The first association that comes to my mind when I listen to Arabica of Hamid Baroudi on which DJ Krush has layed its hands upon is indeed eternity.Both DJ Shadow and DJ Krush capture in many of their works this abstact concept for me. I mean what is eternity but a abstract negation of finiteness. Everything that we experience starts and ends at some point - ourselves inclusively. Nontheless this

DJ Krush has compiled all of his music videos, 2 documentaries, plus a book of colour photographs into one complete DVD package! It enjoyed a limited release in Japan earlier this year, but due to a flattering demand for the discs worldwide, it will be widely released on September 18th. The two documentaries cover most of the turntablist's career, from his debut album to his world tour in 200...

*"DJ Krush":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Krush has been a much respected figure with my friends in the same age group.* We share the same fondness for 90's trip-hop/hip hop and a youthful nostalgia we hold dearly and intimately from our twenty-something friends. Ah, the beginnings of life as a 'trentenaire' !The famed Japanese DJ would be playing on a renovated barge that has had trouble fin...

is that we all know the feeling of that song that is about this moment in our life.It is funny that I have carried this song around with me, pretty much everywhere I have gone for the bulk of the past decade, yet I would invariable hit the seek button whenever it would play.I'm sure it says something about me that I never truly understood the meaning of grace until the term was used to describe...

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'...

This song resides in my top 5 favorite hip-hop songs list. I might go so far as to say that it holds the top spot. Mr. Lif is a supreme talent though he certainly doesn't pull in dollars like 50 Cent. That being said, I would much rather listen to Lif's flow than 50's mangled rambling.But, the true star of this song is DJ Krush. The beat is perfectly sublime, perfectly produced, and a great mot...

I think this is the defining track on the album. Shin'ichi Kinoshita's shamisen work is what puts it over the top.If you dig the sound, Shin'ichi does a lot of collaborative work, but it can be a little hard to find. If you run across other tracks featuring Shin'ichi, I'd love to hear it.
