Soundcrash proudly presents one of the world’s most legendary producers – DJ Krush, an artist whose influence is as broad as his beats are big, is coming to London for a rare show on February 1st. And, promising a three-hour set, this one will be unmissable!

DJ Krush returns to London in February for an all-too-rare showcase of his unique brand of dark, multi-textured beats, with audiovisual delights and DJ support coming from DJ Food, Anchorsong and Mr Thing. And, with a three-hour set in store, this will be an absolute treat for beats fanatics.

Tokyo-born DJ Krush is best-known for his unique approach of instrumental hip hop, having taken the genre to a different level. His influence on some of today’s brightest stars is well-documented. Flying Lotus cites Krush as one of biggest heroes, and his influence is evident in the West Coast hip hop championed by the Stones Throw and Brainfeeder crews, as well as new the likes of Shabazz Palaces and Ratking. DJ Krush’s focus on the musicality of the genre is infectious.

Today, as relevant as he ever was, DJ Krush rarely tours, but when he does he delivers what can only be described as a masterclass in layering, beat manipulation and generally ripping places to pieces. Catch him while he’s here.

Joining DJ Krush is DJ Food, an electronic music phenomenon whose current incarnation is headed by Ninja Tune stalwart Kevin Foakes, aka Strictly Kev – designer, producer, DJ and DJ extraordinaire who encapsulates the Ninja Tune ethos to perfection in his eclecticism, vast musical knowledge, well-honed skills and forward-thinking approach, always keeping one eye on the dancefloor to make sure no one is left unsatisfied. His sets are a real treat to the senses every time.

Live support comes from Tokyo’s Masaaki Yoshida, better known as Anchorsong, who creates musical landscapes right in front of your eyes. A true technician, Anchorsong’s sets are evolutionary, and with a new album on the horizon you can expect a truckload of new material on the night.

Huge, dark, layered beats, brazen and atmospheric visuals and a rare masterclass in tearing it up – DJ Krush at The Forum is one very hot ticket!
