| | An interview with DJ Krush — DJ Krush on recording his zen-style hip-hop album, Jaku |
 | | Starting in the early '90s, Krush established a sound that extended the DJ lexicon of backspins, samples and loops into new areas, and he soon began molding live musicians and a lush, orchestral production style into what could easily be identified as the first real recorded instances of hip-hop composition, almost in the classical sense. |
| | What sets him apart from the crowd, though, is his real immersion in the art form at an early age and his gradual understanding that jazz techniques could guide his moves as a DJ (or, more accurately, as a turntablist) and later on as a producer. |
| | According to the extensive studio notes at DJ Krush's Website (www.mmjp.or.jp/sus/krush), most of the tracking for Jaku began in mid-February 2004 and took place at several studios in and around Tokyo during an eight-day period. |
