“Select a record at random from Chicago label Hausu Mountain’s catalogue,” writes Maya Kalev in The Wire 437's Unlimited Editions column, “and you might land on free jazz, noise, skronky breakcore, or find yourself transported by ambient or the lusher end of the vaporwave spectrum.”

In the column, label founders Doug Kaplan and Maxwell Allison go on to explain that this abundance of eccentric experimental releases is the product of a community of artists who “make music in tune with their personality”.

Kaplan and Allison recently recorded this mix for The Wire which includes tracks from several of the label's 2020 releases and more.
