In 2011, we interviewed Japanese turntable legend DJ Krush (a.k.a. Hideaki Ishii) about celebrating two decades in the mix, his plans for the future and his thoughts on the earthquake and tsunami which devastated his country that year. For the first edition of Throwback Thursday, we're republishing our conversation with one of hip-hop's master mixers. DJ Krush is celebrating 20 years in the business, and he's showing no signs of slowing down. To commemorate his anniversary, Japan's king of spin is about to embark on a worldwide tour and will continue releasing [...]]]> text/html 2013-01-24T17:35:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4739145/data-aphex-twin-selected-ambient-works-85-92-la-unin/

A turntablist turned dubstep detontator, seduced by gigantic wobbles being able to hit the big time, DJ Kentaros kitchen sink mentality is a mere half-hour long, the development of stylus wrecker to Japanese exocet having him breathe fire and running the city into a fever. The cut and dice never leaves him, intelligently worked into "Crossfader" and electro-funk ease-up "Next Page," and theres more than enough hip-hop firepower DJ Krush, D-Styles, Kid Koala, C2C to bill Contrast as a purely multi-deck throwdown. "Kikkake" and "Higher" however immediately state his intentions to push the plunger down on [...]]]> text/html 2012-08-07T16:40:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4434775/download-dj-kentaro-contrast-mini-mix/

BIG GAME BASS If this tune was an animal you would give it both barrels, have it stuffed and mount it on the wall of your study. Then you would sit beneath it in a wing-backed chair smoking a pipe regaling all and sundry of your alpha-male dominance over man and snarling beast.]]> text/html 2012-05-14T17:10:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4264427/upcoming-event-big-beach-festival-12-nrt/

It's been a minute since we've dipped into the All Saints Basement Sessions, but the latest sit-down with the mighty James Lavelle - he of many musical hats - seems like as good a place as any. As most readers of this blog (I see you, old beardos) are probably aware, James is the man behind the seminal Mo Wax label, which broke more ground than a ground breaking thing back in the 90's and onwards. There have been a billion tags applied to the Mo Wax sound, many of them cringe worthy in [...]]]> text/html 2011-12-22T16:33:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3954182/how-was-2011-for-you-shigeto/
Zachary " Shigeto " Saginaw arrived at a new professional plateau in 2011, one where his years of hard work and dedication to finessing his glitchy bliss allowed him to finally approach music on a full-time basis. While collaborating with other artists and pushing his sound to the next level in '11, his Full Circle Remixes enabled a slew of equally talented producers to re-imagine his work. Now that he's enjoyed a big year including relocating to New York City's best borough we asked Saginaw to put the year into perspective for us.

Japanese producer/turntablist DJ Krush will return to the US with his jazz-inflected hip hop beats to play at least two shows in February. One is at Music Hall of Williamsburg on February 19th ( tickets ), a celebration of 20 years behind the decks as a solo artist and part of his 20th anniversary world tour. With the kick-off party in Tokyo in July, DJ KRUSH's 20th anniversary of solo career opened its doors. The opening of the new chapter of the anniversary will be the long awaited releases of new tunes.

DJ Krush is celebrating 20 years in the business, and he's showing no signs of slowing down. To commemorate his anniversary, Japan's king of spin is about to embark on a worldwide tour and will continue releasing new material via iTunes in preparation for a looming new solo album. Hugh Bohane got a chance to interview him just after his recent U.S tour. What have been some of the best memories of your 20 year career so far?

I finally got to see, probably, one of my favorite bands ever, like EVER last night at Brixton Academy. They go by The Music . I thought this might be an endearing way for me to start the post as they are Leeds boys and took pleasure in reminding us that we are southerners and they are not. Whatever to be honest the gig was out of this world, but in a typical way they are now splitting up and destined to remain only in the memories and ears of their fans.
