I pride myself on knowing a bit about music but this kid totally snuck up on me. What is even more embarrassing is that he is on the Ninja Tune label, a DMC Champion and I still haven't heard him. All that has changed though.
He definitely has an outstanding DJ pedigree. 3rd place in the DMC world championship in 2001 and in 2002 DJ Kentaro (Kentaro Okamoto) rocked a set inspired by his consciousness "No walls between the music" recieving the 1st ever perfect score.
His new record is Enter and it features some top notch hip hop talent like The Pharcyde, Spank Rock, New Flesh, Little Tempo, Hifana and Fat Jon. The record certainly shows off Kentaro's blend of hip-hop, breaks, drum & bass and turntablism. Check out a cut:
Buy: The new album drops March 28th. Not sure if its going to be available in the states but be sure to check here.
