This week’s Podcast comes from Gomma boss and genius producer Munk, the man responsible for the excellent new album The Bird And The Beat and countless remixes over the years. It was on his rework of Etienne De Crecy / Super Discount’s Someone Like You back in 2004 that we first discovered him, and since then electro-funk-disco reworkings for many of his peers and colleagues.

That’s what this mix is all about – the Best Of Munk’s Remixes, if you like. If you dig his fresh, summery sounds – and how could you not, quite frankly? – make sure you check out his new album. Oh, and our feature with him coming shortly…

Sum up this podcast in 10 words…
House not House – Disco not Disco – techno nit Techno – Pop not Pop.

Yeasayer: Madder Red (Munk Remix).

What’s the special ingredient in this mix?
