floorfiller + 8 homelistening tracks. You will love that!

LEROY HANGHOFER are MATHIAS MODICA aka MUNK and JONAS IMBERY aka TELONIUS..the two guys who run the GOMMA LABEL.  White Trash is a collection of maaaad discotracks.
This record is from 2001 but still sounds extremely FRESH. It fits perfectly now.

The original release of White Trash was sold out very fast and the record became popular with the first wave of New Disco Heads: James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem used to play it at his NYC parties and  Laurent Garnier called up the GOMMA boys to tell them how much he loved this record. Companys like Lagerfeld, Givenchy and also Colette used some tracks for their shows and cds.

Mathias Modica and partner Jonas Imbery created the side project LEROY HANGHOFER to release some discotracks they had produced mainly for playing them in their DJ sets. It’s very much FUN music – without being stupid. Disco with humor AND style!  P – Funk, Italodisco and punky elements. Recorded with only a few, but very characteristic instruments: a old, rare drum machine (Sequential Circuits – Prince used to use this on his first albums). Two old Synthesizer (bought for 50 euros) and a few samples from obscure east european 70ies rock records. Besides, the guys always play a lot of bass lines, piano and other instruments themselves and re-cut them afterwards.

Tracklist:
1) Bathroomboogie
2) Klon (Your Body)
3) The Favorit Song
4) Das Pi
5) Träumerei
6) Dumm 1
7) Dumm 2
8) H-Boy
9) Pling Plong
10) The Wei feat. Mocky & Ad Hawk
11) Klon (Your Body) Dance Edit
12) Hippie Spick

Rare music from the early 80’s New York underground and some contemporary reinterpretations.

It took us over three years to finish this compilation. The first time we spoke to Michael Holman (former partner of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Vincent Gallo, promoter of the first hip hop shows in New York) was in 1997. He offered us to release the only (and yet unreleased) song of Basquiat’s band Gray that was ever recorded.

At the time, we were already planning to release a compilation with early 80’s No Wave & Boogie. So we decided to combine both things and came up with a collection of tunes mainly from New York’s early 80’s downtown art & music scene – mostly bands that had a connection with the Mudd Club.

Mudd Club was the place to be in New York’s early 80’s nightlife. After The Loft and Studio 54, it was here where Eno & Bowie, Gallo, Basquiat and lots of other innovative young guys from the art/fashion/music scene lost their nights.

Mudd Club was the place where Japanese designer talents like Yamamoto & Myake met young artists such as Futura 2000, Keith Haring and others. Live shows by Jim Jarmusch’s band The Del-Byzanteens or Vincent Gallo jamming with Gray were a standard act at the Mudd. Gray was the musical art-noise project of artists Jean-Michel Basquiat and Michael Holman.

Holman also was the main collaborateur on this compilation. Check his original photos on the artwork. This man was the capo: producer of the first ever hip hop tv-shows graffiti rock & beatstreet, promoter of the first hip hop parties outside the Bronx and superhero of the Beastie Boys and all other rap aficionados.

We also worked with Steve Mass, former owner and promoter of the Mudd Club. Together with him and other original band members like Jonny Sender of Kong and Justin’time (co-founder of Vince Gallo’s band Bohawk), Munk & Gomma compiled the album. Steve Mass also wrote the liner notes for the compilation.

We made a collection of what we think are some very fine songs. Hip hop & graffiti – legend The Rammellzee on a trash-electro tune with Death Comet Crew (later they were called The Dominatrix and were sampled by the likes of DJ Hell and Terranova). An ultrarare recording of Jim Jarmusch that sound like a cool Beck – song. The only recorded and never released music by Jean-Michel Basquiat. A sweet little song by now very known writer Vivian Goldman and much more.

But gomma isn’t a retro label. Most of the styles – music, fashion, art – from those days are the fundament of now – culture. So we took the originators stuff and asked some friends to reinterpretate them.
Compost band Syrup replayed the Sexual Harrassment tune. Funkstörung goes electroboogie with Ike Yard. Protein makes Rammellzee sound like it’s 2010…

Tracklist:
1. Vivien Goldman – Launderette
2. Sexual Harrassment – If I Gave You A Party
3. Gray – Drum Mode
4. Konk – Love Attack
5. The Del/Byzanteens – Girl’s Imagination
6. Ike Yard – N.C.R.
7. Death Comet Crew – Exterior St.
8. Gray – Drum Mode (Paul Mogg Version)
