When I think of Munk, my first thought isn't subtle electro house. When I think of French touch godfather Etienne De Crecy, my first thought isn't subtle electro-house either. Yet somehow, the two of them have managed to cobble together a fantastic............subtle electro house number.
Munk's remix of 'No Brain' is a dark and dirty affair, despite its predominently understated and minimal beat and bass. The low electro ripples and murmurs ride in the back seat whilst a series of short melodies take centre stage, making the beat fresh and inventive at regular intervals. Though this kind of short, sharp change could become annoying if overused, Munk has applied restraint and a delicate touch to make each one familiar but unique.
The most interesting of these 'mini riffs' is the one that begins at 2.18 though. It's hard to describe, but it sounds like the twisted reworking of some sort of childrens theme. It should be so happy and bouncy, yet its sinister and eerily intriguing. Its the audio version of a clown, they're meant to make kids smile with joy, but they just end up making most cry with fear.
Great remix of a top track and well worth the pennies in your digital pocket.
