Murk (also known by several other names, including Funky Green Dogs)^[1] is a house-music production team composed of Ralph Falcón and Oscar Gaetan. It formed in Miami in 1991.^[2] The group had seven consecutive singles that topped Billboard's Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.^[3]

Career

Murk has a vast back catalog of compositions dating from the early 1990s, including "Some Lovin'", "Reach For Me" and "Every Now and Then," and many newer tracks such as "Fired up!" (#80 on the Billboard Hot 100), "The Way," "Dark Beat," "Doesn't Really Matter," and "Believe." Murk also performed as Funky Green Dogs. Besides Murk's two members, the group included vocalist Pamala Williams, who left the group after the release of the Get Fired Up! album. She was replaced by Tamara Wallace, who has been the lead singer ever since.

Gaetan and Falcón also released songs under the names Liberty City and Oscar G & Ralph Falcón. The latter also recorded solo as the Fog and Gaetan as Oscar G and Dynamo Electrix. Murk is also credited for a remix of "Fever" by Madonna on the 12-inch single of the same name.

Murk scored a major hit in 2003 called "Some Lovin" with American singer Kristine W. Murk is currently signed to the label Tommy Boy Entertainment.

In addition, Ralph and Oscar have established themselves as skilled DJs, being in demand around the world at clubs such as Space, the various Crobar nightclubs, the various Pacha venues, and many others. Both of them continue to create hits both together and as solo artists.
