Available in:
Known the world over as both a turntablist and as a sound creator, Japan's DJ KENTARO first entered the consciousness of the global music community by scoring a landslide victory at the world's biggest DJ battle, the DMC 2002, to become the first ever Asian Champion of the World. Since then he has performed shows across the globe, played Fuji Rock and other large scale festivals outside his home country and continued to tour HARD - footage from which was included in his first DVD "National Geoscratch" released in Jan 2005, which mainly featured his 40-day solo Europe tour and also included the video 'Loop Daigakuin' which went on to accumulate over 2,000,000 views on youtube. In December 2004 Kentaro released a Mix album of tunes all from heavily respected and established UK label Ninja Tune - it was for the Solid Steel mix series and it was the globally acclaimed 'On The Wheels Of Solid Steel'. While increasingly playing sessions with singers and instrumentalists, he also started to move his focus onto track producing and started releasing remixes, both of Japanese and international artists.
April 2006 saw Kentaro sign to Ninja Tune as an artist and the resulting album, his debut solo full-length "ENTER", blew minds worldwide with its original rhythms and borderless sound design. After going to number 1 on the indie charts on Oricon in Japan, it also topped the iTunes Dance Chart with both album and single going to number 1. In 2008, Kentaro released his next mix album "TUFF CUTS" on Pete Holdsworth's renown reggae/dub re-issue label Pressure Sounds and has since also released a mix "NAMA LIVE MIX" on his own label, Endeavor. He will also be included in the much awaited compilation box set celebrating 20 years of Ninja Tune due for release in 2010. DJ KENTARO continues to speed across the globe, giving people a taste of his genre-less musicality while fans worldwide wait for his eagerly anticipated new album.
