Style 43

DJ Krush, undoubtedly one of the most important DJs and musicians on the planet, is back in the smoke for a massive gig at London’s glorious KOKO.

His performance tonight heralds his first UK release in years. With support from The Herbaliser and DJ Vadim as well as the Shadow Orchestra and Memory 9.

The History of DJ Krush DVD offers an epic recounting of the career of Japanese turntabalist, from his landmark first album ‘Meiso’ to his 2006 world tour. Included are two documentaries–filled with behind-the-scenes footage from his tours and album recording sessions, as well as all of the atmospheric beat-maker’s music videos. Ever…

DJ Krush is arguably the most gifted producer & DJ in the world with a superb sense in mixing and composing his sound who’s been lauded for years by both his domestic and the international audience. Probably the most revered and renowned Japanese musician alive; the very fact of this unprecedented esteem goes some way toward justifying his laurels alone.

Krush was the first DJ to use turntables as live instruments, doing free sessions with live musicians on stage and comes at you in 2007 as the battle hardened veteran of dance floor killing shows from Tokyo to the corners of concert halls across the globe.

DJ Vadim is a 4 weetabix a day powerhouse DJ/producer/musical incendiary and he hits the decks tonight surfing the wave of his latest release ‘The Soundcatcher’. Brazilian carnival spirit crossed with a reggae soundsystem and Brooklyn hiphop sensibilities. DJ Vadim at his eclectic best, rocking the dancefloor like never before.

Anyone who has caught a Krush gig in the past will clamour to see the great man again and with support acts of this calibre, anyone who missed out in the past should grab this opportunity with both hands. Thanks to the lovely dudes over at Soundcrash, we’ve hooked up a pair of tickets for one lucky winner, just send your answer this easy question to Jen@Style43.com by Friday 1st of August.
