Munk “Mis Labios” (Video)

Mis Labios – the new single from Munk‘s “The Bird and The Bird” album came out last week and is getting full support by London first league DJs such as Fatboy Slim, Horse Meat Disco, Annie Mac and many others. (Check the amazing Joyce Muniz and Black Van remixes).

After all the boring clishee piano house tracks of last year this song brings pianos and house on another level. Call it Acid Boogaloo, Barrio House or Latindisco. Its a heavy Latin Piano riff in the style of late 70ies New York Salsa that meets 90ies Acid sounds and nasty Spanish vocals. You ever heard a track like this?

Video made by German upcoming photographer Jan Schuenke, Germany leading street illustrator and writer PAZE, and Maceo. Edited by Matthias Dörfler.
