Kush Jones is a multi talented producer, DJ, and music visionary who has redefined the landscape of bass-driven music. Hailing from the Bronx, New York, Kush seamlessly merges the raw energy of footwork, techno, and club music with influences drawn from hip-hop, dancehall, and experimental soundscapes. His innovative approach has positioned him as a leading force in the global underground electronic music scene. Renowned for his ability to transcend genres, Kush Jones crafts electrifying, bass-heavy productions that fuse traditional rhythms with futuristic sound design. His signature style—a blend of intricate beat patterns, gritty textures, and infectious grooves—resonates deeply with both club crowds and experimental music enthusiasts. Always pushing boundaries, Kush has earned a devoted fanbase while solidifying his reputation as a true pioneer in modern electronic music.Footwork on 49, Techno on 45, House on 42 and Jungle on 23. styles on their catalogued releasesTheir RA profile lists Future Times, Moveltraxx, HAUS of ALTR, JUKE BOUNCE WERK and 1 more.Recently at Bossa Nova Civic Club, Market Hotel, Good Room · often with MoMA Ready, DJ SWISHA, STEEN, none of them here that night

the whole biography
Significant Other, a UK-born DJ, producer, and curator now based in Berlin, has carved out a distinctive space in the electronic music landscape with his emotionally resonant productions and genre-resistant style of DJing. Consistently operating at the fringes, his creative output is an at times chaotic fusion of the tough and more tender corners of modern dance music. Initially emerging from the Brooklyn underground scene, Significant Other co-founded the prolific NYC event series and record label Club Night Club, cutting his teeth as a covert curatorial presence behind-the-scenes of a new wave of late 2010s Brooklyn dance music. With sporadic releases appearing across a range of acclaimed UK labels, little artist information provided, he emerged from the shadows as an enigmatic figure within the ecosystem of off-kilter dance production. His debut album Residuum arrived via Manchester cult favorite YOUTH in 2021, representing a veiled departure from the club origins of the project. A ghostly, atmospheric full-length grounded in texture and stygian catharsis which revealed a different side to his sound, transposing the tension and release balancing act of dance music onto a listening geared LP format. In the interim years his sound and DJ sets alike have become even harder to define. His work seamlessly blends elements of ambient, dub, and rougher club sonics, creating immersive fugue-state listening experiences that are at once both introspective and dancefloor-ready. The consistently elusive nature of the project has imbued his long discography with a liminal quality, his production and live output alike forever skirting the margins of genre and utility. Over the years he has garnered a cult reputation for his slant on the skudgier, atmospheric ends of contemporary mood-driven electronic music. In 2024 he launched the record label and Berlin event series Pain Management, an anti-dancefloor outlet for outsider sounds spanning spoken word, hellish dub experimentation and avant-garde electronica; ‘body music for restless minds’.Their RA profile lists SPE:C, Youth, Well Street Records, Oscilla Sound and 1 more.Recently at Camp Kennybrook, Mansions, Sugar Hill Disco · often with Eleftheria, Buttechno, Matana Roberts, none of them here that night
“His two first Eps on Dnuos Yvitil and Fragil Musique illustrate clearly an affiliation to the Bristol scene but put on the table other inputs acquired after several years playing and travelling worldwide.”

As a DJ, he officiates on very original and adaptative repertoire. Listening to a Simo Cell's set is always unpredictable and full of discovery.Their RA profile lists Fragil Musique, Livity Sound, VOITAX, Timedance and 4 more.Last at Camp Kennybrook in Sep · often with cheng nwsh, Pariah, Hyperverbena, none of them here that night
