Mathias Modica is one of the two masterminds behind Gomma Records, a German label which releases mostly disco related dance music (read: Headman, Tomboy, WhoMadWho).
Under his moniker
Munk he produces some of the funkiest disco music I heard in a while.
Contrary to all those would-be revolutionaries out there trying to invent something new, Modica sticks with the old, but trusted formula of sweaty beats, sexy grooves and vocals that are smooth as butta baby to create his futuristic interpretation of an era of bad perms, chunky platform shoes and white satin suits.
Today he releases his new (and second) album "Cloudbuster on, Gomma Records.
The whole LP sounds pretty analog, which is a compliment, obviously he brought some of his old drum machines and synths out of the closet.
A song that particularly caught my ear was the funky opening track "Live Fast Die Old", interestingly featuring Italy's most talked about actress Asia Argento on vocals.
The Rapture and Busy P from Ed Banger teamed together to deliver a top notch state of the art remix.
