唯一勇夺世界DMC冠军的亚洲人——DJ Kentaro
技艺超群的忍者----DJ Kentaro 出身于日本北部。他在这座称之为‘都市森林’的城 市中吸收了各类音乐元素。他代表了仙台城并把他对音乐创造力和音乐意识展现给全世界,他的搓盘技艺和对多种音乐元素的融合让人不得不钦佩!特别要提出的是他在2002年的DMC的比赛上勇夺第一,而2002年的冠军分数也是历届最高的,可见他的技术有多么的出神入化!
而在对一些传统乐器的使用上也是无可比拟的富有创造力,太鼓,三味线,尺八,都在他的手中与电音完美结合,这就是KENTARO带给我们的想像力和惊喜!最后要说的是关于他在加入英国电音大牌NINJA以后推出的NO WALL BETWEEN THE MUSIC》在着张专辑里他把NINJA旗下集结起来的MIX合辑收录了solid steel tour in tokyo和on the wheels of solid steel animation。而其中的DVJ绝对是最出彩的,动画和KENTARO本人的切换,还有出人意料的VJ表现手法都是非常有意思和好玩的东西,强烈推荐大家看看!!
After announcing himself to a worldwide audience with his Solid Steel mix "On The Wheels Of Solid Steel", Japan\'s DJKENTARO returns with his full production debut, "Enter". Forty minutes of beautifully structured beats, musical smarts and occasional smattering of turntable magic, the record also features guest turns from The Pharcyde (Not on promo), Spank Rock, New Flesh, Little Tempo, Hifana and Fat Jon.
Kentaro is best known as a phenomenal turntablist and former DMC World Champion, but on this debut record, he\'s more concerned with showing his muscle as a music producer. Which is why "Enter" runs from the funk of "Free" to the dubby
downtempo soul of "Tasogare Highway…", through the drum and bass attack of "Rainy Day," the live reggae feel of "Handmade Gift," the squelching dance aesthetic of "Space Jungle," on into the tribal space-jazz of "Harvest Dance," the epic turntable cut-up of "One Hand Blizzard" and, finally, the cosmic hip hop of "Let It Go". It\'s not that he can\'t scratch the shit out of a piece of vinyl when he wants to (check finale "Grateful To You") it\'s just that he understands that making a great album demands a wider palette.
Utterly contemporary, completely rooted in hip hop\'s old skool aesthetics and with a magpie naivety which gives him a freedom within them...
Kentaro enters your musical consciousness so that you can enter his. Come in…
