In This Paradox

Mosquito Control Music releases their fourth single “In this Paradox,” continuing the nostalgic journey of 80’s and 90’s dance club music combining breakbeat and rock. This song slides into the 90’s electro rock and big beat recalling bands like The Prodigy and the Chemical Brothers. MCM’s distinct approach of using all guitars instead of keyboards gives a vintage vibe to their riffs and bass lines capturing the specific sounds of the era. This is then layered on a foundation of break drum loops programmed with the iconic Roland TR-808. The recurring music video theme dubbed “Vintage Movie Collage” features the 1951 Sci-fi thriller “The Day the Earth Stood Still.” In 2024, Mosquito Control released their first single, “Electric Shock!” receiving over 20k streams on Spotify, as well as high praise from the indie press. The breakout music video technique, which featured the 1930’s Sci-fi horror “Frankenstein” and “Bride of Frankenstein’ exposed an innovative avenue for artists to consider with low budgets. The follow up singles, “The Pendulum” and “Negative Space” concluded MCM’s first Ep, “Side 1” with music videos highlighting the 1960’s cult classics “Carnival of Souls” and “The Last Man on Earth.” In 2023, while listening to a playlist from 1989 with mixed artists like Egyptian Lover, New Order and The Cult; co-producers, Tim Ganard and Bruce Bouillet set out to create their own brand of high-energy music that melded the spirit of these styles in a new way. Shortly after, Mosquito Control Music emerged as a heavy dance rock project inspired by the all-night clubs of the 80’s when turntables reigned supreme. In Southern Louisiana, the place to be was the Famous Kingfish club which continues to be the driving force behind MCM’s offering of hypnotic dance tunes for music enthusiasts of the past and present. In 1994, while managing a Public Storage facility in Van Nuys. CA, Tim Ganard met Bruce Bouilliet building his first recording studio. At that time, Bruce was placing aside his own bands, Racer-X and The Scream to focus on his engineering skills. Over the next few years, Bruce produced and recorded many local artists including Tim’s band “Wingnut Supreme” landing them an indie deal in 1995 with T.O.N. Records Hollywood. His band toured the US via William Morris Agency in support of their single “Status Quo,” playing with Sick of it All, Unsane, Bloodlet and Speedealer as well as showcasing SXSW in 1997. In 1999, Wingnut Supreme disbanded, leaving the duo to start a new project, “American Murder,” signing with Elektra Records in 2001 just after the 911 terrorist attacks. “American Murder” respectfully changed their name to “Epidemic” coproducing their debut LP with Rick Parashar at legendary, London Bridge Studios in Seattle, WA. A Famous Publishing deal followed as their self-titled album reached #11 on CMJ’s Loud Rock Charts and their single “Walk Away,” reached #34 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Charts. “Walk Away” was also placed on EA Sports Madden NFL 2003 while the band toured the US and Canada with Nickelback, Jerry Cantrell, Seether and Breaking Benjamin. The band stayed on the road through 2003 playing festivals with bands like Rob Zombie, P.O.D., Hatebreed and Kittie, before writing and producing a new album “Dilemma,” which was never released. During the next 20 years, Bruce went on to write and release several solo albums and formed the Bottomdwellerz who collaborated with George Clinton for their single “Lap of Luxury.” Bouillet toured with Paul Gilbert and Racer-X on G3 tour and won a Grammy for his work with Bob Kulick recording, and mixing Motörhead’s cover of “Whiplash”. Meanwhile, Ganard founded “The Mudbug Brass Band” in 2011, performing New Orleans Jazz and Funk for a decade in Southern Cali, charting twice on the Roots Music Report. In 2023, Bruce and Tim finally reconnected and M.C.M. was born. www.mosquitocontrolmusic.com
