Description:
Personnel: DJ Krush (programming, scratches); Toshinori Kondo (acoustic & electric trumpets). Japanese turntable master DJ Krush pairs up with trumpeter Toshinori Kondo on this moody set that combines hip-hop, jazz, and ambient music. Though Kondo`s resume includes work with such left-field figures as Derek Bailey, John Zorn, and Fred Frith, KI-OKU has none of the avant-skronk associated with those artists. In large part, that`s due to Krush`s wide, atmospheric textures, and languid, mid-tempo break-beats, which both soften and anchor the album`s sound, creating lush spaces for Kondo`s horn to drift through. KI-OKU sounds both primitive and futuristic at once, with an overall vibe that owes a significant debt to Miles Davis`s late-period electric albums. Alternately abstract and groove-driven, Krush`s thick, rhythmic patterns and Kondo`s processed trumpet, which sometimes sounds like a wild animal struggling through the forest, recall classic, early-1970s Miles compositions like "He Loved Him Madly." But KI-OKU, with its scratching and electronics, is quite contemporary, and its mix of genres, moods, and references makes for a mesmerizing listen.
