Mark Grusane

Hot Biscuit Recordings, a shadowy imprint reportedly based in the North East of England, is rapidly building up an impressive catalogue of dusty and by and large on-point re-edits, many by confirmed underground heroes such as Rahaan, the Idjut Boys and storied Chicago crate digger Mark Grusane. It’s he who heads up the label’s latest expansive edit double-pack, racing through revisions of killer cuts of the sort that onlty dedicated disco diggers will know. Amongst the scalpel style edit treats on show are a driving, electric piano-sporting peak-time disco instrumental (‘Disco Phobia’), a soaring, string-drenched treat (the heavily orchestrated sweetness of ‘Jack’s Groove’), a swelling disco-soul special from Philadelphia (‘Stay Close’) and an interstellar ride to the outer limits of the disco galaxy (the loopy and breathless ‘Disco In Outerspace’).
