Once a shadowy dude making grey-market mash-ups, Danger Mouse became one of pop's most versatile producers thanks to his keen ear for contrast. On Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy", woozy doo-wop meets crisp boom bap, while hip-hop minimalism infuses The Black Keys' rocking "Strange Times". On Gorillaz's "Dirty Harry", his whimsical instincts give us irresistibly slinky funk and a children's chorus.
