This release includes a bonus DVD.
This is a continuous in-the-mix CD compiled and mixed by DJ Kentaro.
Recording information: Endeavor Studios, Tokyo, Japan.
DJ Kentaro is the impresario for this 20-track collection that brings together some of the finest names in turntablism under one umbrella. Coldcut, Wagon Christ, the Herbaliser, and DJ Food are all featured here in a seamless mix that covers funky breaks, drum-'n'-bass, and other hip-hop offshoots. There's plenty of fancy scratching to appease old-school fans, and remixes from the likes of Cornelius and Squarepusher offer a dose of accessible experimentation. The set also includes a DVD that intersperses visual arts montages and footage of DJ Kentaro performing live.
