Kapote

Kapote is the stage name of Mathias Modica, an Italian producer, DJ, pianist, and A&R whose work sits at the intersection of jazz-inflected house music and club-oriented electronic production. He is also known under the alias Munk.

Born in Rome in 1977, Modica has been active as both an artist and a label figure. In 1999 he founded Gomma Rec, and in 2014 he launched the independent label Toy Tonics, a platform closely associated with his own releases and broader A&R activity. Alongside his work as Kapote, Modica’s profile includes production and DJ work that draws on his background as a pianist, linking live musicianship with dancefloor formats.

Modica’s recorded output as Kapote has been connected with labels including Toy Tonics and City Slang. His role as an A&R further reflects a parallel career in curating and developing music beyond his own projects, complementing his work as a performer and studio producer.
