SHUSH Family, after an exhilarating end to last year – including the release of our very first sonic artifact, the compilation 'SHUSH Vol. 1‘ – we’re back to keep it moving with our first dance of 2025. Gathering at the beloved stomping grounds of Studio dB again, we’re dusting off our sound system to welcome you to another day-into-night affair. Our guests this time are not so much guests as they’ve been part of our fam for a long time – and we’re thrilled to be welcoming them in the booth on February 1st. Originally from Los Angeles and arriving in Berlin via Brussels, Paulita has been showcasing her soulful style at various spots in the city, and through her sets on Kiosk Radio. Two years ago we had her join us for our stage at Gaswerk Art Days festival, where she spun us out when she dropped the freaky underground club anthem „Micro Wave Boogie“ early on, setting the tone for the night. Playing alongside her is Viktor Roshu, who served up a very personal & uplifting selection at our Refuge Worldwide radio takeover last year, which was one of our highlights. We’re looking forward to seeing these two selectors share their musical bond and joy through the records that will be played. Our own Ken Okuda will take care of the rest of the musical agenda – stretching out in the usual fashion while keeping the groove rolling. Doors open at 4pm, alongside musical nourishment we’ll have food to serve, plus there’ll be a limited supply of records and merch to grab (come early!). As we’re trying to keep the dance as accessible as possible, we’re offering two pre-sale tickets this time: A discounted one, as well as a 'supporter‘ ticket at a slight extra cost to help us throw these functions sustainably. Extra income will go to the artists directly – we appreciate your support if you can afford it. Come dance 🤫 Artwork by Inés Chacon Zylstra –––––––––––– Sat 1 February 4pm till 1am Presale €10 / €15 + Door tickets: https://shush.dance https://ra.co/events/2085068 Studio dB Uferstraße 8-11 13357 Berlin

happy holidays fam! it’s been a busy year for us – we had some incredible guests at our gatherings (who is down for a DJ Spinna reunion??), conceptualised and brought together our first release and more than ever felt the support and love from our extended family. we couldn't have it without you and we keep on doing it because it resonates with you. a big thank you from the bottom of our hearts. we’re taking this time to reflect and think about our role in this ever-changing musical & cultural landscape. throwing on events and putting out music isn’t by any means an easy thing to do – the sweat (& sometimes tears) involved is real. but we count ourselves among the fortunate ones that are able to do so, and believe there’s a responsibility to what we do. we hope the effects of our efforts to elevate spirits & minds, shine a light on artists and their work, and carry togetherness out into the world are felt. wishing you all some days of rest, reflection, inspiration and love. if you need musical companionship, we’ve given our 'On Rotation‘ playlist one last update of 2024: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4aEoiene9zBOCARWrp5gSh?si=cd42fbaa4a724aa5 plus, here’s a visualizer by our friend & videographer Jessica Garfield for D’Monk’s 'Love Or Lust‘, which has been on play quite heavily on radio shows and dancefloors (thank you!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLiBiUsM6PA see you in the near year 🎄 much love from the SHUSH crew x

what’s up y‘all. pointing you here to a sweet event hosted by our friends of Smoothin Groovin tomorrow night at Grüner Salon / Volksbühne in berlin. as some of you might remember, we did a beautiful winter gathering with them at the same spot last year in december. now they’re back, featuring – amongst others – MC Mad-X from London on the mic, and Ronja + the Smoothin Groovin family providing lush sounds. expect many familiar faces and good energy on the (wooden!) dancefloor. https://ra.co/events/2047089 see y‘all there x

SHUSH Vol. 1 – SHIRTS They’re back 🤫 After selling out our initial run on the night of our Record Release Celebration two weeks ago, we decided to do another batch for everyone looking to get their hands on a shirt to commemorate our inaugural release. Screen printed in Berlin, they’re made out of heavyweight (240g/m2) fabric with an incredibly soft touch, featuring a slightly oversized / loose cut (for a fit that is more true so size, choose one smaller). We’ll have this batch made to order – if you would like one, e-mail us with your preferred size (S – 2XL) and your location till Dec 10th and we’ll be back in touch with payment details. Price is 30€ plus shipping (roughly 5 – 10€ depending on your location), pick-up in Berlin is possible as well. Mail us at merch@shush.dance to get yours. Much love x

big love to everyone showing up to our record release celebration 💗 it couldn’t have been more beautiful and we’re so glad y’all joined us for the whole journey. a full circle moment for real. thank you to Shy One who summoned magic yesterday – she went deep and kept the floor grooving, and blessed us with an encore that’s one for the books… so grateful for all the support. we truly appreciate it. for anyone who’s written us: records are still available on our bandcamp, and also we’ve got some t-shirts left. back with more updates soon 🤫 x SHUSH crew
