Listen to Side Effects on Spotify.
Built around club-ready energy and accessible melodic elements, Side Effects features the tracks “No Distractions” and “Veneno.” Together, the songs reflect Kushy’s focus on creating music designed for movement while maintaining the direct connection between DJ, dance floor and audience.
The release follows his Beatport-charting Keep It Moving EP on Direct Action Records, which reached No. 18 on Beatport’s Tech House Top 100 Releases chart. It also continues a rapidly developing original catalog that began in 2025 and has since surpassed one million Spotify streams, with more than 120,000 monthly listeners and over 450,000 unique listeners in the past year.
Based in Monterey, California, and originally from Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, Kushy began teaching himself to DJ at approximately 11 years old, using an $80 mixer in his parents’ basement. By eighth grade, he had launched his own DJ business. His early work playing weddings, proms and parties helped him develop the room-reading instincts that now inform his approach to production and performance.
Kushy’s music has earned support from artists including Louis The Child, SIDEPIECE, Jauz, Wolfgang Gartner, Bingo Players and San Holo, while his tracks have also received repost support from Dim Mak, Insomniac Records, Barong Family and Space Yacht.
His catalog includes original tracks such as “Gave It My All,” “I’m Okay” and “Close the Door,” as well as remixes of songs by Fleetwood Mac, Pet Shop Boys, Hall & Oates, Natasha Bedingfield and Sean Paul. Beyond his recorded output, Kushy continues to develop the broader Stay Kushy project, combining original music, minimalist visual design and live sets featuring exclusive edits and custom visuals influenced by games, animation and pop culture.
With Side Effects, Jason Kushy continues to build on a foundation shaped by more than a decade behind the decks—delivering a concise tech house release aimed squarely at the club and festival circuit.
