Savage Curios

We're very proud to finally welcome the Scottish downtempo mastermind to our catalog. KUSHT brings us his latest EP "Island Country", with remixes from our long time friends Ibu Selva and Pigmalião.

Island Country started its journey back in lockdown when Kusht found himself stuck inside and dreaming of his once freedom to roam. He would see the high rises from his studio but could imagine a tropical land in the distance, he could hear the melodies calling and he wanted to be there…

O’Ralila - captures the playful and mischievousness of the youth with its lead melody and plucky synths. All floating on the back of a lazy beat building to the breakdown where a choir of kids come to steal your heart. Singing an old Madagascan folk song “O Ralila” which was sang by parents to let the kids know it’s time to come home for supper. The tune goes out heavy with some big notes and sing-a-long.

Falk Kut - Grooves on the back of some rather smooth delayed guitars, bouncing along the song is weirdly chaotic yet chill at the same time. With a bass line provided by the amazing player “Lander" it drives a bounce just right. The song then drifts away to some subtle chords and wanders into an obtuse outro which slowly falls away and degrades. The song's only constant are recurring vocals chops, provided by some lost Madagascan tapes; 1930’s recordings published by Revivethis.

Buzzy Lee - Circles (Kusht Remix) [Unreleased]

I found this song a long a time ago and was knocked back by the inspiring story of a little girl who stands up to segregation and inspires others to follow. I immediately connected with it's sound and message and felt compelled to make an edit and donate 100% of its earnings to a charity of the correct fit. 
After some digging around i found a great charity here in Scotland which helps minority groups develop their creative talents, education, employability, advocacy and mental health. 

This edit wont be free but it's still only a quid and if you can give a little more I would really appreciate it :)

Kusht is a word Scots use to describe anything and anyone that's nice and cozy. And that's what this is. Nice and cozy. Made with love and craftsmanship for the sole purpose of transporting you through sonar spheres of beauty and wonder.

I recorded this set back in the summer for the Bambuddha Radio Show and i feel it's even more relevant now with these dark winter nights.

@kusht-music ~ Scotland.

Brace yourself for a pleasure of a quite different kind. Kusht -a producer with releases on Drosssel, Frente Bolivarista, Akumandra and more- is crossing borders, oscillating between moods and delivering a first class creative realization.

The result is a swing set of a special kind filled with 50’s and 60’s rarities and gems, and of course a few delightful Kusht tracks. It’s all recorded Live and the tracks are built with on the fly sampling.

Relish moments of glory through slow experimental narratives. 

Let your mind be open and enthralled.

Caban

This ancient Mayan symbol is representative of the Earth keeper who sanctifies the Earth and venerates all life that exists on it. Reminding everyone of the larger forces that are behind all creation, this Earth symbol represents movement, transition and synchronization. It motivates people to be patient, observant and flexible. It also symbolizes the synergistic working of destiny that brings everyone together for shared spiritual intents. Focusing on the Caban symbol helps one become centered and experience spiritual unfolding.

My Oh My! Its been a rollercoaster of a summer! In fact its been a crazy year for Kusht, from releasing my first EP on Drosssel to playing my favourite stage at Fusion in little over a year i can only extend my fullest thank you to everyone who has shown so much trust in my music. 
Opening the empty stage you can only imagine i had my worries about playing to a playa with the odd tumble weed rolling through but that was not the case. Thank you to those who sat and waited for me to bring the beat and the crazy amount of masses who came running and cartwheeling towards the stage. 

This is a gig i truly cherish and wont forget so it brings me great delight to present this to you all :)

Peggy O'keefe is a Scottish Jazz artist who some time ago asked my father to convert her album "Mood Chevalier" from Vinyl to Digital as it was a limited press and she fearer it would be lost over time. Not being a task for commercial purpose but personal, only my father and her have the digital master and this is how i came across this piece of music.

Original recording taken from the Akademia LP by the Laboratorium Pieśni Choir Gdansk, Poland.

I found this incredible album about two years ago by the Gdansk University Choir and it really blew me away, so much that this is the second instalment of three in which i have and will be sampling the album. One of which is from my Vardo Album's opening track Ketri Ketri. I dug this edit up in December and decided to be a bit more experimental with the beat and tronic's of the track.

It was a sparkling Saturday night at Fusion Festival, all dancers were out of their shelters after the burning sun had set, the energy was raising high when Buddy aka Kusht (https://soundcloud.com/kusht-music) stepped on stage and began his show. Kusht is a Norway-based Scottishman born under the sign of Aquarius, who has been playing in bands for about sixteen years and started his electronic productions seven years ago. His first steps into this new dimension were not really firm, he says. His loud, rock background was clear, but he couldn’t really identify his electronic sound until he visited Fusion Festival for the first time, four years ago. In that very inspiring chaos he found his path, he finally knew how his productions were about to sound, and here we have a great taste of that. The set that we are about to bring to your
ears was recorded live at the Dub Station. It comprises exclusively his original material, some of it was released on his latest vinyl ‘Together’(@ynfnd), and some is still unreleased. For this live set Kusht unleashed his guitar and selected the tracks he plays it the most on, so the set sounds more like a rock performance with world-music influences, rather than the typical electronic set. The artist confessed to us that sometimes he wishes he had an extra arm playing live guitar throughout his performances. 
Enough words spent, it’s time to listen to this amazing set...and to listen to it LOUD!

Things We Need & Love Mixtape

Once again we invited the Scottish Folk, Blues, Electronica mastermind KUSHT to craft a new release with us and voila!

We are proud to present the album "KUSHT - Master".

The "Master" album tells the strange stories of our unlikely practices and beliefs. It touches with a playful tongue & cheek manner on our history with fraudsters, believers and those whom pioneer the strange arts.

Powering beats and catching melodies, soaring guitars and heavily distorted synths with weird hooks to catch in your mouth will pull you to explore the many layers and meanings of this album. With tales of fraudsters, fortune tellers, hypnosis and deceit. Sit back and enjoy this magic carpet ride.

Meditative Shredding Mixtape

In 2019 I was given the chance to play a full 360 degree sound system in Thailand, the stage was built by the Polygon team and they are most certainly at the fore front of immersive sound. Given this opportunity I decided to create an ambient stereo track to which i would mix to the back left and right of the stage, my goal was to fool listeners into potentially thinking a boat drove by or someone was riding a horse at the festival. (lol). I don't think anyone heard a peep with all the other sounds and distractions going on but I got to create something which has always fascinated me.

With that being said I opened the project and polished it off to create this first instalment, I tried to create as many environments as i could within the space of about 30 minutes so it really takes you on a journey from the ocean spray to the busy streets of New York. I guess this could be used in tv, film, musical sampling or even meditation perhaps? I don't know, but i hope you can find a creative use for it and if you do please share it with me :) Hummmmmmmmmm.....

Love & Hugs

Ambient Journey Vol.1

***Release Date 23/02/21***

With an ever growing curiosity for the genre "Exotica", I took inspiration and created this little musical selection for you. Stealing small elements from the past and adding my clunky riffs to create a sort of love letter of sonic wisps, I weaved a tale of one soul's journey to escape the pressures of today's life but to only be pulled back in by the crushing ease. Why is it so hard to disconnect? I'm suffering from Nostalgia syndrome...
