During these unsettling times, it has become clearer than ever the critical role music plays in lifting our spirits. With stress becoming a ubiquitous factor in our everyday lives, the need to tune into something more serene grows. This is something Unrush founder Mareena is aware of, which is why she has personally prepared an hour of lush, tender atmospherics to ease us out of this worried world and into the present moment of endless tranquillity. Mareena's passion for music is contagious, and her mixes exemplify this as much as her curatorial prowess. She blends elements almost as if she was the forest floor, supporting the sprouting buds with essential nutrients while letting the old-growth be seen in all its glory. So turn off the news, put your phone on silent, and take solace in this very special and personal edition of Unrush.

046 - Unrushed by Mareena

As we collectively take a moment to ruminate and ponder an uncertain future, the music stays with us, guiding us through the sullen seclusion of the moment. Our next guest Andrey PUSHKAREV has a particular way of wrapping the listener in an endless blanket of warm resonant chords, slowly subduing them into a contemplative trance. Hailing from the hardened landscapes of Russia, he has made a name for himself as a top purveyor of deep, dubby grooves that uplift into insight. Using music as a medium, he externalizes the infinite complexities of his reality into a simple yet all-encompassing passage of sound. The result is as captivating as it is comforting, and we are very pleased to present this spring edition of UNRUSH from the maestro himself.

While some artists work towards advancing their egos, others function more as a backbone, supporting music culture and giving it a foundation to grow. Our next guest, Sabine Hoffman, is most certainly the latter mentioned. With an infectious passion for vinyl and an immense musical knowledge that encompasses all subsections, she has been enchanting listeners and building support systems in her hometown of Berlin for years. Her event series "Frauengedeck" spotlights the female and non-cis talent around her and provides a platform to lesser-known artists. Whether you see her in her element in many of the renowned clubs in Berlin or working behind the counter of OYE record store in Neukölln, Sabine is sure to greet you with a smile and some seriously good records. It's this spirit and attitude that makes Sabine a perfect fit for UNRUSH in these troubling times. So take a deep breath and listen to the vinyl hum...

Unrush 048

048 - Unrushed by Sabine Hoffmann

In times such as these, it is imperative that we swiftly come together as a community to stand in solidarity with the oppressed and amplify the voices of the unheard. The time for action is now, and musicians have a responsibility to acknowledge and pay tribute to the rich heritage of the music we hold so dear. Therefore the Unrush team has asked friends and collaborators to contribute some stunning musical works to the first edition of The Unrush Files. Entitled "Rush of Communion", this various artists compilation embodies a collective effort to support those who are fighting at the front lines, risking everything to facilitate lasting and meaningful change in a fundamentally unjust society. 

All proceeds from this compilation will be donated to the Detroit Justice Center, which is a national nonprofit organization that pays bail for people in need, reuniting families and restoring the presumption of innocence. This essential work can not be understated, as police have arrested more than 10,000 peaceful protesters who were speaking out against systemic racism in response to the killing of George Floyd. It is only when we work together, by both looking inwards and lending our efforts outwards, that we can begin to manifest a new world built on the principles of equality and justice.

Release date: Monday, 29 June 2020 (via Bandcamp)

Leaves lose their effervescence, stroking the strings of the ground as they bring us into the colder months. Such is the sound that resonates out of Chris SSG, our next guest from Japan. A master of mesmerizing, emotive passages, he is known for his careful consideration, patient execution, and sublime selections. As co-founder of the now-defunct MNML SSGS blog and event series and a resident at the semi-regular Sound Garden chill out parties, he has spread his infectious love for boundless forms of music far and wide, reaching audiences across the globe. After hearing his acclaimed mixes for podcasts such as Electronic Exploration and Mysteries of the Deep, we are ecstatic to have him contribute to UNRUSH. So grab a blanket, some tea, and watch the eternal processes of decay and rebirth unfold before you with this very special session from Chris SSG.

A myriad of tones, colors, and figures descend around a central point, encircling themselves into a focused dance of abstracted precipitation. Such is the kind of stimulating, autumn-mirrored imagery offered up by our next renowned guest, Zadig. While known primarily for his distinguished brand of dubby, Detroit-tinged techno on his label Construct Re-Form, anyone who reduces him to this simply has not been listening. His recent record for the Ukrainian imprint Rhythm Büro exemplifies his many facets, with refined ambient, synth, and downtempo passages lulling one into ecstatic states. It's this kind of diversity we seek, and it's an honor to have him contribute to UNRUSH. So put on some headphones, kick around some leaves, and enjoy the last golden rays of semi-warm days before the darkness subsumes us.

One of the great powers music has is to synchronize our senses with a specific place, time, and feeling. Anja Zaube utilizes this aspect well, whether it be through her blissfully cathartic DJ sets or her intentional and well-executed live sets. Here we are presented with the latter,  an excursion into the depths of Anja's personal sonic universe that brings us into the elements and out of the body. Layered with thickets of field recordings, live synth work, and delicately pulsating percussion, it plays as one long-form piece that gradually shifts and seduces the mind. With close ties to ://about blank and the Berlin underground, Anja channels a certain mystique and sound that is characteristic of all that goes on here. So lose yourself in this special live edition of UNRUSH and feel time start to slip away...

If you look hard enough, you can find infinite detail in any minuscule sound. Our next guest, Roma Zuckerman, is an expert at extracting these details and pulling them apart to reveal their true complexity. Originally hailing from the subzero climate of Siberia, he is no stranger to the frozen ethos of Russian electronic music. With releases on renowned labels such as Nina Kraviz's трип, he has gained a following for his refreshingly off-kilter productions and mixes. As this particularly difficult year comes to a close and we take a moment to pause and reflect, he guides us through our inner conflicts to bring a sense of peace and gratefulness. From all of us at UNRUSH, we'd like to thank you for the continued support and wish you a good start in the New Year.
