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!

Rosto familiar na cena Londrina, o DJ Sam Don comanda o programa de rádio Free Association na Radio Netil, e também promove festas com o mesmo nome. 

Seus mixes são sempre ecléticos e inesperados, mas para a nossa edição 98 ele fica firme na hora mais quente da pista: house que acerta no 'sweet spot', um mix que evoca a saudades dos momentos de liberdade, união e amor que os momentos de comunhão musical proporcionam.

I've been asked by Melodic Distraction Radio to curate one of their 'Artist Focus' shows. It's a deep dive into musicians that have defined the sound of modern music; from stone cold classics, unearthed gems and forgotten B sides. I'll present a 60 minute tribute to a single artist who's had a notable impact on my musical life. For this edition I chose to focus on Larry Heard aka MR Fingers. Unquestionably one of electronic music finest pioneers and almost singlehandedly put the deepness in house music, his work sits at the very foundations of the genre. I'll take you through 10 of my choice tracks of his recording career, staying away from some of his more well known productions and digging deep into the back catalogue.

Artist Focus: Larry Heard - Curated By Joe Morris

Soft and dreamy guitar strings play in the opening and reveal the meticulous sensibility of Okee Ruu and Filippo Zenna, two precious collectors and selectors, skilled gems seekers able to build a story with a thousand influences. This mix perfectly merge two complementary personalities in a unique dancing soul. That’s the happy touch we need before the weekend.

We are delighted to share Skymark's beautiful disco, gospel & soul mix, recorded for the occasion of his recent Rush Hour release. 

SKYMARK - FIND A PLACE IN THIS CRAZY WORLD (RON TRENT REMIX) http://bit.ly/SkymarkRHM028

Ron Trent meets Skymark! Two masterminds at work. Ron remixes the mighty Skymark original, and elevates the listener to a whole other place like only he can. 

Trent treats us to one of his deepest, dubbiest jams in recent years - embracing the strength of the song while interweaving his own rhythm throughout.

The original track, here on the flip, featured on Skymark's 2015 'Wave From The Nucleus' LP- a beautiful song from the sun-kissed Swiss musician and producer who resided in Rio de Janeiro for many years, and now in Barcelona.
