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.
