Featured DJ Chart: Munk
Next in line to walk the Juno Plus featured chart tightrope is Italian producer Munk, aka Mathias Modica. The Gomma co-founder has been floating around the electro, disco and house scenes for nigh on a decade now, with his Munich-based imprint (co-run with Jonas Imbery) paying scant attention to trends, instead focusing on simply putting out nice music. Modica recently announced a new EP was on the way, entitled Mondo Vagabondo, following on from the recent La Musica 12″ which came replete with remixes from Azari & III, Tiago and Audiojack. Read on for some more Munk-y magic from our favourite Disco Clown.
1. Robag Wruhme – Rekksmi Sessions (Freude Am Tanzen)
“I think Freunde Am Tanzen is still one of the most interesting German electro/minimal/whatever labels. They have fun and they want other people to have fun. You can feel it.”
2. Audiojack – Motion Sickness (2020 Vision)
“The remix the boys did for “La Musica” on Gomma is being played by everybody from DJ Chloe to Luciano and Ellen Alien right now. This new production from them is just as killer.”
3. Various – Gomma Italo House Now (Gomma)
“Gomma made this eight track compilation with new music by some new school Italian house producers. Bottin, Horse Meat Disco, Ajello, Rodion, Cecile…no fillers just killers.”
4. Axel Boman – Holy Love
“DJ Koze’s label hits the mark with every release. I love the man: not only for the amazing remix he did of WhoMadeWho but also because he is such a talented musician with a wide range of tastes.”
5. Eddie C – Tell Me (Hometaping Is Killing Music)
“This one is being already played by all the fresh disco DJs. A record that works well all the time!”
6. Squarepusher – Shobealeader One (Ed Banger)
“How much fun is this: Squarepusher on Ed Banger. Pedro Winter has proven that his label is not only the co-creator of the so-called new rave scene, but has a huge musical universe. Check the new Breakbot and Micky Moonlight stuff too – very nice.”
7. Dr Dunks – Tight (Keep It Cheap)
“Everything the Rub N Tug brothers do is dope.”
8. Social Disco Club – I Am Good For You (Hands Of Time)
“The Portuguese disco scene could be the new Norway. Tiago, Moullinex and this guy are all kings right now.”
9. Harvey presents Locussolus – Tan Sedan (International Feel)
“DJ Harvey is touring Europe right now, and back with his own music – yes!”
10. Aeroplane – Superstar (Eskimo)
“Mustang, Glimmers, Aeroplane… the Belgians are just as unstoppable as the Portuguese right now.”
