Indie Electronic Artist Mishegas (former Shallou band member) Shares EP, ‘Temporary Love Remixes’ 

Today, Mexico-born and New York City-based artist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Emilio Quezada Ibañez, aka Mishegas, shares his follow-up EP Temporary Love Remixes via Nettwerk. The remix EP is a reimagining of Mishegas’ November 2021 debut EP Temporary Love which was written while Quezada was living in Chicago and finished in his former home base of NYC. Emilio adds on Temporary Love, “This project came to life while thinking back on past experiences and periods of time in which you remember being extraordinarily happy and how overwhelming it can feel to suddenly realize how far removed or disconnected you feel from those experiences. It is about nostalgia and dealing with the conflicting emotions that it can bring.”

Mishegas fills his songs with distinct noise, often piling effects on recorded instruments, field recordings, or samples, then tinkering with them—adding those textures and atmospheres—until they reach a point that he finds interesting. Many of his songs have come together by recording improvised guitar parts and then reversing those recordings, lending the song what he refers to as a “humanistic voice.” Quezada finds that this human quality can help the instrumental work tell an indirect story, wherein the songs reflect his own life.
