Max HeyraudSJUSH is this week’s Mix Of The Week with his contribution to Berlin-based PULZAR’s podcast series. Spanning just over an hour, the mix combines high-octane techno with UK bass, electro, acid, and industrial-bathed crooked rhythms, delivering an intense yet intricate mix that pushes boundaries without any fluff.
Known for his industrial edge and bass-heavy productions, SJUSH delivers an intense hour that perfectly encapsulates his core sound while simultaneously breaking down preconceived notions of what he’s about. This ability to defy expectations is the essence of his ever-evolving musical approach—complex yet focused, driving bodies to move through unapologetic, hard-edged power.
SJUSH relishes the art of unpredictability in almost everything he does. His guest mix before his latest for Dutch label DONKER was a departure from his prior work, yet it has his distinctive undertone of intense experimentation. This thread of creative risk-taking runs through all of his tracks and mixes, giving them a unified character while always challenging listeners with new, boundary-pushing sounds.
SJUSH’s music is tough and driving, but with a distinctive haunting edge that sets it apart from other industrial-infused techno. His sound is abrasive without being aggressive for the sake of it, leaning into UK bass territory with subtle nods to dubstep and grime. In his latest mix, crackling percussive twists and jagged bass rhythms form the backbone, while sprawling and unpredictable synth lines keep listeners on the edge of their seats. It’s a relentless approach—unforgiving, rugged, and unapologetically in-your-face, leaving listeners floored by its raw intensity and relentless originality.
