Mush Records is a Cincinnati, OH-based independent record label started in 1997 by Robert Curcio and Cindy Roché.[1] Originally known as Dirty Loop Music, Mush Records started out as a recording studio in Cincinnati, OH, with the actual label formed as an outlet to release music that was being made in the studio. Since then, Mush has been located in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and has now settled in Los Angeles.[2] Primarily an electronic label, Mush puts out a wide range of music within the genre, including "electronic instrumental, underground hip-hop, downtempo, abstract hip-hop, experimental, indie-rock, jazz-based grooves, turntablist compositions, electronic pop, and saturated folk".[3] Mush operates a store online to facilitate direct sales of Mush Records releases and merchandise.[3]
The label's first release was Boom Bip & DJ Oris's Low End Sequence EP in 1998, with the first album release Dose One & Boom Bip's Circle in 2000.[4] This was followed the same year by the Ropeladder 12 collection, featuring contributions from many artists from the anticon. roster.[4]
In 2003, the label sponsored a tour which included its roster artists Busdriver, Awol One, Radioinactive, Aceyalone, and others.[5]
Mush Records has its own customized content channel on Audiotube.
