Biographie : (wikipedia)
DJ Krush, de son vrai nom Hideaki Ishi (né en 1962 à Tōkyō), musicien japonais et figure emblématique de la scène abstract hip-hop.
Adolescent désœuvré dans la mégalopole japonaise, Hideaki Ishi rejoint un gang des rues tokyoïte, après un médiocre parcours scolaire. Ce n'est que lorsqu'il voit pour la première fois le film Wild Style (1982), que Hideaki se passionne pour la culture hip-hop et s'achète ses premières platines et tables de mixage. Il débute sa carrière en tant que DJ de groupes de breakdance à une époque où la scène hip-hop japonaise n'est que balbutiante. En 1987, il forme son premier groupe, le Krush Possse. Bien que remarqué, les labels ne s'y intéressent guère et le groupe se sépare en 1992.
Influencées par Miles Davis ou James Brown, ses musiques sont empreintes de soul et de jazz. En 1994, il sort son premier album, Krush. Chaleureusement accueilli par la presse spécialisée, il se fait remarquer aux États-Unis et en Europe. Il rencontre alors James Lavelle qui le fait signer dans son jeune label, Mo'Wax, où il sort Strictly Turntablized. En 1996, il rejoint DJ Sak et DJ Hide et forme le collectif RYU (le premier album, Ga sort en 2000). Au fil de ses albums, DJ Krush étonne par son mélange des genres, et va même jusqu'à réaliser un album avec le trompettiste Toshinori Kondō (Ki-oku, 1998).
En 2002, avec Shinso, DJ Krush se tourne vers l'outil informatique pour réaliser ses albums.
En 2004, DJ Krush sort son huitième album, et s'impose comme une des références de l'abstract hip-hop.
Il a récemment participé au projet stop-rokkasho.org initié par Ryūichi Sakamoto contre la construction d'une usine de traitement du combustible usé et celle d'un réacteur à fusion nucléaire de type ITER [1] au nord de l'île de Honshū.
En 2007 il participe à l'ensemble OuMuPo du label Ici d'ailleurs et en signe le volume 6 en réinterprétant les pistes des musiciens français du label. Il fait suite au volume 5 signé par son ami DJ Hide. L'album est accompagné d'un livret dessiné par Killofer.
Il a travaillé ces dernières années à la bande originale d'un film d'animation russo-japonais intitulé First Squad, dont la sortie est prévue en 2009.

DJ Krush - Ko-No-Michi (2008)
As the ambassador of Japanese hip hop, Krush’s appeal to hip hop fans is a given. However, the DVD works best in showing the extent of Krush’s influence and musical explorations, which have taken him well outside the boundaries of what many consider hip hop, today or yesterday. Krush is much more than a living legend of hip hop, he is one of a select few modern musical geniuses.
