DJ KRUSH is one of the most successful hip-hop producers outside of the US and has evolved his sound over a series of flawless albums since his eponymous debut in 1994. His second album Strictly Turntablised (Mowax) was entirely instrumental and the music press began to use the term ‘trip-hop’ to describe his trademark sound, sparse mid tempo breakbeats with a smoked-out atmosphere.

However, Krush continued to release albums with new and different sounds, collaborating with US and Japanese emcees from CL Smooth, Black Thought, Mos Def, Company Flow, and Inden to name a few. His most recent proper album (not including remix projects etc.), Jaku, featured traditional Japanese musicians to create yet another variation in the Krush sound.

Long time fans can look forward to the first completely new DJ Krush album the coming year, while for newcomers, we strongly urge you to investigate his whole discography because so far all his records have been winners.
