MUNKIE is the alter-ago of a highly professional and talented, Leeds based, Producer and Musician, Jason Clark. He creates music that is a sonic art-form containing many elements of lucious layered instruments to stir the emotions and engage the mind. This truly original downtempo / melodic electronica style music has been described as a long chilled drink containing elements of Electro, Funk, New Wave, Psychadelia and Ska with World music to add the flavour.
“Lush, downtempo electro-pop tracks from MUNKIE, with Kate Peters delivering some strong vocals. One thing for sure, you can be under no illusions as to the depth of MUNKIEs (aka Jason Clark) talent. Highly accomplished understanding of production and songwriting. There is enormous potential here” Danny Turner -Barcode Magazine
Jason and Kate met at the Leeds College of Music where they were both studying. Jason has an extensive background in music production and composition having been a professional DJ and creating remixes for various labels. This includes the Media Records back catalogue. Other remixes include;
Beck -Mixed Bizness,
Tweaker - Microsized Boy,
Baldwin Brothers - Dream Girl,
Liberty-X - Just a Little Bit,
Lo-Fi Allstars - Somebody Needs You
Fila Brazillia - DNA
MUNKIE was formed from a recording session in a Leeds studio, where Jason was producing a track and Kate was the singer. Kate, being an accomplished vocalist added depth, sex and sass to the tracks, which gave them an extra dimension. She has extensive previous experience with performing in covers bands, providing top-line vocals and teaching music.
MUNKIE are gaining recognition for their music having been nominated for Best Electronica Albim 2006 in the JPF Awards in LA, USA. Also the track ‘Dreams (are there)’ entered the top 50 US Billboard Unsigned Charts in 2006 through downloads. The track “Antidote to Strychnine” reached 5 in the All-Time charts on the Garageband website.
Looking to the future, MUNKIE are highly driven to be successful. They are motivated by the thought of headlining at the Glastonbury Festival and a UK and USA 1 album. Jason also wants to be involved with composing movie and computer game soundtracks, this has already been displayed with his involvement with independent film makers and music libraries. He would also love to produce a well-known artist’s album.
“Jason has yet again proved that he’s a talented young man. His production is something to be proud of. The layered synths, processed beats and programmed everything else are not easy to achieve. Yet he’s put so much attention to detail, it’s hard to fault” Gavin Miller - Leeds Music Scene
On a final note Jason says, “I love making music, it’s a major part of my life and enjoy all the aspects of music production. The reason is that I like the reaction from people when they listen to what I have created whether this is positive or negative. I like to think that somehow I can make a difference to someone’s day.”
