Produced by Air and arranged by Morricone…

The album features recording artist Banjo Or Freakout (Walls/Kompakt) on vocals. Remixes by Luke Abbott (Border Community), Broke One and Walls (Kompakt). Check also the video for the new single Jaipur. Desert techno!

New Young Pony Club’s Lou Hayter joined Mathias / Munk for this beautiful ballad from the last Munk album. New York photographer Hadley Hudson went to Paris, called up her model friend Bianca O’Brian and together they made this video at Hotel Amour. Hot video. Great song.

Look at this absurd video we got for Morgan Geist‘s great remix of The KMDS single “Tonight”.

The guys did a little private party and filmed it… Nono. Of course it’s a old trash movie. And Adam Tarasiuk from Warsaw made some nice new editing and now it fits quite well with the great remix of Metro Area’s mastermind Morgan Geist. (The single is out now on 12″ and vinyl. Album follows in Spring 2012.)

Release: 29 November 2011

With Kompakt artist Walls on board the second single of Esperanza already shows the direction of the new Italian trio on Gomma. The second single re-interprets the idea of the Gomma universe perfectly. It is Techno. But it is also dirty Surf Rock or transcendental body music.

Jaipur could be the soundtrack on a Tarantino movie as well as be played in the desert on a camelrace. (Watch the video!). The Esperanza kids had quite a buzz on their first single “Sirena” (feat.: Banjo Or Freakout ) with DJ’s like Gui Boratto, James Holden, Luke Abbott supporting them.

New Gomma short movie! New band! Genius music! Single (including Walls remix) and album out on Gomma this week.

Release: 25 November 2011

There is so much buzz about this release already – it’s crazy. For our band The KDMS, Morgan Geist did one of his very rare remixes and people seem to love it. We got mails from all kind of DJ’s: From Soul Clap and Tim Sweeney who already played it in his show. Jaymo, Tensnake and Aeroplane who wrote that this is “one of my favorite tracks of the last couple of months to play “. Axel Boman described it as “shimmering little diamonds in the autumn night, this will guide cold dancers towards warm experiences all over the world.” Tom Trago, Pilooski are playing it too. Wow! Rare that so many different DJs love the same tune.

So its a good start for new Gomma band The KDMS. Their debut album will be released in 2012. Expect some more “shimmering little diamonds…”
