SHUSH fam! Just two weeks left till we welcome DJ Spinna to our home in Berlin. Tickets are still up for grabs. Saying that we are excited is an understatement. We can’t wait to see you and get together for this one 🪩 Here’s a little video thing we put together to spread the word – feel free to share.

For reasons beyond our control, we unfortunately have to cancel our SHUSH x TRC showcase at Total Refreshment Centre (London) this Friday. If you’ve made plans to come or already bought tickets, we’re really sorry about this. It’s been in the works for a while and we’ve been excited about making it happen.  We’re looking at options and hope we can make something else work really soon. Of course, all tickets will be refunded. Let us know if you’ve got any questions – our line is open. Thank you

We’re going to London! Our first night outside of Berlin is taking place on Jan 19th, and we can’t be happier to be doing it at Total Refreshment Centre. This place has done so much for underground music in the UK – being an iconic venue, hang-out joint, studio complex, and much much more. Weaving creative minds together in a magical way since its opening, and creating the synergies that the London scene has been thriving off of for the last ten years, it’s an honour to be hosting our night there for real. We’re curating an intimate showcase, hosting one of our favourite up and coming selectors from London – Saige Sounds – as well as TRC mastermind Lex Blondin to grace the decks. Other than that, our own D’Monk will be showcasing one of his trademark live sets, alongside our friend Dweller. Expect a whole bunch of unreleased madness from these two . Closing up the night is Ken Okuda in true SHUSH fashion. No door tickets for this one. Limited pre-sale spots are up (10£ – priced to sell) – so don’t sleep 🤫 Also, this event is BYOB so feel free to bring your own goods. Berlin fam, we’d love it if you spread the word to your people in London, as we believe this is a truly meaningful connection. As you know, we’re back in town on February 10th to host the legendary DJ Spinna. Tickets: https://shush.dance 19 January 2024 Total Refreshment Centre (2 Foulden Rd, N16 7UR) 8pm – 2am Much love x 🎨 by Jay Curry P.S. For any of you wanting to read more about TRC, London’s musical universe and the importance of spaces for the creation and nurturing of culture, we cannot recommend Emma Warren‘s book / research ‘Make Some Space’ highly enough.

Hope everyone is well 🪩 Just a quick heads up – we’re down to the last early bird tix for DJ Spinna and will have to bump up the prices slightly in a bit… Of course we’ll have a few door tickets as well but best grab you spot soon, since we don’t know how many there will be. available here: https://shush.dance

SHUSH is thrilled to welcome one of our favourite selectors and producers, as well as a true master on the decks – DJ Spinna – to our next function in Berlin 🪩 As a producer, DJ Spinna has shaped the musical world that we inhabit in a multitude of ways since the 90s. Carving out his initial path in hip hop – as founding member of The Jigmastas, as well as working with De La Soul, Yasiin Bey, Phonte of Little Brother and many more – he soon ventured into the dance music scene, where he’s been equally as proficient. Crafting worldwide dancefloor anthems such as his remix of Shaun Escoffery’s 'Days Like This' he’s also released the now-classic album Here To There for the BBE label in 2002, showcasing his trademark fusion of soulful, contemporary and beat-driven music in all shapes, forms and tempos. As a DJ, we know few who can simultaneously rock a crowd as well as create deep moments of spiritual unity on the dancefloor. His sets are an embodiment of the musical eclecticism of his Brooklyn, NYC upbringing, and we’ve witnessed him go between the most different styles with breathtaking ease. He hasn’t played in Berlin for a number of years and we can’t wait to have him join us for our gathering in February. Musically, the SHUSH selectors will warm up the room before DJ Spinna takes over. Our trusted sound system will be there on the night, and regulars already know the wooden dancefloor and beautiful surroundings of our beloved home in Pankow. More details shared soon. Limited tickets are now available: https://shush.dance RA link: https://ra.co/events/1835877 10th February 2024 9pm till late 20 / 25€ We can’t wait – see you soon 🤫
