Jürgen Mutschall aka JamX began his DJing career playing across the genres from House, to Funk, Soul, R&B and Hip Hop. In 1990 he became a resident at Mega Club Centre EXTRA, in Koblenz, Germany and towards the mid nineties began focusing on his own musical career. After opening a record store, Vinyl Underground, he began organising parties in local the area, during which he met De Leon with whom he later teamed up with to form JamX & De Leon, aka Dumonde. At the end of 1997 they had released the single, ‘Tomorrow’, which had gone on to gain widespread support from both top name DJs and radio stations alike, bringing them to the attention of German Trance scene and on to remixing the likes of Push’s ‘Universal Nation’ and Love’s ‘Coming Down’.

They are now on the forefront of the post-punk/new wave revival with The Slits, Sonic Youth, Pere Ubu, Mekons, Gang Of Four & James Chance…
Their primal, almost animal energy is still intact after all these years, and can be felt in their very latest record.
Very Very Happy features two unpublished tracks, Nails and Motorhead, plus six that were just re-recorded at the Looking Glass Studios, New York, in the same way the group wanted to do it from the beginning, without getting a chance until now.
The album got three new music videos, including the reprise of Ed Steinberg’s classic, Too Many Creeps, which stages the devastating reality of the urban disintegration at the end of the 70s and the beginning of the 80s.

The album focuses on Randy’s own work on funky flute — and features some really great grooves with a sweetly jazzy style! Given Muller’s pedigree in classic club, the rhythms here are a lot better than you’d hear on similar albums of this nature — never too smooth, nor too polished — always nicely chunky, and often a bit funky — a perfect setting for Randy’s sweetly gliding solos on flute!
Most titles are instrumental, but there are a bit of vocals on the record too.
