Personnel includes: DJ Krush (keyboards, programming, turntables). On KAKUSEI, turntable master DJ Krush strikes a wonderful balance between a layered, sonically dense aesthetic and subtle, minimal shading. The combination makes for superb listening, and the wealth of guest artists on board for this outing contribute to the fun. Though the vibe is generally best suited to head-nodding chill-out sessions, there is plenty of challenging detail to keep listeners engaged. The dark, sinuous groove of "Escapee," for example, which features DJ A.S.A., provides just the right amount of syncopated propulsion to frame Krush's mellow scratching. The Rhythm Troops create a cut-and-paste melange over the vinyl crackle of "Krushed Wall," while "1200" loops strains of jazzy saxophone through swirling harp and a steady drum track. There are no guest MCs here, so there is nothing to distract from the atmospheric, instrumental wash of the record, which upholds Krush's claim as one of the more graceful and enthralling DJs around.
