This is a mix that Mathias did for the guys from great Italian blog DiscoSafari. The boys make parties in Milan, have one of the best record shops in Italy and produce hot & healing house music as The Barkings Dogs.

The mix starts with the not yet released Munk remix of the new Jolly Jams E.P. and after some more straight house tracks it gets more and more into mid 70ies weird discofunk with a quite Arabian and Spanish flavor. In between you also find new tracks by Tony Senghore / Shir Khan, Voltage and others.. Check out Munk’s edit of Turkish funk from Baris Manco or the super rare Italian funk tracks in the end.

Tracklist:
1) Jolly Jams Munk Remix
2) Unknown White Label
3) Ideal – Schöne Frau mit Geld (Losoul Remix)
4) Holy Mistress – Yes Duke
5) Giano & Nina Simone – Feelin’ Good

In connection with the release of each issue of AMORE, several exhibitions have been taking place all over the world, called MondoGomma Picture Shows:

MondoGomma Picture Show MUNICH 2009
MondoGomma Picture Show BERLIN 2008
MondoGomma Picture Show TOKYO 2006
MondoGomma Picture Show STUTTGART 2005
MondoGomma Picture Show BARCELONA 2005

We made a small limited edition shirt with this illustration that cosmic amigo Misha Hollenbach …the unimitable Mr SuperPerks from P.A.M. did for the GOMMA exhibition in Berlin and for GOMMA AMORE POSTER MAGAZINE.

Some nice words from the press:
THE NME: “Gomma is like the German DFA”.
DAZED & CONFUSED: “ Germany’s freshest label!”
Pitchfork: “… along with Kompakt and Get Physical Gomma by now is one of the three leading electronic music labels in Germany.”

Hi friends, thanks for liking Gomma. We are a music (and graphic) collective. Based in Munich and led by Mathias Modica (aka Munk). The Gomma crew consists of musicians, DJs, bands, graphic designers from Germany, France, Italy, UK, Denmark and the USA.

Gomma is part of this new, little scene of labels who are crossing between club music, independent art and alternative fashion. DFA Records in New York, Kitsune and Ed Banger in Paris, Modular in Australia… different music, but similar ideas. Releasing not only new music, but creating fresh things in pop culture.

At Gomma we try to develop some different eclectic musical languages –- mixing electronic production and “real” instruments. Combining 70ies disco and psychedelic sounds with 90ies Techno, Electronica, House and Indie Pop. Always trying to stay away from the latest trends but inventing new ideas in music.

Gomma releases the music of Munk, Telonius, Daniel Avery & Justin Robertson, The Deadstock 33s, Moullinex, Mercury, Esperanza, The Barking Dogs, Hugo Capablanca, Whomadewho, The KDMS, The Phenomenal Handclap Band, and many more.

Besides the musical output, we produce t-shirts and published an illustration magazine called Amore magazine.
Apart from our artists constantly at clubs and festivals all around the world, we did a lot of visuals happenings that we called the MondoGomma Pictureshows. They took place in galleries in Stockholm, Berlin, Barcelona, Los Angeles, and Tokyo. Including works from Gomma-releated artists such as Thomas Kartsolis & Mirko Borsche aka Smal & Paze. Then Michael Sailstorfer, Micha Hollenbach from P.A.M., The Rammellzee, Sarah Illenberger, Daniel Josefsohn, Kostas Murkudis, Martin Fengel and others.

Gomma has been doing events with and at Haus der Kunst (München), Heimat als Utopie – Happening in Tokyo 2006 (curated by 032c magazine). V Magazine Fanzine Show (New York 2010), several events of French fashion companies (Surface to Air, Chanel, Givenchy, the Colette Shop, Kostas Murkudis, Neil Barrett) and magazines such as Vice, i-D, Interview, Dazed & Confused etc etc…, Sonar Festival, Melt Festival, events at Paris, Milan and New York Fashion Week, and of course a lot of parties in Munich, Berlin and all around the world…
