Kush Kush, stylized as KUSH KUSH, is a DJ and producer duo, which has gained international recognition mainly through modern reinterpretations of well-known classics. Little is known about the members themselves. Neither their names nor their faces are publicly revealed,[1] as they only show themselves hidden behind rabbit masks.

Their most successful release yet is called "Fight Back with Love Tonight", which samples White Town's hit single "Your Woman" from 1997.[2] Kush Kush's electronic reinterpretation of the song was especially popular in Russia, where it stayed in the Airplay Charts for 10 weeks, peaking on #1[3] and also climbed the Shazam-Charts to #2.[4] The single was presented with a Platinum-Award in fall 2018. As a result of the success of "Fight Back with Love Tonight", Kush Kush played at international festivals such as Alfa Future People Festival[5] in Bolshoye Kozino and Europa Plus TV's Hit Non Stop Festival[6] in Sochi.

Shortly after, Kush Kush entered the Russian radio charts again, peaking at #59[7] with their 2019 released song "SloMo". Most recently the duo released its single "I'm Blue"[8] based on the 90's global Eurodance-hit Blue (Da Ba Dee) by Eiffel 65.
