A few weeks ago Hermes provided me with a long overdue, but very thorough intro to DJ Krush. I've spent much of my time since trying to digest as much Krush material as possible. I'm sort of addicted at this point, but I can say that of the material I've come across the album Ki-oku works best for me. I know getting hung up on classifications is a little meaningless at times, but I'd say it's more trip-hop than hip-hop. Whatever it is, most of it really works for me.
This track features the rock solid ambient groove and slightly discordant horns he seems to like. It also sports a slight variation on a slammin' bassline used by Dre years ago, one of the reasons I picked it since one of the tracks Hermes posted incorporated another nice bassline used by the Pharcyde. I'll throw the Dre track up in a comment.

If the bassline in "Edge of Blue" sounds fermiliar you mightta heard it here:
"A Nigga Wit A Gun" from Dr. Dre's Chronic
Edge Of Blue sounds like it has a slowed version of tom scott's Sneakin' in the Back intro, but that's just me..krush does a lot more with it than Dre or Massive attack or Tom Scott for that matter..Nice one.
According to The breaks.com both dre and krush are using a Johnny Hammond Tune called Big Sur Suite..goes to show you what i know..
Cody B long time no talk. You back on the M-O-G? Summer vacay over or is this just a cameo? Whatever the case, I appreciate the scoop on that bassline/groove. I was hoping someone would dig in come up with the original source. Thanks for supllying "Big Sur Suite"
A cameo as I try to keep up with my fate in MOG wars...Going on vaca for real next week.
ooh, i LOVE Krush! fantastic post too, thanks for all the info and audio. especially the relation to Dre, that's killer!
Cody, I especially like the track on your first comment. What you said implies that it is Tom Scott doing "Sneakin' in the Back," but maybe you meant krush. Technical difficulties prevent me from determining the answer on my own today.
The first song I put up was sneakin in the back..it sounded to me like krush slowed it down for his cut annd the Ton Scott track has been sampled by many..but breaks.com com said different so I came back w/the Johnny Hammond..I'm not totally conviniced it isn't Tom Scott,but I will defer and admit defeat.
Let's report back if either of us figures out who and what it is.
I thought I was being clear,but if I wasn't the first song I posted was Sneakin' in the Back-Tom Scott..The second song was Big Sur Suite-Johnny "Hammond"Smith.
Doh!

Shmilykiky, what really interests me is what do [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] and [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]#### secretly mean? Are the three 40+ "girls" you mentioned, with names all ending with the letter "a," all heavy into DJ Krush?
what do here? the barbarians are at the gate or perhaps inside the wire or some other cliche. Yanni, the hi-hop artist, Tully was it, now this. Dang
Plunge in. It's a tough job and it's your post, but somebody has to do it.
