Release: 11 February 2011
Cat#: Gomma DT 022

Yeah! Today the new Munk single will be released. “Keep My Secret” feat. Miss Pollyester (from Permanent Vacation) on the mic. Described by a journalist as sounding like “Feist meeting up with Caribou produced by some New York house legends like Masters at Work” – this is a teaser for the new Munk album “The Bird and the Beat” (to be released last week of February).

This sweety little song comes up with remixes by Welcome Stranger (Thomas from Rub n Tug), Jacques Renault from New York’s Runaway and Rory Phillips. We mailed out the tune a few days ago to DJ’s and the feedback is amazing: Breakbot, Tim Sweeney, Prins Thomas and many more are already playing it and hundreds of blogs around the world are talking about it already.

Munk album coming soon!

152cd_Munk_cover1

This is gonna make you happy… :The new Munk album “The Bird and the Beat” is ready to be released in a few weeks. Mathias Modica recorded it with 12 girls from different parts of the world. Among them are Lou Hayter from New Young Pony Club / London, Joyce Muniz from Brasil and Pollyester from Permanent Vacation / Munich.

The new album is very sweet. It has been described by a journalist as sounding like “Feist jamming with Caribou produced by Masters at Work”. A trip though different languages and styles. Starting like a 90ies house record … becoming weirder, deeper and a bit extravagant .

You might know already La Musica and Violent Love.. which have already been released. The next album single is Keep My Secret. A sweet little song comes up with remixes by Welcome Stranger (Thomas from Rub n Tug), Jacques Renault from New York’s Runaway and Rory Phillips. Not yet released but it is on blogs everywhere already and it gets crazy feedback: Tim Sweeney, Breakbot, Prins Thomas and many others are playing it. Be ready for the single on Friday and Munk the 3rd soon!
