Over two albums of unbridled rhythmic genius, Chicago's Mahjongg have become the percussive weirdos of their city's post-rock lineage, masters of Afro-beat poly-rhythms and Latin hand drum fills that sound like mating insects on No-Doze. Earlier this year the band put out their first album for K Records called Kontpab and just got back from a pretty extensive tour of Europe, but somewhere amidst all that shred found some time to put out a seven-inch through K called "Free Grooverider," one of their more artificial sounding tunes with thin electronic beat blasts under some thin vocoder. On the flip is a remix of the tune from Selector Dub Narcotic aka K label boss Calvin Johnson aka Beat Happening guy aka Olympia's indie rock Jesus, who does a good dub job by removing some things, adding a lot of echo, and just generally making the track sound weirder. Both sides are below.

Sounds like: TussleProfessor Murder, Black Dice
