Ciao! Hier ist Mathias Modica. I run the
Gomma record label and do music production under the alias name Munk.
Coming from Italy, I find the city’s approach rather volatile, as it seeks to continuously evolve. As I am interested in people with distinctive characters who have their own personal style—not only in terms of clothing, but above all, in regard to general and artistic aspects—I find parts of my inspiration far north from home.
I love Berlin as I have all my friends here and will soon start monthly part here in September. If you’re in town, visit me there—and stay tuned via unlike.
About
Mathias Modica a.k.a. Munk has been releasing his own music as well as records by other artists such as WhoMadeWho, Box Codax (the solo project of Nick MacCarthy of Franz Ferdinand) and Headman on his little label Gomma for several years.
The label (according to NME: “Gomma is like a German DFA!”) is part of a new scene of freestyle labels that connect music with alternative art and underground fashion, such as Ed Banger records, Tigersushi and Kitsune in Paris, DFA in New York and Eskimo in Belgium.
The DJ Style of the Munk boys has been described as the new “post minimal“ sound. It’s a mix of new German and French house records, Italian Cosmic stuff and old, rare leftfield disco records. It’s hard, futuristic disco.
A volte mi sono annoiata...
