DJ KRUSH
Having been invited by the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane to perform at their UP LATE series for the Valentino Retrospective... KRUSH will return to Australia in September for this and a performance the following night at The Tivoli as co-headliner with Regurgitator.
Known as one of the first hip-hop artists in Japan, DJ Krush (Hideaki Ishi) is a globally renowned producer, remixer and DJ. DJ Krush constantly expands his field - working on film soundtracks, television dramas and commercials, as well as live sessions with other musicians.
In 1991, Krush's remix TVO was a hit in the London club scene. He released his debut self-titled album in 1994 (Shadow Records), and since then has released eight solo records, including releases in Japan, Europe and the Unites States, and numerous singles, remixes and collaborations. With his music ranging from hip-hop to techno and acid jazz, some critics have labelled Krush the Godfather of trip-hop, referring to the multi-layered psychedelic element of his music. www.sus81.jp/djkrush

In March 2007, a historical collection of the 12 years of his career "Suimou Tsunenimasu" was released in Japan in a special DVD box.
Aside from his outer national activities as producer, remixer and DJ, he constantly expands his field from soundtracks for films, TV dramas & commercials to live sessions with various musicians that transcends music genre.
