After the big hit KICK OUT THE CHAIRS! with James Murphy from 2005 finally the new MUNK album CLOUDBUSTER comes up in June 2009. The first single LIVE FAST DIE OLD is a PIANO DISCO track which features Italian actress ASIA ARGENTO.

These first remixes have been done by DFA’s THE JUAN MACLEAN, Gomma’s very own HEADMAN and rising DJANE star on the DiscoTech scene MARAL SALMASSI.

The JuanMacLean delivers a Piano House piece which could easily be THE ANTHEM for the new generation of piano house. The flip side brings an equaliy groundbreaking piano disco remix by Gomma’s own HEADMAN. The third mix is the tune which sound most like the original track: it’s the most discoish version of the track. A remix by MARAL SALMASSI – Persian DJane who lives in Germany and does a very smooth sounding disco sound. THIS SINGLE IS ONE OF THE BEST GOMMA SINGLES EVER!

These are 3 remixes from DISCO CLOWN – a track that the Italo–German production duo MUNK recorded together with their close friend and heavy London Gomma supporter MIDNIGHT MIKE. MIKE also wanted to do two new remixes that you can find on this record: both are very 70ies Disco. For the girls! On the flipside there is a remix for the boys by DIGITALISM. Their remix is definitely a heavy club monster: Dark, Bassdrum, Grunge Guitars.

Remixes of a song by Munk. Original version on the Aperitivo album. One half of Munk is Italian (Mathias Modica) and so the Germany based Gomma gang always had a strong connection to Italy.

It was always clear that Gomma would ask their friends from Rome’s PIGNA label to rework a track once. Electro pioneer MARCO PASSARANI (just about to release his new album on Peacefrog) and FRANCISCO (from JOLLY MUSIC) did two nice versions for the club of the „Ce Kul“ – song. A track that Parisian DJ CHLOE and the MUNK guys originally recorded in their little studio Munich after a gig.

Tracklist:
A1) Marco Passarani Remix
A2) Francisco Dub
B) Francisco Remix

Kick Out The Chairs! was the first single of MUNK’s debut album Aperitivo and came out in October 2004. It features the vocals of James Murphy and Nancy Whang of New York’s DFA. Here you get a very Old school funk version of the track – played by new Gomma band WHOMADEWHO from Kopenhagen.
On the flipside there is a dance edit of B.F., also a track from the album. Made by The Glimmers from Belgium – who already had a quite intensive connection to the Munk guys in the last years: they invited them several times to their partys in Ghent, djed them self a few times at partys in Munich and at the recent Gomma/Lodown party in Berlin. They liked the B.F. track and so Gomma asked them to do an own version.

Tracklist:
A1) Kick Out The Chairs! (WhoMadeWho Remix)
A2) Kick Out The Chairs! (Acapella)
B) B.F. (Glimmers Remix)
