Mark Grusane presents "Midwest Rhythms Vol. 3" on Disctechno: a compilation of five stripped down, off-kilter house tracks from four producers out of Chicago and Detroit and one from Grusane himself. On the A side is a spaced out synth-laden “Memory Blank” from DJ Slush (aka Eric Schwab) and a pulsing, bass-heavy beatdown on “AYYYO” from Deon Jamar. The B side features Jordan Zawideh’s reverb-heavy drum machine & synth duet “Axolotls”, Mark Grusane’s pounding, in-your-face atonal track “The Recoil”, and finishes with Thomas Xu’s grooving arpeggios on “School Street.” Not to be missed for fans of the contemporary Midwest underground.
STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: Mark Grusane gets together with some more pals for a highly expansive dive into his 'Midwest Rhythms'. Taking cues from jak beat, acid and proto-house, these tracks have their own fiercely independent personality and are guaranteed to get the real club freaks salivating at the mouth.TRACK LISTING
