The GOMMA DANCEFLOOR GEMS Vol 2
12 tracks originally released on the indie dance label GOMMA RECORDS between
2001 and 2010. (Gomma was the label Toy Tonics did before starting Toy Tonics.)
Along with DFA and Output records Gomma released a wild mix of electronic dance
music, indie rock, undergound disco, post punk and new wave funk that was big in
the 2000s. The Y2K sound!
Gomma released music by artists like Peaches, Whomadewho, The Rammellzee,
James Murphy, LCD soundsystem and artists like Nick McCarthy of Franz
Ferdinand.
Now it’s 2023 and its feels fresh to put a spotlight on some of these tracks again.
And so here comes a 2nd compilation part of Gomma tracks:
Nancy Whang the singer of LCD Soundsystem, WhoMadeWho (the band started
their career on Gomma), Italian disco producer Bottin, UK Indie Disco hero The
Deadstock 33s aka Justin Robertson, NY Disco hipsters In Flagranti, German
producers Munk and many more on this compilation.
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.
Many graphic design trends of the last years were preceded by what the artists on
Gomma were doing. And many record and street wear labels of today look a bit like
Gomma was looking before ... copying the images that Gomma preceeded: ironic
cartoons, trash aesthetics, greek symbols, ugly design ideas and lot of ironic things.
The Gomma visuals world was exposed in a couple of exhibitions around the world
and at a big exhibition at #hausderkunst München before the label was closed in
2015. (when Toy Tonics took off...)
