Mathias Modica’s Sonic Rohstoff is the new album on Kryptox Music. 


Sonic Rohstoff  is a journey through abstract downtempo vibes, lo-fi jazz and futuristic electronica. This is Modica’s first album under his own name, following three albums under his monikers Kapote and Munk. All instruments are performed by Modica himself, embellished by guest musicians from the new Berlin Jazz scene.


Most people might know Modica from his earlier works as a producer, keyboard player and founder/ creative mind behind Toy Tonics, Gomma and Kryptox. 
Over the past two decades he has made a name for himself by discovering and breaking new talent and styles of music. He produced albums with James Murphy and Nancy Whang of LCD Soundsystem, Peaches, Asia Argento, The Rammellzee and WhoMadeWho for his former label Gomma records. Nowadays, he is busy running Toy Tonics and Kryptox Records. 

Originally a jazz piano student and the son of a classical composer Mathias interrupted his studies exactly 20 years ago to launch his label Gomma records and his artist moniker Munk. 
Gomma became one of the leading labels of the 2000’s Indie Disco wave alongside DFA Records and Output Recordings. Crowned as „Germany’s freshest and most interesting record label“ by London's i-D Magazine. In fact Gomma was more than just a record label: besides connecting DJ culture with bands and „real“ musicians, Gomma also released graphic magazines, shirts and ran underground art exhibitions around the world.


Modica stopped the Gomma label in 2015 to start Toy Tonics and Kryptox with two friends - two platforms that showcase the vivid new music scenes of Germany across electronic ad organic dance music. Toy Tonics became a go-to label for international artists experimenting with house, neo-soul, future disco and broken beat. (Coeo, Joel Holmes, Kosmo Kint and Cody Currie are among the artists on Toy Tonics.)


Kryptox Music was launched in 2018 as a home for new bands working in Germany. Highlighting new exciting forms of jazz, psychedelica and electronica that come out of Berlin, which has established itself as a melting pot of new bands and live musicians from across the world.
After Kryptox albums by Niklas Wandt, Ralph Heidel and the Kraut Jazz Futurism compilation, Mathias Modica finally delivers his own debut album.


Sonic Rohstoff are ten slow, instrumental pieces in which Modica plays the Rhodes, synthesizers, bass, drums and percussion. The music is based on deconstructed samples and beats made from real drums and field recordings. Guest musicians are Ralph Heidel (fl, sax), Viktor Wolf (sax), JJ Whitfield (Beats). Loose drum patterns lead the way, mixed with carefully crafted, sensitive atmospheres setting the perfect mood for Modica’s warm and melancholic chord progressions and melodies played on several keyboards. Across the album, he draws inspiration from 1970s jazz funk and 1990s hip hop and electronica. Moods transition from sweet to bizarre, from cinematic to funky. Modern pioneers like Flying Lotus and DJ Shadow are influences as well as movie composers like Alessandro Alessandroni and David Axelrod and the fascinating world of 1980ies Japanese  fusion jazz. 
But it’s difficult to find words for Sonic Rohstoff. In fact the sound of Mathias Modica’s debut album is too special to be described with few sentences. It’s deep and meaningful music. Listen and judge yourself.

This Album by Johnny Deep has been curated for Soundcloud Listeners. It features futuristic and unique expressions of deep electronica. All tracks are preview only. This is due to the artist's need to encourage listeners to buy music since streaming ensures the artist makes almost no money. Underground Music Producers have suffered the most with the recent switch to streaming. It is the streaming platforms that now make all the money while independent artists go broke. We hope you enjoy this Journey :)

Synapse (Detroit Love Vol. 5)

WeTurnToRed (a.k.a. Shamanta Chandran) is a Syrian-born, Tamil-Canadian producer/DJ/singer/songwriter and scientist, based in Toronto. Growing up on the outskirts of the city, she studied and classically trained in opera and jazz as an arts high school kid. Her deep love for electronic music was ignited, after being introduced to the mid-90’s Toronto rave scene by her older brother.

After experimenting in the studio for over a decade, delving into melodic nuances of modular and analog synths, it was clear that growling basslines and haunting melodies were the subjects of her affection. She made her mark in Toronto's electronic music scene through live hardware deep house/techno-focused sets. When Djing she is known as a quality selector of many genres from hip hop, reggae, to house and everything in between. Memorable DJ gigs include opening for legendary artists like Toni Humphries, Waajeed and Dauwd.

Some notable music releases include Planet E Detroit Love-Vol 5 mixed by DJ Holographic, MSTRKRFT’s ORO Records, and Cosmic Resonance (Toronto). Her debut EP, “Smoked Glass” on PITS (Detroit) garnered acclaim, leading to features on “Stamp the Wax” and “Rinse France“to name a few.

WeTurnToRed has an exciting 2022 ahead of her, with forthcoming projects such as a vinyl EP on Cosmic Resonance, releases on Sounds of Berlin (Berlin), plus more to come. As one of the few South Asian women in the electronic modular space, WeTurnToRed is an artist to watch for.
