  Kid Koala - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eric San (born 1974 in Vancouver, Canada), who records under the name Kid Koala, is a Montreal, Quebec based DJ and turntablist.
Following this tour Kid Koala has performed DJ sets all over Asia, discovering new fans in destinations such as Iceland, Eastern Europe, Russia, and South America all the while working on a fresh new book (apparently about a mosquito trying to play a clarinet) and a unique puppet show set to take place in 2008.
San is currently working on a new Kid Koala album, entitled "Your Mom’s Favourite DJ" (ZENCD127), which is due for release on 25 September 2006.

 Koala -- Kids' Planet -- Defenders of Wildlife
The koala resembles a bear, but is actually a marsupial, a special kind of mammal which carries its young in a pouch.
Koalas can live as long as 17 years, although high mortality rates (due to car fatalities and dogs) for males lower their life expectancy to 2 to 10 years.
Once numbering in the millions, koalas suffered major declines in population during the 1920s when they were hunted for their fur.

 Kid Koala
Montreal-based scratch DJ Kid Koala's (aka Eric San) full-length debut was one of the most anticipated, and delayed, hip-hop records in Canada.
At the same time, Kid Koala says that in live performance he tends to be more physical and beat-oriented since something that works on record may not work live, and vice versa.
Koala notes that when DJ reaction sheets came back saying they couldn't use Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in their club set, he was surprised they even thought they would be able to.

 Splendid E-zine reviews: Kid Koala
For quite some time, Kid Koala was something of an urban legend -- at least as far as I was concerned.
I had heard story after story about how he really was a kid, about what an awesome decksmith he was, that he was the owners of over 20,000 slabs of wax, and last but not least that he had webbed feet.
Kid Koala is in fact 24 year-old Canadian Eric Sen, who as it turns out is quite the decksmith and does claim to own some ridiculous amount of vinyl.

Koala also appeared on the second volume of The Bomb's Return of the DJ compilation with his track "Static's Waltz," another excerpt from his mix tape.

Canadian DJ Kid Koala impresses the masses with his skill at spinning vinyl as the opener for such bands as Radiohead and Beastie Boys.
Long before Koala was identifying with astromech droids, he was a little boy growing up in Vancouver pretending his home was really in the snow banks of Hoth.
Kid Koala continued to tour extensively as a member of groups such as Deltron 3030, Lovage, Bullfrog and also as the opening act for Radiohead.

‘Kid Koala’, whose family is originally from Guangdong province, is recognized as one of the world’s most innovative scratch DJs.
We are delighted that ‘Kid Koala’ who is especially noted for his eclectic style is bringing his diverse range of influence to China.” A truly innovative Canadian musician, he certainly has a unique scratching technique and often plays up to 6 turntables at one time.
Eric San, a.k.a ‘Kid Koala’, was born in Vancouver, Canada in 1974.

 phoenixnewtimes.com | Music | Kid Koala
The Kid has as much in common with the surgical precision of turntablist crews such as the X-ecutioners or the Invisibl Skratch Piklz as he does the Chris Elliott-inspired humor of Modeling School.
As bad pickup lines fade in and out, Koala scratches some of the dialogue until the men seem like clueless predators as the objects of their affection respond with things like, "I'm sorry, do I know you?" It's the funky juxtaposition of the horny music and crestfallen suitors that leaves listeners equally entranced with both.
Still, with everybody and his kid brother putting out a DJ record, this album (four years in the making) isn't as stunning as one might have hoped -- perhaps Koala's guest appearances built up too much hype.

 Amazon.co.uk: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Music: Kid Koala   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Koala describes his LP as having been "hand-cut": this is music that was made by manipulating his vinyl and record decks--much of it in real-time.
A radical approach but Koala is a virtuoso DJ and can use his turntables to generate delicate melody and subtle shades of meaning.
You really don't know what Kid Koala is going to throw into the mix second by second--here a twisted sound, there a snippet of '50s television dialogue, there a rap sample.This album is a perfect demonstration of the truly postmodern nature of hip-hop and gets more compelling with each listen.

 Kid Koala : Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
That's why Kid Koala's full-length debut, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, is so important: It's capable of making turntablism engaging to a wider audience.
It isn't that Kid Koala is necessarily the greatest DJ spinning, although he's clearly in the top tier.
Koala makes it easy for listeners to follow the transformation of his source material into totally different creations, and builds some deceptively dense, layered tracks; plus, his explosive scratching (best heard on "A Night at the Nufonia") is the equivalent of a guitar shredder soloing.

Koala is the Ornette Coleman of DJs, bending sound for the purpose of showing you what he can do and what he has to say, not so you can get up and dance.
Kid Koala essentially brought turntablism to the mainstream with "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome", but the album is VERY uneven and not all that great.

 Kid Koala: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - PopMatters Music Review
Recorded directly from two turntables and a mixer without the aid of a sampler, the album is high on jazzy breaks and a jokey atmosphere in the vein of labelmates Coldcut and Funki Porcini.
Early on, Kid Koala lets you in on a secret about himself and his fellow DJs (courtesy of a clip from "Revenge of Nerds"): "We're nothing but the nerds they say we are." Kid Koala's real charm is not his virtuosity, per se, but his ability to express the simple joy of playing with records.
And if you're looking for a change of format after digging through the crates, the CD is padded with a 36-page comic book drawn by Kid Koala himself and "Vinoids," an update of the classic video game, "Asteroids." That kind of surplus value should appease any vinyl junkie.
