Detroit’s DJ Slush presents his debut solo EP Model Collapse with five versatile tracks inspired by classic stripped down Midwest house & techno. The EP marks the launch of Polytechnic Recordings – a new sub-label of Mark Grusanes Disctechno Music – run by Eric Schwab (DJ Slush) & Grusane. Following his productions on the Midwest Rhythms series, Model Collapse delivers more jacking drum machine programming, spacey & melodic synth lines, and a few psychedelic elements, with nods to the early years of deep house & proto-techno, packaged in a full color jacket sleeve.

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.
