Toy Tonics continues with re-releasing the best tracks of Gomma Records. The German label that between 2001 and 2015 was one of the key imprints of the then so hyped indie dance, new wave funk, and proto disco sound. The most important releases on Gomma were by Peaches, WhoMadeWho, The Rammellzee, James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem, and Nick McCarthy of Franz Ferdinand. Their Gomma-tracks were on the first two parts of this Gomma Dancefloor Gems compilations series on Toy Tonics. Now here comes Vol. 3, a compilation with music by Dimitri from Paris who also did several EPs on Gomma in the 2000s. Also featuring legendary Belgian disco DJs The Glimmers and UK legend Justin Robertson aka The Deadstock 33's, and one of the first ever releases by Daniel Avery. You'll find remixes by Nicky Siano and Horse Meat Disco, who back then just started their party series and already were connected to Gomma records. There is an amazing flamenco disco track by Spanish producer Hugo Capablanca and T.Keeler that has been hammered by everybody from Optimo to Ivan Smagghe back then and Italian music diggers The Barking Dogs together with now fashion designer Marcelo Burlon are featured with an amazingly catchy electro pop track. Of course Munk, who was the founder of Gomma records, is also on the compilation. Munk is Mathias Modica and works under the name Kapote. He was the co-founder of Gomma and later Toy Tonics records. Toy Tonics actually starts as a mini sublabel of Gomma records in 2013 but took over later when Gomma closed in 2015. Gomma not only was a record label, but was also a home for cutting edge design, wild T-shirt styles, underground exhibitions with new artists from the Berlin scene and crazy poster and fanzine design.
