| MH-267 Lymbyc Systym - Shutter Release Rave Magazine |
| The Bell brothers’ sophomore LP amply delivers. |
| MH-071 Corduroi - Future Adventures Smoke Don't Smoke |
| Corduroi has done what you hope all musicians and artists do with time; evolve. Emerald Rain is the first listen at his upcoming EP Future Adventures, out Valentine’s Day on Mush Records. These sounds are new and unique, like nothing we’ve heard from Corduroi before. Partly because this track, along with at least one other on the upcoming EP, was co-produced by recently transplanted Austin producer Galapagos. - Smoke Don't Smoke |
| MH-280 Brothertiger - Golden Years In Your Speakers |
| This Todd Rundgren revival has been proving to be quite popular. Beginning with Neon Indian's ”Deadbeat Summer”, which famously sampled Rundgren's classic “Izzat Love” and now continuing with Brothertiger's Golden Years, the nostalgic pop movement is bringing only joy to these ears. Even the title calls back to a bygone age, of sublime 1980s afternoons and birthday parties at arcades. It will be released on Mush Records on March 27, placing it at the perfect time for Golden Years to receive heavy rotation in the spring and summer months. |
| MH-067 Brothertiger - Lovers Bitzl R |
| Still riding high on 2010’s chillwave, Ohio-bred / Brooklyn-based producer John Jagos (aka Brothertiger) has recently released this model sparring video for ‘Lovers’, a track that insistingly shimmers in synthy grandeur. - Bitzl R |

Nylon A Lull Free Music We can't put our finger on it, but there's just something about Chicago's A Lull that grabs your attention. Maybe it's the number of members- the band has had between 5 and 8 people at a time. Or maybe it's the thumping drum beats and booming choruses that explode from your headphones. Whatever the reason, these guys have become our new go-to for hypnotically emphatic tunes. |

Electronic Musician Lymbyc Systym Brothers In Audio If you saw Mike and Jared Bell at a party, you could easily tell them apart. Mike has shaggy hair and is the techno whiz. He's an "Ableton master," raised on Radiohead and Boards of Canada, who records spoons clanking on metal bowl just for fun. Jared is the "creative master" and songwriter with close cropped hair who devises the song structures. |

Urb Antimc A Love Letter To LA It’s rare to find an LA-based artist who wouldn’t try flaunting the fact that his father managed cultural icons like David Cassidy and Frank Zappa, or that his grandfather wrote screenplays for Jack Benny and Milton Berle. And it may never be noted in a promotional email blast or plastered on a web site that Mush Records signee Matt Alsberg, publicly known as Antimc, probably just finished having Sunday dinner with long time family friend Les McCann, again. But that’s just how he wants it. |

Ghetto Blaster Bigg Jus Profile Bigg Jus describes Poor People's Day as '"economic terrorism." Musically, it is an album that not only pushes the envelope, but breaks entirely through for performance by an emcee. From the opening verse, Jus just keeps coming and coming, packing a punch that does not allow him or the listener an opportunity to catch their breath. It is tough to think of another emcee that could pull off this style; filling every line of every song until it is saturated, but without any wasted words. |

CMJ Her Space Holiday Tough Love Marc Bianchi knows a thing or two about heartbreak - he once released a record called Home Is Where You Hang Yourself, for chrissakes. His new The Young Machines turns down the symphonic leanings of last year's Manic Expressive and turns up the signature clicky-beat weirdness of his new label Mush, but retains all that endearingly sappy miserablism. It's for your own good: |

MH-044 Thavius Beck - Go!/Away
The City Of Angels is a relentless musical force, and today’s track of the day unites two of Los Angele’s finest purveyors of skewed electronica, as Thavius Beck’s ‘Away’ gets a once-over from Flying Lotus. - Clash / Seriously, this Offshore remix is something special. - Fact / Distinctive remixes by UK producer Offshore and one of the Los Angeles beat scene’s brightest, Flying Lotus. - UGS Mag |

MH-061 Pressed And - Imbue Up
It’s as if early Chemical Brothers had gone chill-wave. - CMJ / Here's one for the fans of all that's chilled in the electro freezer after its been chopped and screwed good and hard. - Impose / You know how James Blake would have sounded if you'd combined the electronic dance of his CMYK EP with all of the feeling he had on his debut album? Well, think of that, and then chop and screw it. - Prefix |

MH-063 Vuurwerk - Plus EP
This new EP ‘plus’ is a real beauty. - Get Hyped On This / Super fresh six-tracker by London-based Bass Music outfit Vuurwerk. Dubstep with some nervous IDM and references to Ghettotech, Ambient, and a healthy dose of leftfield Pop. - Sven Swift |
 |
MH-268 Deru - Say Goodbye To Useless
This is definitely for fans of older Lusine but with a bit more noise, damage and darkness. - ISO50 / Say Goodbye To Useless is a pretty smart record all round. - The Milk Factory / Benjamin Winn’s third album, his debut for San Fran’s weird hoppers Mush, makes for spooky listen.- Clash / A fabulous effort and the first great album of 2010. - The Intricate Mess |

 |
Diplo
One thing of which Diplo cannot be accused is being afraid to experiment with new music. He's created a sound where '80s pop, electronica, favella, Dirty South hip-hop, and his major influence, Miami bass intersect. This is perfectly clear on his remix for "Sundown" the single from Daedelus’ Denies The Day’s Demise. |

Flying Lotus

Breaking onto the scene in the subtlest of ways by hypnotizing the insomniacs among us via cartoon network Adult Swim's late night bump music, he has since released three critically acclaimed albums that draw comparisons to J Dilla and Madlib while simultaneously presenting an obviously new spin on the idea of composition itself. Get a peek into the robotic orchestra through the remix he did for Thavius Beck on Go! Away. |
