DJ Krush is releasing his first album in 11 years. The 2xLP and CD versions of “Butterfly Effect” went up for pre-order today, and will be released at the end of September.

The Tokyo producer helped usher in the 90s Downtempo sound with his 1994 albums “Krush” on Chance Records and “Strictly Turntablized” for Mo Wax Records. DJ Krush’s style is epitomized by his heavily reverbed drums and densely layered jazz samples, now staples of the genre. Unlike his many imitators though, Krush’s compositions have a real emotional edge to them. They rise and fall organically, and embody a pure sense of Cool, full of purpose & HipHop swagger, but touched by melancholy.

I recently listened to the “Stepping Stones” compilation, which all his own remixes of his album cuts. They’re almost all amazing. I can’t believe it’s been 11 years since jaku.
only the strong survive eleven years without a release. thanks for the heads up.
