“I don't wanna muddle in a puddle of futility, won't bow down to a world of sterility...” sings [munk] on “Fertility (Bed Sheet Mix)", a new tune from his Planet Killers project. A well-respected producer and multi-instrumentalist, [munk] has always been able to cover a lot of musical ground, deftly mining everything from mainstream pop gold to edgy, experimental electronic jams. His sense of traditional pop songcraft is flawless, his studio savvy pure techno-magic.

Such a wide range of musical inspiration may seem like a blessing, but it can also be a curse in a stuffy industry so shackled to the idea of “genre.” For this prolific artist it has been hard, at times, to explain himself musically. “Some days I want to be Rage Against The Machine,” he says, “and other days I want to BE the machine.”

“I came up with Planet Killers to explore a palette of rhythmic anti-pop experimentation,” says [munk], “It’s a search for the deepest grooves I can muster. Not only in the beats constructed, but "groove" represented in vocal rhythms. I'm looking for the ultimate pocket that makes the world want to fuck.”

Exclusively released on Myspace, Planet Killers takes a death ray to the music industry paradigm that demands a neat fit into a record store bin category.
