		DJ Krush proves to be an innovative producer because he incorporates modern music to the traditional music.

	DJ Krush: Code 4109: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Krush pays respects to "old-skool" rap, some disco-dancin' fluff, and scratches through electro sub-groups from a to z.
		It’s not frenetic like you might expect-- Krush is restrained throughout the record, preferring delicate piano themes and saxes to turntable acrobatics.
		You’d expect Krush wouldn’t have time enough on the disc to lay out everything he has, but his restraint, while often initially dead-on, runs long in the tooth.

		Oh, they've always been around, I guess, but back in the day, the DJ stood in the shadows with his turntables and mixing boards, directly back and to the left of the rapper in the spotlight.
		Now, I'm not doubting that DJ Krush is great with the loops, but this record's not letting on.
		DJ Krush has been called "Japan's #1 DJ." Granted, that could mean anything, but I trust his credentials.

	DJ Krush - Zen
		DJ collections are always a tricky proposition, because they either end up as bafflingly great failures or classics.
		Regardless, a DJ would hardly be asked to produce an album if their dossier weren't in some way respectable, so some amount of excellence is expected.
		Whether or not to assail DJ Krush for a release that's more ethereal than solid is up to you, but at the same time it would be a shame to disregard "Zen" completely.

		The mix factor on this record was a good touch, the first done by Krush and long awaited.
		DJ Cam also makes a track appearance - in short the mixing has already blown me away.
		Like I said above, the Krush fan will recognise a few tracks which may be upsetting but the intent of this album is not to release new music and besides - no rest for the wicked.

		Since DJ Krush is not a native English speaker and English being the lingua franca of net-communication, the questions were formulated in English and translated to Japanese for DJ Krush's response.
		DJ Krush: Actually, "Ki-Oku" with Toshinori Kondo is an album we did back in '96, it's just that it got released in US just recently, and as for Ronny Jordan, that's back in '94 that I did a remix EP for him.
		DJ Krush: The hiphop scene here has become bigger and is still growing, got pop bands and TV commercials incorporating it, etc., and that's good in a way, that more people are listening to the music.

		In an interview with the UK magazine, Fly, Krush stated that he wanted to see if he could deliver an image by sound and that Meiso, and "Duality" especially, were an attempt to deliver on that promise.
		In that same interview, Krush says the first three albums were the ideas in the first drawer in his head.
		DJ Krush is still looking to the future, still pushing at the edges of the genres, finding bits which break off and can slip into his mix, finding new pathways to wander down, finding new ways to make music which can connect a global audience.

	DJ Krush: Jaku - PopMatters Music Review
		Considering that DJ Krush is representin' for the hip-hop nation by way of his native land of Japan, it is interesting to reflect on the unique cross-cultural currents that define his work.
		Krush released his first solo album Krush in 1994, and has continued to record, release and tour relentlessly since then, at a staggering rate of just about one album every year for a decade.
		Although Krush was initially hesitant to incorporate the music of Japan into his compositions, for fear of it being perceived as a gimmick, he has since rethought his philosophy.

	DJ Krush and Toshinori Kondo - Ki-Oku - Review
		DJ Krush is one of those downtempo spinmeisters who's been around for quite some time.
		In case you're wondering, Toshinori Kondo is a trumpet player, and the nature of the noise he produces fits right into the style of music that DJ Krush is usually known for.
		In fact, in a lot of Krush's beat-heavy songs, horns play a major part of the moody, giving a new life to the usually mid to downtempo grooves that he weaves.

		DJ Krush is considered part of a growing Japanese hip hop scene, which includes other internationally known artists such as DJ Honda and DJ Takemura, both also turntablists and producers.
		DJ Krush was able to observe some of hip hop music's founding practitioners, such as Grandmaster DST, perform their amazing new turntable style.
		DJ Krush's extremely bass heavy style (known to create room vibrations and blow speakers during production), has meant that he cannot mix his tracks in Japan, where studio engineers are unfamiliar with the foreign style, wanting instead a 'clear, tame bass'.

	DJ Krush: The Message at the Depth ---Ink Blot Magazine
		DJ Krush was the first to make a career out of it, his early quasi-turntablist work fitting nicely into Mo' Wax's 1994 purple patch and helping establish the genre that we surely did not call trip-hop.
		Along with DJ Shadow, he kept the music interesting when it was G-Funking to death in 1994; but like Shadow, it's easy to question his relevance today.
		Perhaps understandably, Krush finds a piñata to attack on the vocal front, and, as he did on his last album, he's drafted in some leaders from the leftfield of rap to make his point.

		WAAHK!" on DJ Krush's seventh full-length, The Message at the Depth, that if all else fails (and it does), he can at least pretend that this album was 65 million years before its time.
		Krush's beats are just unbelievably stale here, but that's not this record's only problem (even if it is its most immediate).
		DJ Krush is hellbent on illustrating his own interpretation of HELL: a war-torn, apocalyptic world based on history and current events that also falls in line with the premise of many a Manga.

		Krush was born in Tokyo in 1962 and gravitated towards towards Japan’s nascent club music/hip hop scene while in his late teens.
		In 1987 he formed the group Krush Posse, which soon gained a reputation as one of Japan’s best and most serious hip-hop acts, at a time when hip-hop and rap were still very much considered novelties on the fringe of the Japanese music scene.
		Krush emerged as a solo act after the group broke up in 1992, and he soon developed a strong reputation on the international club-music scene.

		Krush: The main reason I put rappers on my new album was because by putting the instrumental tracks and rap tracks together on one album, it was possible to see whether a DJ could make a track strong enough without vocals to stand up to those with rap.
		Krush: Looking back on it right now, because I was a truly bad juvenile delinquent; involved in a biker's gang, cutting school, doing drugs, getting into fights, always getting arrested by the police and actually working for one of our gangster groups, my reality was a truly underworld one.
		Krush: Right now, I'm working on a track with a Japanese rapper, who's also an old friend of mine called Zingi, and that's going to be on his own solo album due out at the end of the year.

		Krush’s samples are always top notch, always diverse, in “Univearth” there is a didgeridoo, something picked up in Australia obviously, and when I saw him a couple of years ago here he commenced his set with another didgeridoo sample which the crowd delighted in.
		DJ Krush is a smart and contemplative guy, his music reflects that.
		Krush goes nuts on the effects feeding off his scratches, as jarring sequences of beat writing, still subtle enough not to impose on the rhythmic pulse, lead into a section where the entire piece slows down only to cut back drastically as a deep sine bass line sampled from the blipped drum samples starts mayhem.

		Once he has the listener open, Krush takes you on a whirlwind trip spanning hip-hop, drum and bass, jazz, dub and rock, with the help of Black Thought and Brother ?uestion of the Roots, Co-flow, and N'dea Davenport among others.
		Live, Krush has been known for stunning turntable wizardry that has left people staring at the booth, and he has even performed with other artists using the decks and a mixer as live instruments.

	Soundslam Reviews
		On DJ Krush’s newest record, you will find a man that is searching for something outside the formula or creative processes that brought him critical acclaim.
		This is a perfect example of how Krush establishes a feeling and aura, but allows the listener to create a story or interpretation in their own mind, much like happens with dope jazz music.
		In hindsight, this is quite a bit different from Krush’s previous records, as he attempts to do something that many non-American hip hop artists don’t do: use his own native culture as his influence for this hip hop record.
