When I was in Tokyo, I was overwhelmed by the number of vinyl shops that were literally stacked on top of each other in one neighborhood. I also noticed an incredible amount of old-skool reprints - anything from disco to hip-hop. This love of older sound is totally represented within DJ Kentaro release (it is also worthwhile mentioning that he was the first Asian to win the DMC World DJ Final award). The tracks are fun 80s hip-hop, sampled jazzy loops with breaks, and even an occasional whiff of nostalgic jungle beat.
