Description

[Machine Translation] KK", a lone Japanese beat creator who became the center of attention when he participated in DJ KRUSH's album, is releasing his long-awaited first album! In 1999, KK burst onto the scene by participating in "Rust" on DJ KRUSH's "Awakening". The following year, he independently released his first album "Vibration-Lo". The album featured DJ Dolby, Hideo Sasaki, K Bon of Think Tank, and the Core Fighters, who were responsible for the rise of the new generation of Japanese turntables, and became a monumental work representing that era. The "Pure Fragments EP," KK's first release as a leader in three years, is a collection of songs he has been working on since then. KK's appeal lies in his heavy, thick beats and varied, technical drum programming. The disturbing melodies and mechanical noises, however, emit a thick, "raw" atmosphere. comin'" has a rugged drum beat, "echoes" has a beat that drops to the neck, "peak" has a subtle bass programming, "combo" has a fine kick drum beat, "distance" has a strong rut pattern, and "chorus" has a deep, atmospheric feel. distance ", " xizm ", a three-part drum with a sense of depth and dynamic sound, and " uzu ", a rhythm that is disconnected from left to right. / / / / / The abundance of ideas completed in the sampler adds even more color to the solid technical skills.

pure fragments EP / KK

DJ KRUSHのアルバムに参加し、一躍注目されるようになった、孤高の日本人ビート・クリエーター「KK」、待望のファースト・アルバムが発売される!★1999年、DJクラッシュ『覚醒』収録の"Rust"に参加することで、KKはシーンに姿を表した。翌年にファースト・アルバム『Vibration-Lo』の自主制作発表。以前より交友のあったDJドルビーやササキヒデオ、シンク・タンクのK・ボン、さらには新世代日本ターンテーブルの興隆を担ったコアファイターズなどを迎えた同作は、その時代を代表する記念碑的作品となる。雑誌にてインタヴューが組まれるなど、数量限定流通のカセット・リリースとしては異例の高評価を得た。3年振りのリーダー作となるこの「Pure Fragments EP」は、そ フ後に作りためた曲で構成された渾身の作品集である。KKの魅力は、重量感ある太いビートと、多彩で技術的なドラム・プログラミングだ。不穏なメロディと機械的な音響ノイズとは、しかし厚みある『生』の空気を放っている。ラグドなドラムをしっかり刻む"comin'"、ズシリと首根にビートが落ちる"echoes"、微妙なベース・プログラミングでビートを走らせる"peak"、細かいキック・ドラムが見事にちりばめられた"combo"、シブい rート・パターンをじっくり刻む"distance"、奥行きある空気感にダイナミックな鳴りの3部構成ドラム"xizm"、リズムを左右でバラバラに刻む"uzu"・・・・・サンプラーのなかで完結した豊富なアイディアが、確かな技術力にさらなる彩りを与えている。
