Japanese turntable champ DJ Kentaro releases his first album of original material after many acclaimed mix tapes and world turntable competition victories. This is a chaotic journey through all the forms of DJ music with a ton of guest vocalists, and as such has its highs and lows. This is not a perfect record, but for those looking for something to get the party going, I can’t think of a record made more for that reason.

Style: Hip-Hop, Turntablism

RIYL: Diplo, Spank Rock

Buy from Amazon  Official Site

Download: Harvest Dance

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.
