Jason Kushy isn’t messing around. With 1.5 million total Spotify streams and a Beatport Tech House Top 20 peak, he’s building buzz with his new EP, ‘Side Effects.’ It features two club-ready cuts, “No Distractions” and “Veneno,” which make it essential listening for DJs and dance floor regulars
Outside the studio, Jason is a Navy meteorologist and a former Division I gymnast at the U.S. Naval Academy, and he treats music like a second full-time job. Based in Monterey, California, he’s a DJ and producer whose sound experiments turn into bangers!
Hit play below and crank it up.
Where Jason Kushy’s DJ Journey Started
Jason’s story starts in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, where he grew up. He was around 11 when he started DJing, using a Numark Mixtrack Pro, a small MIDI keyboard, and his parents’ stereo.
By eighth grade, he had turned it into his own DJ business, and as a teenager he played weddings, proms, and other events. Fast forward to today, he’s an emerging talent whose hard work is paying off, with releases on top electronic music labels.
He’s also earned the stamp of approval from industry heavyweights like BIJOU, Wolfgang Gartner, and Bingo Players, among others.
Club-Ready Tracks With His Own Sound
The ‘Side Effects’ of this EP, out via OMNIX Records/Universal Music Brazil, are uncontrollable head nodding and foot tapping from the very first second, plus an irresistible urge to stay at the club all night. Blame the punchy bass and the kicks and hi-hats that loop hypnotically.
No doubt, the vocal hooks will get stuck in your head instantly, and they set the stage for the driving beats and FX to take the energy to another level. Hands down, this one isn’t for the boring crowd. It’s 100% fun!
In other words, you get two jams with a super infectious groove. Worth noting, “Veneno” (Spanish for “poison”) has a sexy rhythm that shows how versatile Jason is as a producer.
This means he also dips into the wide range of melodies out there to build his own Tech House sound, proving he doesn’t need to copy anyone’s formula. If that isn’t creativity and vision, then nothing is.
