Munk is Mathias Modica. “One of the most forward thinking minds in the German producer scene” (Pitchfork).
Mathias released 3 Munk albums on his own labels Gomma & Toy Tonics and several EPs on labels like Correspondant, Local Talk, Mule Musiq and Exploited.
He did collaboration singles with Rebolledo from Pachanga Boys, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, Asia Argento, Peaches. He is a DJ, vinyl collector, pianoplayer, producer and owner of new house label Toy Tonics and Gomma records: „Germany’s most interesting electronic music label“ (The NME).

Munk has a quite unique approch in music. It’s difficult to pin him down to one special scene or musical style. He always tries to find a new, different approach to electronic music. This reflects also his politics on his labels Gomma and Toy Tonics. Besides his own music he has released the debuts of some of the most interesting artists of the past years on Gomma and Toy Tonics: The Danish indiedisco group WhoMadeWho who released three albums on Gomma before getting signed by Kompakt, Daniel Avery’s first singles before he did his album on Erol Alkan’s Phantasy label, Franz Ferdinand’s Nick McCarthy’s solo project Box Codax before he started his band Franz Ferdinand, Canadian songwriter Mocky’s debut album before he wrote hits for Feist, Nu–Disco pioneer Moullinex’ debut album, the Casablanca Project with Nancy Whang of LCD Soundsystem.

About Gomma

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…

Leroy Hanghofer – White Trash (CD/2LP)

Gomma — Tue, 10 Sep 2002 11:58:04 +0000

Release: 10.09.2002
Cat#: Gomma 024 CD/2LP

LEROY HANGHOFER are MATHIAS MODICA aka MUNK and JONAS IMBERY aka TELONIUS..the two guys who run the GOMMA LABEL. White Trash is a collection of maaaad discotracks.
This record is from 2001 but still sounds extremely FRESH. It fits perfectly now.

The original release of White Trash was sold out very fast and the record became popular with the first wave of New Disco Heads: James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem used to play it at his NYC parties and Laurent Garnier called up the GOMMA boys to tell them how much he loved this record. Companys like Lagerfeld, Givenchy and also Colette used some tracks for their shows and cds.

Mathias Modica and partner Jonas Imbery created the side project LEROY HANGHOFER to release some discotracks they had produced mainly for playing them in their DJ sets. It’s very much FUN music – without being stupid. Disco with humor AND style! P – Funk, Italodisco and punky elements. Recorded with only a few, but very characteristic instruments: a old, rare drum machine (Sequential Circuits – Prince used to use this on his first albums). Two old Synthesizer (bought for 50 euros) and a few samples from obscure east european 70ies rock records. Besides, the guys always play a lot of bass lines, piano and other instruments themselves and re-cut them afterwards.

Tracklist:
1) Bathroomboogie
2) Klon (Your Body)
3) The Favorit Song
4) Das Pi
5) Träumerei
6) Dumm 1
7) Dumm 2
8) H-Boy
9) Pling Plong
10) The Wei feat. Mocky & Ad Hawk
11) Klon (Your Body) Dance Edit
12) Hippie Spick
