Editor: The Opus.
In addition to his standing as one of the more alluring and accomplished DJs around (he is influenced equally by 20th century minimalism, jazz, hip-hop, and ambient music), DJ Krush is among independent hip-hop`s most prolific and savvy collaborators. As a result, Krush`s albums are a good place to hear the best artists in the genre, in a context distinguished by Krush`s own fragmented, detail-packed beats and samples. SHINSOU: THE MESSAGE AT THE DEPTH has more of an edge than some of his other releases, foregrounding the artist`s link to hip-hop and club music over his ambient leanings.
Vocal contributions from Antipop Consortium and Japanese rapper Inden are particularly notable; these artists match Krush`s skills on the decks with their smart, idiosyncratic flows. Angelina Esparsa lends her smooth R&B voice to "Alepheva" with a hook that blends perfectly with Krush`s churning mix. Krush also dips into a dub vibe on "The Lost Voices," with help from the infamous Sly & Robbie, and far Eastern flavors on the groovy "But the World Moves On." Fans of Krush`s more minimal work may take issue with the stylistic bravery here, but SHINSOU is one of the DJ`s boldest and most varied statements.
