***Midwich is proud to present MOON POOL & DEAD BAND's MEQ (pronounced MEK--futurespeak for ‘mech’), an album of swinging, dirty, analog techno-funk, created with mountains of old synthesizers. MEQ consists of Moon Pool and Dead Band’s earliest track, reworked by some of Detroit’s (and ex-Detroit) best producers: PATRICK RUSSELL, BMG (BRENDEN M. GILLEN of ECTOMORPH), JTC (JAMES T. COTTON, DABRYE, CHARLES MANIER aka TADD MULLINEX), ICE COLD CHRISSY, MICHAEL DYKEHOUSE, EMO THE INFERNO, and NATE YOUNG in WOLF EYES mode. MEQ plays like an album, rather than a collection of remixes. The remixers were supplied with “stems” nearly one-half hour long, leaving each with an abundance of raw material at their disposal. There are no cloying, repetitive vocal hooks to disrupt the sonic narrative. Deep, dystopian techno-funk is delivered with the unerring raw assurance that only seasoned masters could deliver, leaving the music’s rough edges appealingly unvarnished. The strong, danceable music is rugged enough to test the limits of any club sound-system, yet contains nuances, subtleties and warmth that make it ideal for home listening. Mastered by RUUD LEKX (Rude 66) and cut by JOSH BONATI at Bonati Mastering in NYC. MEQ comes housed in a wide full-color UV gloss jacket featuring artwork by renowned sci-fi illustrator, MARK SALWOWSKI. Layout by designer BETH HALL. Includes a download. (STREET DATE - 7/17/2015)
