DJ KRUSH – Still Island

Take a look at this hypnotic combination of music and images. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to find out informations on who did the promo. The director is Toshihiko Morosawa, as reported in the comments.

DJ Krush (real name: Hideaki Ishi) is a turntable wizard born in Tokyo. Inspired to the hip-hop movement, he developed a very peculiar style that mixes blues phrases, jazzy tunes, traditional japanese instruments. And, obviously, turn table scratchings!

Still Island is included in his latest album, Jaku, released in 2004 for Sony Music. The song features Shuuzan Morita, a master player of shakuhachi, traditional japanese flute.

 Beccatevi questa ipnotica combinazione di immagini e musica. Putroppo non sono riuscito a reperire notizie sugli autori del video. Il regista è Toshihiko Morosawa, come riportato nei commenti.

DJ Krush (vero nome: Hideaki Ishi) e’ un mago del piatto nato a Tokyo. Inspirato dal movimento hip-hop, ha sviluppato uno stile peculiare che miscela fraseggi blues, jazzate, strumenti tradizionali giapponesi. Ed, ovviamente, tante screcciate sui piatti!

Still Island e’ inclusa nel suo ultimo album, Jaku, uscito nel 2004 per Sony Music. Nel pezzo suona Shuuzan Morita, un maestro del shakuhachi, flauto tradizionale giapponese.

    Hello!

    “Still island” is one of the videos that I didn’t have till now..Thanks you very much for your contribution!
    Hideaki Ishi’s knows that his music is only, I classify it like Trip hop, but of course the best definition is “dj krush music” hehe..the king of this type of music, really.
    Only a note: the correct name of the album isn’t “Jazu” is “Jaku”..
    Cheers,
    big up
