Electro
Some people are trying too hard to change themselves and future generations to be this perfect human body through cosmetic surgery and genetic alterations, they just can’t accept who they are and what they look like. We will end up all looking the same - diversity is what makes us unique. A 140bpm Electro track in C minor using programmed sounds and a computerised vocal

Profile

Artist/Band Profile: MUNKIE is the alter-ego of Jason Clark, composer, producer, musician and remixer. The music he creates is a sonic art-form containing many elements of lucious layered instruments that stir the emotions.

Born in Essex, grew up in Devon and is now living in Leeds. “After moving around the country in the early part of my life I feel that this formed my writing style, with never having that sense of belonging. I have always looked on aspects of life from an outsiders point of view, being intrigued by people and personalities”, this inquiring imagination can be heard on both his albums, with the second album “Chemical Process” exploring the darker reaches of the human mind.

Jason and Kate met at the Leeds College of Music where they were both studying, with Jason having an extensive background in music production and composition having been a semi-pro DJ for a while, playing guitar in an Indie Band and creating remixes. He won the Media Records back catalogue to remix in 1998, t

Music Style: The best way to describe this truly original downtempo / electro style music is a long chilled drink that is made up of seventies funk, eighties electro / synth-pop, ska & punk ideals, psychedelic & new wave weirdness with world music to add the flavour

Reviews: Jo Cowap from Zejo Music put it best with - “MUNKIE music is a fantastic blend of ambience and haunting vocals. It’s the kind of album you would put on when you are chilling with a bottle of wine in a candlelit atmosphere, and hopefully someone to enjoy it with. Because you will want to spread the word once you’ve had the total chill out experience this music offers”

Influences: Most of his musical influences are from the 70s and early 80s ranging from David Bowie, The Specials, Joy Division, The Clash to Kraftwerk, RUN DMC and Depeche Mode, this is reflected in his unique music style.
