Chicago house luminary Mark Grusane is on a prolific roll right now, with records flying out the past two years on all kinds of labels. After serving them the Bad Cavity EP last year, Grusane is back on HEAT AMSTERDAM with another four joints from the wild frontier of what house and techno should be. There's a little of Relief Records' renegade spirit in the rawness of these tracks, and more than a little inherent wonkiness which will find favour with DJs questing for a specific kind of unhinged groove. Just marvel at how 'Take You There' edges right to the back of the groove without falling off the edge, while 'Something Out Of The Ordinary' deals in low down dirty pings and rugged drum bump. 'Shazam' is an alarm calling out from the depths of space, and 'Time Warp' happily jacks up the intensity for something bordering on acid techno without the obvious 303 tropes in place.
