Kush began on the French drum & bass scene at the end of 1996, as one of its co-fonder and as a DJ of course. In 1998 he formed the collective "Dragon Krew" (with Brooxs, Le Lutin, Sti, Peyo & Youthman) and he took part in many drum & bass residencies and gigs in Toulouse.
As he was noticed by the quality of his mixes (eclectic selection, precise mixing and his ability to mash up the dancefloor) Kush got booked on the biggests electronic events and bombed more than 700 dancefloors across France and Spain since 1997 : Paris / Rennes / Bordeaux / Montpellier / Marseille / Lyon / Nantes / Toulouse / San Sebastian / Barcelona / Madrid / Valencia and many more...
Influenced by the Afro-American musics and also by Reggae, Punk, Rock and new electronic tendencies, he decided to start producing D&B around 2003 and he released his first vinyl "Frisco E.P."on his own label. Since that, Kush works on several collaborations with different artists (SKS, Peyo, Redeyes, Kafra, Brooxs, mc Youthman...) and many of his last tunes have been playlisted on BBC 1, 1XTRA, BASSDRIVE.COM and played by djs such as Syncopix, Crissy Cris, Redeyes, Stunna, dj Science... (for releases and forthcoming, see my blog)
Since 2000 dj Kush runs his own radio show, "Punk Phunk" alongside dj Dread-I-Licious on www.radiocampustoulouse.com from 8:00 to 10:00 pm GMT each saturdays (France : 21h/23h).
He has spinned records at the sides of Dillinja, Hype, Zinc, Shy FX,TC, Doc Scott, Marky, Wildchild, Dom & Roland, Marcus Intalex, Smokey Joe, Danny Wheeler, MC Wreck, Dee Nasty, Le Lutin, Brooxs, Flow, Miss Ficel, Science, Natty Bass, Kafra, MC Youthman, MC Jamalski, MC Kray z b, MC Fearless, Redeyes, Peyo, Flore, Star-Eyes...
He's truly one of the few french D'n'B artists that big D'n'B promoters trust in.
