Toy Tonics Music Berlin presents Para Mytho Disco, the second Kapote album of label founder and creative director Mathias Modica, keyboarder, DJ, producer, music nerd, graphic designer, multi-instrumentalist, sub-culture impressario and artist (formerly known as Munk of Gomma records.) The 12 tracks have a very own style. Based on dance music, but going much further. Para Mytho Disco is a futuristic mix of sounds. It's far away from the dark monotone techno and trance music from Kapote's hometown Berlin. Instead, he creates warm friendly atmospheres full of sonic colors and little musical surprises. Kapote's knowledge of music history and his background as a jazz piano student and son of classic music composer is clearly inside this music. Before turning into a DJ and electronic music producer he has been playing in bands since he was 13 years old. The album is full of emotional chord progressions played by Kapote on various keyboards. Sometimes reminding music from the past, without being retro at all. The basslines and melodies are inspired by jazz fusion from the 1970s. And he programmed syncopated grooves that come from Afro-American dance music. There are influences from Japanese electronic music (Yellow Magic Orchestra), from 1980s synthwave and from 1990s electronica (like Squarepusher and Luke Vibert). Kapote plays keys, bass, flutes and percussions, he plays synth solos and sings on a few tracks. The complexity of the arrangements makes this music never boring. Lot of melodies and solos that catch the listener. Colorful soundscapes that make you want to listen or dance to this album more, and discover details also after you heard it several times.
