Turntablist and producer, DJ Krush,
is one of the first Japanese artists to be embraced by the global
hip-hop world. Beginning by mixing elements of R & B and Acid Jazz
with the big breakbeat backbone of mid- tempo hip-hop. Gradually moving
more toward the abstract applying heavy effects and sample manipulation
to thick, smart breaks, layered, ambient textures and subtle, inventive
scratching. Heard here in duet with ikonoklast bassist/producer Bill
Laswell. Shuen shows both musicians seamlessly navigate through the ambient / world beat matrix...a brief journey into sound and rhythm.

P-Funk legend Bernie Worrell,
without a doubt, the most influential and definitely the most emulated
and copied electronic keyboardist in modern music. His work totally
defined the synthesizer of 80s and 90s hip-hop and can still be clearly
recognized in the pop hits of today. Caught here in a classic sound /
mush up...that moves from delicate to simply raw, intense and bombastic
free-form funkafied filth reloaded. In collaboration with
multi-directional percussion virtuoso Adam Rudolph, Brooklyn's finest DJ
/ beat generator - Dr. Israel, Bill Laswell and the original Bronx DJ -
Grandmixer DXT (Zulu Nation, Wild Style) best known for introducing
scratching to the mainstream on Herbie Hancock's mega hit "Rockit"...
Thus spawning a generation of innovative turntablists...The history
continues.
