Friends of Gomma. Here is something we never did before: For free we give you a Live recording of a recent WhoMadeWho concert. Their infamous gig they did at Germany’s coolest Music Festival: Melt! Festival. There, WhoMadeWho are already a household name as they play the festival every year. This year, they even composed the “Melt Anthem” called Gigantische Stahlgiganten which will be on the official compilation. Now check this out: courtesy of Red Bull Music Academy here comes the recording of their live gig at this year’s Melt Festival. Gigantic!
Well now lookathis: Benny “Rad” Roeder (known from his club night’s in Munich’s Erste Liga and his Spectacle record on Permanent Vacation) and Manuel “Killer” Kim worked through their oldschool vinyls and came up with a collection of funn-kee summer tracks. Seldom-played yet insanely good electro tunes from the early eighties, featuring The Rock Steady Crew, Ice T, Paul Hardcastle, Newcleus, Freeez, Edwin Birdsong and many more. A vinyl-only live mix exclusively for the Gomma podcast — enjoy it in your favorite beach cubicle!

One of our all time heroes The Rammellzee died last week. Rammellzee was one of the coolest guys of New York’s late 70ies and 80ies street art scene. He was a pioneer of Graffiti in the streets of New York and also one of the first dudes in Hip Hop culture. He wasn’t stuck in cliches as so many others in the Hip Hop world. No: Rammellzee always was interested in creating new things. So he brought spray art into a new level. Yes: He created his own world: Gothic Futurism. Consisting of crazy crazy muppets. Robots. Spaceships. An own language. Yes, a whole universe. For more then 30 years he just worked on this idea.
In 2002 Mathias and Jonas (Munk & Telonius) – our Gomma bosses met him in New York. He was looking for somebody who was young and would produce a soundtrack for his Gothic Futurism world. For over one year they worked on the 12 songs that late came out as “The Bi-conicals of The Rammellzee”. Stuart Argabright from Death Comet Crew, Tim Sweeney and others helped to create this crazy album.
Gomma is very sad. A great inspiration left the world. The Rammellzee R.I.P. …you were great, man!
