dj krush commemorates his 25th anniversary with kiseki, a brand new collaborative album which reaffirms his status as japan’s original beat master. there’s everything we’ve come to expect from the man, heavy breaks with fierce raps, serene soundscapes and seamless pro-duction. teaming up with the latest crop of japanese mc’s, kiseki brings krush back into focus, a pioneer who’s still ahead of the pack.
the message at the depth is underground rap for the digital age, far removed from the moldy crates and dusty beats of krushs mo wax classic strictly turntablized. his beats are digital, heavily resampled and quantized, splintering off like drum n bass patterns but possessing a depth and clarity not seen since the heyday of massive attack.
pressing on 180 gram audiophile vinyl.
