While his talents have been recognised commercially, Mustafa Gündoğdu has maintained his underground pedigree by consistently pushing the boundaries of electronic music, curating an illustrious catalogue that remains evergreen.
Mousse T.’s first step in the music industry was playing keyboards for the relatively under-the-radar band Fun Key B, where he began his experimentation with synth- pop, and funk infused sounds. Hungry for more, Mousse T. was also already forging his solo career, opening his own recording studio and DJing on Hannover’s growing club scene. Along with his own productions, Mousse T.’s writing and producing credits read like a who’s who of the music industry, having worked with artists such as Roy Ayers, Byron Stingily, Andreya Triana, Bootsy Collins and Randy Crawford to name a few.
With all his hard work solidifying the foundations for his career, Mustafa took the plunge in 1993 and launched Peppermint Jam records, a pioneering label still renowned for its unique uplifting house music and melodic acid jazz. By the late 90’s Mousse T. was a household name, dominating the charts with releases such as ‘Horny’ and Tom Jones ‘Sex Bomb’. This success was followed by an Ivor-Novello Award, Grammy Award nomination and three studio albums, most recently releasing Where Is The Love in 2018, a charismatic and sophisticated reminder of his gifted abilities.
His other recent achievements include appearing as a judge on DSDS (Germany’s Got Talent) and producing film soundtracks for a number of German titles. With no signs of slowing down, Mousse T. continues to be one of the most prolific producers in the game, putting his signature shizzle touch on tracks like Mike Dunn´s „If I can’t git down“, Horse Meat Disco´s „Love if you need it“, Flight Facilities ft. Channel Tres „Lights up“, Selace´s „Hooked on your lovin´“ and Davie´sTestify" „ to Spiller´s „Groovejet“, as well as releasing his own productions constantly, DJing across the globe with residencies at parties like Glitterbox and continuing to uphold the legacy of his own label, Peppermint Jam.
Mousse T. is currently residing on the Glitterbox roster with Colluded Management. His recent gigs include playing at Hï Ibiza, Viper Room Los Angeles, Cavo Paradiso Mykonos, Amnesia Ibiza, Pacha Ibiza, Creamfields Festival, Cocoon Club Frankfurt, Loveparade, Rex Club Paris and Montreux Jazz Festival, with his live band. Whether it’s behind the decks or on the keys, with Mousse T. in control the night is guaranteed to be special.
His garage house track "Horny '98" featuring Hot 'n' Juicy (Emma Lanford & Inaya Day) on vocals reached the top of the Billboard dance charts in the late 1990s. His first album, Gourmet de Funk, was released in 2001, and it was notorious for featuring only jazz music, and no house tracks. In 2004, he entered the UK Single Chart with his song "Is It 'Cos I'm Cool?", which is featured on his second album, All Nite Madness, released in 2004.
Fire
Mousse T. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deeper red in the Fahrenheit’s
Temperature is high lyin' here with you
so satisfied with the things you do.
No need for conversation no need for words
let your love an electric blue whatever you prefer.
Yeh I'm on fire baby ya I'm on fire.
Star-spangled carnival parades on by
Magic like the first time we were eye to eye
Say Ya don't like the taste of coffee
and you sure hate tea
but you could shoot a shot of whiskey
in your good company.
So what started out as one drink
became half a dozen
and you said yours in the mood
for some good extra lovin'
I'm on fire baby Yeh I'm burnin'
Yeh I'm on fire baby Feel me burnin'.
I'm on fire baby I'm on fire
I'm on fire baby ya I'm on fire.
Nobody turn the fire out
I need it hot when you're aba-out
You're body heat will set me free
My mind is there and body
I'm on fire baby I'm on fire
I'm on fire baby Ya I'm on fire
Fire burnin'....
Fire burnin'....
I'm on fire
Yeah I'm burnin'
I'm on fire baby
Yeah I'm burnin'
In this song, Mousse T. is expressing the intense passion and desire he has for his lover. The temperature is high and they are lying together, satisfied with each other's company. They don't need to talk or use words, they can let their love speak for itself. The chorus, "I'm on fire baby, yeah I'm burning" repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the intensity of their love and physical attraction.
The second verse describes a scene of a joyful carnival parade passing by, but the focus is still on the passion between the two lovers. They may have started with just one drink, but now they can't get enough of each other. Mousse T.'s partner may not like coffee or tea, but they can take a shot of whiskey together and enjoy each other's company. The heat and intensity of the relationship continues to build, and Mousse T. can't get enough.

Blazes a raise keeps me home tonight
The flames from the fire are so intense that it is better to stay at home tonight
Deeper red in the Fahrenheit’s
The temperature is rising rapidly, making things hotter than expected
Temperature is high lyin' here with you
Being with you is causing my body temperature to increase, making me feel hot
so satisfied with the things you do.
I am deeply contented with everything that you do for me.
No need for conversation no need for words
Silence is enough for us to understand each other
let your love an electric blue whatever you prefer.
Allow your love to shine like a bright light and choose the way you want to show it
I'm on fire baby I'm on fire
I feel consumed by passion and desire
Yeh I'm on fire baby ya I'm on fire.
Feeling this way is overwhelming but also exciting
Star-spangled carnival parades on by
There are many distractions around us, but we remain focused on each other
Magic like the first time we were eye to eye
Being together still feels as magical as the very first time we met
Say Ya don't like the taste of coffee
You have certain preferences that I am aware of
and you sure hate tea
Tea is not something you enjoy, that is clear
but you could shoot a shot of whiskey in your good company.
You are good company and being around you makes even something you don't like enjoyable
So what started out as one drink
The evening began with just one drink
became half a dozen
But we enjoyed each other's company so much more drinks followed
and you said yours in the mood for some good extra lovin'
You expressed a desire for more affection and love
Nobody turn the fire out
We want to keep the passion and desire burning
I need it hot when you're aba-out
I want to be with you and feel the intensity of our connection
You're body heat will set me free
Being near you and feeling your warmth is liberating
My mind is there and body
I am experiencing a deep connection between my body and mind
Fire burnin'....
The intensity of passion and desire is overwhelming
I'm on fire
I am consumed by fierce desire and passion
Yeah I'm burnin'
The intensity of my feelings is overwhelming but exciting
I'm on fire baby
My desire for you is consuming me
Yeah I'm burnin'
I'm overwhelmed by passion and desire
