Mashit is a Chicago record label producing body-moving genre-blends
“One of the most forward-looking labels.” - URB Magazine
Mashit began by producing vinyl records at the turn of the millennium, including the first releases from now-legendary artists like (Chrissy) Murderbot and Aaron Spectre (Drumcorps). As they flew off the shelves, the earliest Mashit 12-inches became underground classics.
Soon, BBC Radio 1 host John Peel chose Mashit as a “label of the month” and had founder DJ C record a session of Mashit tracks.
The label has gone on to produce 7 more 12-inches, & over 20 digital releases.
“At the crossroads of the genre-blending, digital-remix and bouncing-bass-obsessed international DJ scene, … Mashit has a rep for pushing underground dance culture forward, both online and off.” - Time Out Chicago
Releases
“Innovative … clever … futuristic. Stop overthinking shit and go jump up and down." - Chicago Reader
Upcoming Music from HopesAndDrums
Hailing from the end of hurricanes where the ocean pulls sand into the undertow, HopesAndDrums craft sounds of a time that land forgot.
As we await the arrival of their new tunes on Mashit, HopesAndDrums‘ artwork is being shown at the MassMOAA Museum, where their debut tune was recently unveiled.
DJ C “Do Radly”
“DJ C brings life-giving daring to his hybridized dance music on ‘Do Radly’” - Chicago Reader
“DJ C strips things to the root and brings his long standing genre-spanning into new focus.” - Wayne Marshall
“A genre-hopping club album.” - Utility Fog Radio, Sidney Australia
“A new, transformative level” - Nitestylez, Hamburg, Germany

DJ C's “Billy Jungle” (Mashit) is a“contemporaneous lovers rock version [of ‘Billie Jean’] over a heavy stepping intro (kicks holes through that light-up sidewalk) and a tear out that proves even at his slickest, [MJ] was rugged never smooth … Four Stars” - Pitchfork
