DJ Krush has compiled all of his music videos, 2 documentaries, plus a book of colour photographs into one complete DVD package! The box set enjoyed a limited release in Japan earlier this year, but that wasn’t enough for Krush fans. Due to a flattering demand for the discs worldwide, it will be re-released on September 18th. The two documentaries cover most of the turntablist’s career: from his debut album to his world tour in 2006, a full eight albums and ten years span. Krush was the first Japanese artist to join Mo’ Wax, and he is credited as the first dj in Japan to play music with live musicians. Legend has it that the boy decided to become a dj after leaving the Yakuza and watching the movie “Wild Styles” (an 80’s film about graffiti and hip hop dj culture). I didn’t know anybody left the japanese mafia alive, but it seems a high-profile lifestyle is a good choice if you do…
