About

DJ Krush is a revered Japanese producer and DJ, known for his brilliantly unique hip-hop, use of lush field recordings, and tempestuous breakbeats. After an acclaimed career at the forefront of trip-hop and ambient, the artist begins a new chapter with 再生 - Saisei, his first independent release. From his roots in the trip hop boom of the mid-90s, Krush has maintained a presence in the culture by working with a huge variety of artists, producing for heavyweights and embracing alternative ideas and approaches.

On this double-disc long player he's leaning in on his prowess as a producer, creating a blockbuster sized sound which adds cinematic heft to the boom bap beats and balances funk and soul instrumentation with powerful orchestration and electronic innovation. It's a rich, high-end result brimming with ideas, innovation and originality, but then what else would you expect from DJ Krush? Many of the 13 tracks are more than just hip-hop instrumental music - many verge on soundtrack-like and have a cultural influence to them as well. — (via Juno)
