Kapote - Para Mytho Disco

Toy Tonics presents ‘Para Mytho Disco’, the second Kapote album from label founder and creaive director Mathias Modica (formerly known as Munk of Gomma records.) In the last few years Kapote was in the spotlight mainly for building the Toy Tonics label with his friends. Developing a plaorm for new posiive quality dance music with a human touch. The warm inclusive music of Toy Tonics represents a new vibe that a young generaion of diverse, stylish and culturally interested dancers now loves . Kapote’s Toy Tonics became the key label for that vibe. (In 2024 Toy Tonics made 150 Toy Tonics events in 18 countries. With more than 150.000 people dancing.) The 12 tracks here have a very unique style. Based on dance music, but going much further. „Para Mytho Disco' is a futurisic 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 colours and ligle musical surprises. The album is full of emoional chord progressions played by Kapote on various keyboards. Someimes it reminds me of 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. Lots of melodies and solos that catch the listener.
