Seasons change, Spare Parts returns.
Mark Grusane is a Chicago original. One of the first DJs to weave post-punk into dance music, his sets move with a logic that’s entirely his own. He rides hypnotic, minimal jack tracks that lock you into a groove he calls “trance”, before pivoting without warning to an obscure disco gem you’ve never heard but immediately love. Which is probably why he calls his label “Disctechno”. Mark is a lifelong digger, record shop legend, and kind human being with a style unlike anyone else’s. He’s played Dekmantel, Panorama Bar, and Nowadays, so you definitely don’t want to miss him in 3 weeks at Spare Parts.

Tony G is a music lover and disc jockey based in Chicago. Born and raised in Rochester, NY, he found the dancefloor in New York City in the early oughts, co-founding underground label and party machine Sorry Records and cutting his teeth DJing around the city before moving to Chicago in 2023. His enthusiasm for physical media and customer service led him to a job at Gramaphone Records shortly upon landing in the city. Tony is known for his omnivorous selections and big hearted blends, and promises to always keep you guessing while he’s at the controls.
Along with Antic mainstays QTC and Nate T, get ready to mark your calendars for 4 hours of minimal selections on January 30th. Flyer by @qtc_chicago . Tickets at the link in our bio🎟️
Paddy and I play the nightlife capitol of America, Knoxville TN this weekend! I’ll be around til Monday afternoon also if anyone wants to do IRL stuff.
@companyprocessing and I will be temporarily taking @itspaddym ’s place this Friday at Sportsman’s Club. We hope Paddy has a wonderful time on his vacation to Nebraska and that he comes back relaxed and refreshed from his time under the corn husk.
Paddy and I will play a wide variety of music this Friday, everything from bad to questionable to pretty okay records will be presented in a continous manner.
This month’s projects - stupidly long delay, never ending plate reverb, and a Haible Frequency Shifter that’s taken 2 years to get to, finally done. If anyone needs panels made and can supply the material, happy to help!
