South Korean-Australian artist Munan kicks off the year with his emphatic new single, "Stoked & Stoned," a track that effortlessly bridges the gap between house, disco, and grunge-rock. This genre-blending approach marks an exciting new chapter in Munan’s evolving sound and teases what’s to come on his forthcoming EP.
"Stoked & Stoned is one of the oldest and most meaningful tracks in my upcoming project. It draws inspiration from a dive bar of the same name, which was our go-to spot for weekend hangouts. The place held a special energy, full of memories shared with old friends and new faces. This track is my tribute to the atmosphere, the people, and the music that made the bar such a special place." – Munan
"Stoked & Stoned" is more than just a catchy title—it’s a heartfelt tribute to a dive bar of the same name, a place Munan frequented with friends, and a wellspring of inspiration for this track. The song pulses with a driving house groove, anchored by a hypnotic bassline that Munan recorded in his modest studio setup. Yet, it’s the gritty, grunge-rock disco edge that sets this track apart, infusing a raw, nostalgic energy that mirrors the dive bar’s atmosphere.
Munan’s ability to weave together these contrasting elements speaks to his artistic versatility. The smooth, danceable rhythms of house and disco intertwine seamlessly with the rougher textures of grunge-rock, creating a soundscape that's entirely unique from the incredible artist…
