Hip hop legend: Instrumental producer DJ Krush at Band on the Wall

Chilled out hip hop instrumentals icon DJ Krush is set to perform at Manchester’s Band on the Wall on the back of his 2017 record, KISEKI. His 25-year career has found fans worldwide drawn to his distinctive orchestral samples, which cradle the senses and bring to life an oeuvre of hip hop-influenced beats without the need for rap accompaniment. As a double LP release, Kiseki combines versions of tracks both with and without guest vocalists, showing how well they stand up to scrutiny and serving as a reminder of the bar he raised for hip hop production back in the 1990s along with contemporaries like DJ Shadow.
