Dirty Loop Music originally started out as a recording studio in Cincinnati, OH and is home to the independent record label MUSH Records. In 1997 we began to release on vinyl some of the music that was being made in the studio. Since then we have been located in Cincinnati, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and now we are in the Laurel Canyon area of Los Angeles.

Our release schedule has grown from being strictly vinyl to all formats. Mush puts out a wide range of music that might fall into the following categories: electronic, instrumental, underground hip-hop, downtempo, abstract hip-hop, experimental, indie-rock, electronica, pop, saturated folk, left-field, dreamy stuff, more versions of hip-hop, and on and on. We can’t really figure out what to call it all. Mush frequently licenses music to record labels outside of the US to help get the music out there. Some of the labels we have teamed up with are Rough Trade (UK), Ninja Tune (UK), Big Dada (UK), The Leaf Label (UK), Tri-Eight (Japan), & Records (Japan), Spunk (Australia) and others. Mush songs are also commonly featured on music compilations, skate videos, movie soundtracks and television shows.

We can’t give out our number because we don’t have a support staff. So if you wish to contact us, please do so via email: mail@mushrecords.com

Mush Records would like to thank all of the people that have helped along the way!
