Meek presents "Tare"; a eurphoric gurgling, crackling, blopping, popping, bubbling mutation of microhouse and 4 on on the
floor idm! Also featuring a remix from the reliable hit-team of Nuthre & Vaughn, who convince Meek's house to swing,
shuffle, rock & rewind! This is the debut full-length online album by Meek (aka Mike Baugh) who currently resides in
Montreal, QC amongst his friends the Anti-Capitalist Ass-Pirates! Meek is their teknoid hero who does the job of pumping
out the heartbeat of his most illest queer tribe vibe.

"Tare", an online release for BricoLodge, represents a bit of 'reverse engineering' - an experiment in restraint prompted
by a disillusion with brute-force programming and a gear-makeover. While his other releases have travelled a road
increasingly more complex, more fractured and more detailed, "Tare" is pared down, more rhythmic and steady, sugary but
dense. 4/4 beats supply the foundation on which twisting and choppy vocal samples and un-imposing melodies are errected.
And quite often as soon as a steady groove is constructed, the foundation shifts as Meek reverts to more comfortable
territory - rhythms that skitter and trip, only hinting at a downbeat. The irony is refreshing.

Thanks to travis "panty-pincher" bourque for vocal samples, moohk for words, and assorted ass-pirates from montreal,
calgary, and vancouver. special thanks to marco "h2o" pascolini, jon vaughn & carrie gates.

artist_bio

Meek is the 7 year old spawn of 23 year old Mike Baugh, currently residing in Montreal, Canada. His hometown of Calgary is
not much to speak of as an inspiration, especially for a queer anti-capitalist ass-pirate aspiring to make innovative,
unforgetable, and absorbing abstract beats. However, this 'meek bug', though raised in the prairies, leaves behind him an
impressive musical resume including 4 independent releases (CDR1, 2, 3, self-titled), spots on 5 comps (FatCat, Worm
Interface, Six Records, Meson Octet, and forthcoming NFB/Cocosolidciti), and live performances across the country with the
likes of unit, stewart walker and pan sonic.

Mike Baugh's musical career began unexpectedely when he picked up a rack-mount synthesizer his dad bought to create drum
beats to play guitar to. Too young to be able to afford a more user-friendly synthesizer, Meek learned the ins and outs
of MIDI and synthesis on a 1" X 2" LCD. as the years progressed, so did his technical proficiency and taste for electronic
music that pushed through boundaries and genres. Now that he is trained in audio post-production, Meek has developed a
penchant for solid production and a much more critical ear.

In the future expect simplified programming, making use of more frequently repeating but carefully crafted sounds. The past
year has seen him climbing the dauntingly steep learning curve presented by more flexible tools such as NI Reaktor and the
Nord Modular, and he vows that in the coming months we can expect to hear some, if not inimitable, at least obtuse dance
music. "I know it sounds really academic but what's really exciting me about music is further abstracting the part i play
in a song's evolution." We will be listening.
