Chushi: Basf (2011)

"Gah! Thank you, Chushi whoever or whatever you are. You saved my sanity, at least for today. Now I don’t want to seem ungrateful or a snob, but lately my email submissions have been bringin’ me down. I’m not going to say that the music has been bad, but it really truly does not fit on this blog at all. I don’t dig on dubstep, singer/songwriters aren’t my thang, and all dark electronic music should kindly make its way to Unholy Rhythms. So I abandoned the inbox and stepped out on my own once again to do some digging. What I found was Chushi, the savior of my musical mind. All hail Chushi!
Now I don’t know if they are really from Russia as their sites say, but its irrelevant. What we have here is a release that lovingly reminds me of Run DMT’s Bong Voyage. And good Lord, if we all don’t know how much I love the Run DMT. The songs on Basf are sonic sample-based explorations of random thoughts and memories. Processed, chewed, and spit back out in short bursts of delicious sound. About 90% of the tracks here don’t even surpass the one-minute mark. Perfectly bite-sized if you’re feeling a bit ADHD inclined today. I’m thankful for Chushi because it has cleansed my mental palate. It’s wiped everything else away and left me feeling slightly foggy with a smile on my face" (Enjoy: cactusmouth.tumblr.com)
