Toooooooomaaaaasonido de la junglaaaaaaaaaaa

Boy are we excited to share this one!

Chicago legend, deepest of diggers, editor, producer, collector, Mark Grusane!

Mark Grusane is a Chicago treasure whose relationship with the dancefloor goes back to the 80s. With a special instinct for what makes people move, his unique approach to DJing brings together obscure genres of dance music with passion, style and panache.
Music has always been an integral part of Mark Grusane’s life, from his Chicago childhood in the early ‘80s to his globe-trotting career as a DJ and producer. His passionate, intuitive style coupled with an encyclopedic knowledge of all things house and disco has made him a favorite among dancers and DJs alike.

Mark’s selections always come from the heart, mixing technical prowess with perfectly timed groovy selections that are not just obscure but also filled with emotion. His unique style and command over the dancefloor comes from a lifetime of digging, listening and making music. Growing up surrounded by numerous individuals involved in Chicago DJ, music and club culture played a crucial role in his upbringing, shaping him into the person he is today. Mark started collecting music with his older brother as a pre-teen, his early taste also shaped by the sound of local radio WBMX. In high school he was already DJing on college radio WKKC and spending his lunch breaks making music with friends.
 
With his record collection exponentially growing and his thirst for music nowhere near quenched, he began to sell some to his peer and older DJs. This passion led to creation of Mr. Peabody Records with fellow music fanatic Mike Cole in 2004, which soon became a go-to source for local and international diggers alike.

Sadly the brick-and-mortar store closed its doors in 2012, but Mark continued to bring his incessant curiosity and love for music into the world through compilations and edits series. He now runs the Disctechno Music, which aims to showcase his diverse passion for dance music from friends and affiliates, as well as his own original productions.

Mark has played many revered clubs and festivals, such as Dekmantel, Panoramabar, Bassiani, Djoon and Nowadays. 

Be it through his mixes, DJ sets, edits or productions, Mark always knows how to create a cohesive, highly emotional narrative you’re bound to want to revisit over and over again. Tour dates for 2021 are pending, Stay Tuned.

Thanks Mark! Enjoy the ride listeners!

Ep 326 w/ Jerome Derradji

For our 25th mix we're welcoming Amsterdam based selector DJ Tracksuit, who's supplied an hour and a half of beautiful world rhythms.

We've known Tim for a few years, having linked up previously when he did a mix for our 24 hour Live For Love fundraiser livestream during lockdown. His music taste and knowledge runs seriously deep, and is a DJ we're consistently blown away by. This mix is no different, and shows off his style and versatility.

DJ Tracksuit says: "I’ve been wanting to record this mix for a while but had troubles with turntables, tonearms, needles and in general, a very busy 2022. The result is a full vinyl mix of (mostly) psychedelic and percussive grooves from some of my favourite musical countries (Guadeloupe, Cape Verde & Haiti). Starting at 75 or so BPM all the way up to well over double that in a bit less than an hour and a half. I can imagine an Apricot Ballroom party have a similar (but more stretched out) progression! Protest music, slow & fast Gwo Ka or Zouk, Compas, Carnaval music. It’s all in there, including some of my all time favourite songs. Hope you enjoy and thank you for having me Apricot Ballroomers! ❤"

Grimy Disco Mix... Hot Lava

Then There's Me

"There is no specific theme or thought to this mix, but here’s a little background on this recording. I often study my records to learn the smoothest  entry and exiting points for mixing. I normally handle this process by mixing and experimenting in my basement. Sometimes I record these sessions, this happens to be one of those recordings. Most of the sessions aren’t playable because there’s generally quite a bit of starting and stopping, but this particular recording lasted almost an hour. The track listing is all over the place, but they normally are." - Tone B. Nimble
