DJ KRUSH RELEASES HIS FIRST EVER DVD SET, THE MASSIVE 3-DISC “HISTORY OF DJ KRUSH / SUIMOU TSUNENIMASU”

On September 18, acclaimed Japanese producer / turntablist DJ Krush offered up his first ever DVD entitled History Of DJ Krush. The collection encompasses a whopping 3 DVD’s and features every DJ Krush music video to date along with two documentaries.

Those who are familiar with DJ Krush’s past work know that each release is created with a sense of high artistic value. Beyond the three discs in History Of DJ Krush you will find a package complete with gold foiled packaging and beautiful photographs that document this legendary artist’s career. It’s really a site to
behold.

History Of DJ Krush traces DJ Krush’s path from the recording of his 1995 album MEISO through to his 2006 world tour. Throughout the DVDs, you’ll see never-before-scene footage of DJ Krush in many different situations that helped to define his career. One of the standout moments is a DJ set performed on a specially-constructed stage on the rooftop of a building in Tokyo; shot in November 2006 exclusively for this DVD, amid his world tour. This is the most intimate look into DJ Krush’s career that’s ever been previously available.

The Japanese saying “SUIMOU TSUNENIMASU” is translated to mean “There’s no end to training.” The saying derives from a legendary sword called Suimou-ken and legend has it that the sword cut everything that passed its way. Yet, even this finest sword would become blunt if it wasn’t constantly polished. There’s no end to training. You must keep on disciplining yourself. Once you’ve mastered something, you have to work even harder, this time to teach, to keep your craft polished, to keep your feet on the ground, and to break out of habit. DJ Krush’s message for this DVD set is "KEEP GOING" which resonates with this saying.
