ARCHIVE
Discotexas and Gomma have a long history together. Discotexas co-owner Moullinex has been releasing several singles and his debut album on Gomma and the gangs of both labels have a steady friendship. So it was time that Mr. Munk will do something for Xinobi, too.
And here it is: The Munk remix for Xinobis new single. Expect the unexpected: A dancefloor tune with accoustic jazz bass, afro percussions and a unexpected great rolling groove.
You might have seen this video already, but we recommend to watch the video:
American conceptional arist Shannon Kelly did it 2 months ago for the Munk vs Daniel Avery collabo.
There was a great Munk show at Munich Kammerspiele theatre recently. For this show Mathias invited former Munk bass player Pollyester to join the gig and later also the Express Brass Band – A 10 person brass band that created kind of a circus feel on stage. This gig was very special.
Here is a video:
Hess Is More is a 7 person musician’s collective based in New York and Copenhagen around musical mastermind Mikkel Hess. They released their Gomma debut EP last June. Strange, beautiful music from outta space.
Now here come the remixes. Dimitri from Paris did an effective, supersexy disco stomper. Keeping a lot from the original version. The crazy voices, the Punk Funk feel, the moody, new wave atmosphere. But now it’s a club bomb. Then Williamsburg’s hidden underground star Lorne Dune reworked the other song. In a more edgy, distorted way. Beautiful. Then you have a version by Munich’s Pollyester. The former bass player of Munk now has gone solo. She does this kind of naive, early 80ies, powerdisco you could hear at clubs like the Loft or DJ Harvey playing. The EP also features a extra long version of the song Primate. Orgastic Hardcore Disco Rock.

The last Munk album came out over two years ago (Chanson 3000) and Mathias has spent lot of time in the studio since then. Starting in autumn 2015 there will be a bunch of new releases by Mathias. First on the map are two singles on our friends’ labels. The first one is the “Wurlitzer Wank EP” on Jennifer Cardinis Correspondant Records (30.10.). Including a remix by Secret Circuit. Shortly after this (9.11.) there will be the “Hot Medusa/ Purple Dust” EP on Local Talk. Including a remix by Kai Alce that sounds like George Benson doing jazz funk house.
Also a new Munk song with Mona Lazette on Mixrophone will come out in january 2016. Last week Discotexas released a new Munk remix for Xinobi. Check that out, too…

The New York based collective of musicians around danish composer Mikkel Hess released “Bearsong/ Primate” – their fabulous experimental double single on Gomma in june 2015. Hess is a multitalented composer. Coming from Jazz music, he also wrote lots of contemporary ballet pieces and movie soundtracks. So no wonder that there are so many different aspects in these two released tracks. Now his friends from Royal Ballet of Kopenhagen made a video for “Bearsong”. Check it out. Features…. a bear!
