How to Love Daedelus →
The first time MeanRed brought Daedelus out to NYC some years back, he played a set that was dance-floor ready, referential for geeks in the back, and infectious.
Last year he released his album “Bespoke” on one of our fav labels, Ninja Tune which gave fans finally larger dose of his sound. Don’t let his preference for melodic tracks and remixes fool you, his set will surprise you Sunday if this...

MNDR in PAPER
At Crush, our main goal is to find breaking artists that we love and share them with the world, one show, one blog post, and one twitter feed at a time. A couple months back, we brought you “electro-pop purveyor” MNDR who blew our minds on stage at Glasslands. This week we picked up the latest issue of PAPER Mag to find a full page article on the dear MNDR! We are so stoked that people...
Awesome Pop
Who’s crushin’? We are..for the three bands that hit the stage tonight. Here’s the skinny:
1. Sepalcure started the night:
This duo is Back-to-the-Future. They go “back in the day” with serious vocal-soul-house sounds, merged with tech-dance and then take you all the way forward with their “I’m-dancing-by-myself-and-my-computer” routine that is the...
Streetlab this Thursday @ Crush
So this is the best Thursday/Friday combo NYC has seen in ages. There’s so much good music coming to NYC right now that we can hardly contain ourselves!! Kick off your weekend early by coming down to Cameo Gallery (behind Lovin’ Cup!) on Thursday for our Crush series! This month features NY’s gods of classic rock remixes, STREETLAB, performing live tracks off their latest full...
SXSW Recap of Crushes!

1. Small Black @ Lovejoys
2. French Horn Rebellion @...

Streetlab - Lamorg and Leary started out mixing classic rock songs with jagged electro-house breaks, like taking famous songs from The Doors and adding a healthy dose of fistpump, or blasting Credance Clearwater rock ballads with a supersonic laser gun. Pretty soon, labels...
