Mark Forshaw DJ Mix July 2022

The original Mark Grusane visited me before his appearance in Panorama Bar on the 23rd of February at 'Your Love'. Listen back to what might be one of my favorite Front Row Dancer episodes so far.

Front Row Dancer - Nikola & Mark Grusane - 22 Feb 2024

Hours 0-2h14m - The ReFrame
Hour 2h14m -3h26m - Baz & Nova Bradley

Next up on the ReFrame we have the wonderful Baz and Nova, Leeds very own pair of Balearic Archaeologists, not averse to picking their way through Europe's dusty record recesses for the weird the wonderful and mostly elusive oddities! A perfect ReFrame accompaniment... ❤️

I first met Baz one Saturday night not long after COVID restrictions had eased and back playing records at Outlaws Yacht Club. By chance and unknowingly to me he wandered in whilst playing his latest record Exstatic Love on Magic Wand (serious tune). After intros from Shaun we had a good chat that evening and struck up a friendship around similar musical strands. 

Having not seen each other for a little while we caught up at the Bill Brewster talk at Melodie 73 a couple of weeks back and just last week dancing to the wonderful Idjut Boys on a Balmy Sunday evening at Rotation Garden Party 24, a fitting spearhead for finishing this selection and getting this out.

As always the show is made up of lots of personal edits snipped away for maximal dancefloor pressure. This month also sees the first inclusion of the ReFrame There is Nothing Left to do, an Italian 80s oddity beefed up and crafted for the dancefloor.  Featuring music from Ilija Rudman, Shiva, Mark Grusane, Glen Ricks, Minako Yoshida, MOTON, System Olympia, Ourrra, DJ Absolutely Shit, Richenel, Cloud, Yazoo, Sophie Stanke, Private Eye, King B, Random Factor, Phil Gerus, Its Immaterial, Hotaru, Tropiki. Bernardino Femminielli, Deux, Cube, The ReFrame, Exo Fender, The Human League & Foxygen

For those venturing upon the ReFrame for the first time and enjoy what you hear, come join us on the facebook Reframe group for infrequent musical ramblings, show tracklistings, info, updates...we are a nice bunch www.facebook.com/groups/thereframeshow/?fref=ts

1st it’s the People, 2nd it’s the Atmosphere, 3rd it’s the Music, and lastly it’s Presentation. Mark Grusane is a favorite among crowds with eclectic musical taste that party long and hard.

Former co-owner of Mr Peabody Records in Chicago, DJ Mark Grusane has a strong history and knowledge of DJing and Dancefloor culture while being an important go-to-guy for selections amongst a vast pool of international DJ's, Compilers, and Record Labels. Just a little research will instantly show you his influence on DJ Culture, Record Collecting & Digging.

Growing up in Chicago during the early 80’s, Mark - with the help of his older brother - started collecting records and DJing from his pre-teens. During high school he listened to WBMX radio mixes and was producing house tracks inside empty classrooms with his friends during lunch period. By the time Mark was a young adult having music everyone knew and liked was not good enough anymore and so he entered the endless world of searching and seeking music he had yet to discover and his music habits soon reached a level deemed as obsessive. To balance his spending habit, he found himself selling music to older peers, stores and DJs in order to afford more records for himself. This finally lead him into founding Mr. Peabody Records with Mike Cole a fellow fanatic, in 2004, aiming to become a world class resource for all genres of obscure music and indeed Mr Peabody Records became a destination point for many DJ's and Music Lovers. Sadly, the brick and mortar store closed shop in 2012. However we’re lucky Mark still collects and continues to play music to dancers and clubbers around the world.

His style is derived from his unique persona, many years of collecting dance music and knowing how to move people with it. Although totally capable, Mark isn't your typical cookie cutter style DJ. He has his own signature way of presenting records with a focus to play quality, obscure, heart pounding, "Make You Get Up And Move” music.

Having co-compiled two albums, The Real Sound of Chicago and The Real Sound of Chicago and Beyond for BBE, DJ and producer Mark Grusane steps out of the shadows to present ‘The Real Sound Of Mark Grusane’.
A highly personal selection of modern soul, disco and a little touch of boogie, these rare tracks have all been respectfully edited, chopped up or extended by Mark himself. Apart from the odd private vinyl pressing, or occasionally handing an edit over to close friends and DJs such as fellow BBE artist Sadar Bahar, Mark has never before made these tracks available (despite the throng of people waiting around to ask each time he finishes a set).
Mark Grusane first came to the attention of BBE Music back in 2010 when he was running specialist Chicago record shop Mr Peabody. He and his partner went on to create two of the label’s most sought-after soul compilations, thanks to the unmatched combination of rarity and quality expressed in the duo’s selections. Still living in Chicago, still buying and selling records, Mark has also built up a sizable discography of edits and original productions on various labels, now finding his prodigious DJ skills in high demand across the globe.
Each track on ‘The Real Sound Of Mark Grusane’ has a tale to tell, precious treasures unearthed by one of the hardest working and dedicated crate diggers in the game. From an edit he made at the age of 21 to a record he discovered last year whilst in London for a gig at The BBE Store, this collection is testament to a life spent completely immersed in music.

Founded in 1996 by Peter Adarkwah, Barely Breaking Even (BBE Music) started life as a London club night, taking its name from the eponymous Disco record by the Universal Robot Band.

The label grew from the vibrant early 90's club scene with its first release, Stop & Listen compiled by Dr Bob Jones in 1996, opening the door to iconic series' such as All Back To Mine & Late Nite Tales.

A tonne of releases followed, ranging from Disco to Funk, Jazz to House. In the year 2000, the label celebrated Masters at Work's 10th Anniversary with a mighty box set that featured near 80 tracks.

A year later BBE Music spawned the Beat Generation Series of artist albums, notably introducing J Dilla (Welcome 2 Detroit) & a young Will.I.Am's first solo outing, alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff, Madlib & DJ Spinna, all of whom contributed to this seminal set of long players.

A quarter of a century and well over 500 titles later, having worked with Mark Ronson, Roy Ayers, Questlove, Hugh Masekela, DJ Premier, Dimitri from Paris, Joey Negro, Kon, RZA, Laurent Garnier, Black Coffee, DJ Shadow, David Rodigan and John Morales among many others, BBE Music looks to the future, celebrating its rich heritage while continuing to release a bounty of fresh titles.

The label’s most recent projects include an expansive reissue series from pioneering Nigerian label Tabansi, new imprint ‘Batakari’ in association with Boddhi Satva and the critically acclaimed ‘J Jazz’ Japanese Jazz multi-album project, not to mention the recent landmark 500th label release: a brand new version of 'Barely Breaking Even', featuring Leroy Burgess, Patrick Adams and Louie Vega.

In 2021 BBE Music is celebrating its 25th anniversary. To mark this milestone, the label is offering up some special projects, from the 20th Anniversary edition of J Dilla’s ‘Welcome 2 Detroit’, through David Bowie tribute album ‘Modern Love’, to a special new ‘Worldwide’ compilation from old friend Gilles Peterson. BBE Music will also be looking to the future with more exciting original artist projects, plus merch collaborations events and more...

Late night sessions used to be  a weekly radio show  presented by Disco B and Dino Tziara on  www.rodonfm.net . Show started back in 2010 is not availiable any longer.I record some sets every now and then for my soundcloud friends.
