After announcing himself to a worldwide audience with his Solid Steel mix "On The Wheels Of Solid Steel", Japan's DJKENTARO returns with his full production debut, "Enter". Forty minutes of beautifully structured beats, musical smarts and occasional smattering of turntable magic, the record also features guest turns from The Pharcyde (Not on promo), Spank Rock, New Flesh, Little Tempo, Hifana and Fat Jon.
Kentaro is best known as a phenomenal turntablist and former DMC World Champion, but on this debut record, he's more concerned with showing his muscle as a music producer. Which is why "Enter" runs from the funk of "Free" to the dubby downtempo soul of "Tasogare Highway…", through the drum and bass attack of "Rainy Day," the live reggae feel of "Handmade Gift," the squelching dance aesthetic of "Space Jungle," on into the tribal space-jazz of "Harvest Dance," the epic turntable cut-up of "One Hand Blizzard" and, finally, the cosmic hip hop of "Let It Go". It's not that he can't scratch the shit out of a piece of vinyl when he wants to (check finale "Grateful To You") it's just that he understands that making a great album demands a wider palette.
Utterly contemporary, completely rooted in hip hop's old skool aesthetics and with a magpie naivety which gives him a freedom within them...
Kentaro enters your musical consciousness so that you can enter his. Come in…
若干20歳にして世界最高峰のDJバトル "DMC DJ CHAMPIONSHIPS 2002" において、16 人のジャッジ中15人が１位をつける脅威のダブルスコアをつけ（2位:UK）、全DMC史上でも今だ最高得点というギネス付きで、アジア人初の世界チャンピオンに輝く。そして遂に2006年4月に正式に"Ninja Tune"とアーティスト契約を交わすと、1stソロ・アルバム“ENTER”が2007年春に全世界リリースされた。独特にして強烈なリズムと、ジャンルを縦横無尽に駆け巡るサウンドデザインが評価され、オリコンインディーズチャー ト１位・i-Tunesのダンスチャートではアルバム、シングル共に１位を獲得。そしてDVD化もされたそのリリースツアーでは、エンターテイメントとしてのDJプレイの完成形に多くの人が熱狂した。2008年2度に渡り行われたヨーロッパツアーも大成功を収め、2009年もアジア各地、ヨーロッパでの数多くの春夏フェス出演が決定。今年も海外日程が目白押しの年になる。地球上を飛び回るDJKENTAROは、唯一無二の存在として、この細分化された世の中で様々な生き方の人間から絶大な支持を受けている。2008.9.24にNAMALIVE MIXをドロップ、絶賛好評発売中！end VIP Director / Endeavor Entertainment / Ninja Tune 所属。
