Loose Chains

Ain’t no party like a Mike Mare party, ‘cause a Mike Mare party don’t…wait, Mike Mare? The New York City sound scientist that's known for leaving a trail of dazed, deafened music connoisseurs around the world? The captain of experimental outfit Destructo Swarmbots? The guy who contributes an extra layer of MASSIVE to hip-hop pioneers Dälek’s punishing sound and every other group he's had the opportunity to work with. That’s right, fucker. A Mike Mare party has everyone dancing to off center beats as the night gets blurrier. Bands working at the outer reaches of heavy music, like ISIS and Genghis Tron, have handed their songs over to him for remix treatment. And now, in his most evil and insidious move ever, Mare has set his sights on the dance floor with a beat-oriented confluence of what he hears in his head as pop music. It's a genesis of Mare’s treks through Europe with Destructo Swarmbots and Dälek. After people were sonically assaulted by both groups the after parties were another beast. Big Bass and Beats (which Mare has always adored) and people partying into the wee hours of the morning. These parties quickly became a ritual, and after many years of abusing guitars. In the summer of 2009 Mare got back home from tour and was inspired to put down the guitar and capture what it’s like after the show. With an army of collaborators from his years of handing out sonic punishment, songs constantly evolve into new and different forms. What you hear recorded, sounds brand new in his DJ sets. Songs will feature guest vocalists as well as Mare's own voice (which hasn't been heard since his days in punk bands). F.Y.I, he’s not kidding about infecting the mainstream with these songs. Because really, how sick would it be if teenagers started getting into what the guy from Destructo Swarmbots was putting out? You can call him crazy if you want, but the only thing that matters is that he sees you moving your ass on the dance floor.
