| MH-295 Ennui - Telepathic Beat BBC |
| Today’s free download comes all the way from that there Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and this track is so lovely it really will just bring the good-time memories of the sun, sea and sand. |
| MH-295 Ennui - Telepathic Beat Noisey Vice |
| Time in late summer has a uniquely stretched-out quality, in which it seems to always be late afternoon. The light feels especially golden, and your default emotion becomes a sort of languid, dulled contentment. It's a great time to be in love, or simply to daydream about the feeling. Whichever of these you're feeling, "Summer of Love," the seven-minute synth epic from Pittsburgh's Ennui that Noisey is premiering below, should work as the perfect soundtrack. Light, airy, and a little bit surreal, it's like a synthpop radio single that's been put through a taffy pull. Its washes of synths simmer and slowly evolve over a persistent beat as Ennui's Jim Doutrich takes different stabs at the idea of love and his "dream girl." |
| MH-295 Ennui - Telepathic Beat Pittsburgh Music Magazine |
| Telepathic Beat is absolutely fantastic. With its sun-drenched feel, the album plays as the soundtrack to a summer spent balancing a narcotic life in clubs, with the possibilities that await when you skip work and head to the beach. It’s destined to be the album to reach for when you don’t want to admit that summer is over. - Pittsburgh Music Magazine |
| MH-295 Ennui - Telepathic Beat Pittsburgh In Tune |
| Pittsburgh-based Ennui score with ‘Telepathic Beat’ release. Ennui’s music is infectious and complex, with layer upon layer of melodies and vocals showcasing Doutrich variety of talents. The 10-track “Telepathic Bea” marks Ennui’s Mush Records debut and figures to get the kind of push that will help ensure people hear this rock-solid record. |
| MH-295 Ennui - Telepathic Beat The Line Of Best Fit |
| Introduced by trigger-happy beats, sun-drenched synths and Doutrich’s mellifluous vocals, “Summer Of Love” loops like the enduring peace of long summer days. Doutrich sings about his “dream girl” with a nostalgia for something that hasn’t even passed yet, much like the sentimental tone of M83’s synth-pop. |
| MH-295 Ennui - Telepathic Beat Mecca Lecca |
| An ocean of synthesizers flood your dreams with hypnotic pigments. For fans of Cut Copy, OMD, Neon Indian. Why you'll love it: You’re in the mood to drift away into a colorful kaleidoscope, while dancing into the wee hours. - Mecca Lecca |
| MH-295 Ennui - Telepathic Beat Impose |
| Get a listen to the synth-wind atmospheres on Ennui’s new sun-sizzling single, “Summer of Love”. Here the pop tones kick with drum machine brightness that excites all the synthesized particles to orbit around Ennui’s delivery that makes every day feel like a neon dipped holiday. - Impose |

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. |

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: |

Fader Steffaloo Music Steffaloo, the LA singer featured on woozy electronic productions by Sun Glitters and others, prefers simple folk instrumentation for her own music. But thanks to her calming voice, always sounding the way color-changing leaves look in the fall, Steffaloo’s gorgeous but modest new album is as soothing as the collaborations where she first made her name. |

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. |

Devendra Banhart
Devendra Banhart has been pushing boundaries in music and art for over a decade, requiring entirely new genre labels to be coined in an attempt to describe his otherwise impossible-to-categorize stylings. Be it under the umbrella of psych, avant or freak folk, New Weird America or just guitar-fueled lovliness, Devendra is adept at making beauty from mystery, a skill he lent to Nobody & Mystic Chords of Memory when he reinterpreted their song "The Seed" on the single Broaden a New Sound. |
 |
Super Furry Animals
Super Furry Animals are a critically acclaimed Welsh alternative rock band, with leanings towards psychedelic rock, punk, britpop and electronic experimentation. Their remix of "Sleepy California" is one of the highlights on Her Space Holiday's The Young Machines Remixed. |
 |
Cedric Bixler-Zavala

 |
Four Tet
At the vanguard of what became known as the folktronica movement, Kieran Hebden's production as Four Tet has grown and evolved, as he has proven to be one of electronic music's most engaging and enduring artists. Four Tet reworks Pedro's source material into a 20+ minute free-jazz epic on the Fear & Resilience EP. |
 |
Prefuse 73
Prefuse 73 is Scott Herren. Herren melds break beats, glitchy-IDM electronic, ambient jazz and creates a true hip hop style that is all his own. His work can be heard on 3 Mush releases. A remix of Avantcore from Busdriver, on the song Welcome Home from Daedelus on the Exquisite Corpse album and a Fear & Resilience remix for Pedro. |
 |
Chrome Sparks
With an aggressive touring schedule and praised collaborations with Steffaloo (including her single, "Eyes For You" from the album Heart Beats), Chrome Sparks is one of the most exciting new electronic producers. Pitchfork raves that he "eschews the cryptic muttering for huge, ascending synths, like a Midwestern phenotype of M83" while Fader notes that he "displays his sampling abilities by disintegrating screwed vocal samples into several second-long snippets that swerve above the synths and kicks." |
 |
Ann Yu
Ann Yu came to prominence as lead vocalist for the San Francisco based indie band, LoveLikeFire. Spin Magazine noted that her "tremulous, haunting vocal style combines elementsof CocoRosie, Karen O and Portishead's Beth Gibbons." She lends her vocals to multiple tracks on the City Light full-length, Memory Guide. |
 |
Teen Daze
Vancouver's electronic artist Teen Daze operates in that nebulous area between dream-pop, ambient, shoegaze and chillwave. He can be found on the singles "I've Been Waiting" by Brothertiger and "Hello" by Command V. |
 |
Javelin
Brooklyn-based electronic duo Javelin contribute a remix on Pregnant's single for "Letter To A Friend". On "Another Day" they maintain all of the subdued songwriting strength of the original without sacrificing the off-kilter kitchen-sink style for which the duo has become known. |
 |
Flying Lotus
Flying Lotus has his familial roots in jazz and his current, ever-expanding roots buried deep in the fertile soil that is Los Angeles beat making. 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. |
 |
Boards Of Canada
Boards of Canada's music is reminiscent of the warm, analogue sounds of 1970s media and contains themes of childhood, nostalgia and the natural world. The Boards of Canada remix for the cLOUDDEAD song Dead Dogs Two is surely not to be missed. |
 |
Saul Williams
After coming to fame as a poet and award-winning screenwriter/actor, Saul Williams has established himself as one of the world's most important lyricists. His guest appearance on Thavius Beck's 2008 album, Thru is a hip-hop tour-de-force. |

 | Lulu Mushi Blue Sonoko   from MH-002 Oval Compositions Lulu Mushi serves up the wickedest late-nite, red light, moody hip-hop instrumentals with wailing trumpets and somber piano loops while other tracks remind one of backroom speakeasies with the live stand up bassist relaxed and in a Latin groove, superb. - XLR8R / "Blue Sonoko" is groovy rewired samba that's cheeky as hell - Muzik |
