Nice Solid Steel mix to start the year with DJ Kentaro.
DJ Kentaro is a Hip hop DJ from Japan. He came 3rd in the Technics DMC World DJ Final in 2001 and won it in 2002 at the age of 20. In doing so, he became one of the first ever Asians to win the DMC World DJ Final, receiving the highest score in DMC history in the process.
He was signed to Ninja Tune independent record label and released a Solid Steel DJ mix album in September 2005, entitled On The Wheels of Solid Steel. The tracks on the album come exclusively from Ninja Tune’s back catalogue.

zerocool said "not what i was expecting!"
The almighty Dj Kentaro…what a shame, i expected more from him, hence why i gave a bad review, as the sets i have heard in the opast have been a blessing for the ears, with some heavy mixing, tight tracks and eclectic selection. this for me…was a little dry.
osky said "great first Solid Steel show of the year"
I really enjoyed this show!! great and unexpected tracks inside
thanks for the upload bronte
zerocool,I understand your point of view, it is not DJ Kentaro as we usually listen to.In this set his music is smoother,
and words from ninjatune.net explain it:
“We kick off 2008 in style (4th January) with our very own king of the turntables, DJ Kentaro under a different name and a different musical persona. He also DJs as ‘KEM DJ’ – the name KEM coming from the japanese for ‘kemuri’ meaning smoke – playing, as the name goes, a smokey set of beats carefully picked for the occasion. In the pot, we have DJ Krush, moonstarr, Fourtet and Shawn lee’s ping pong orchestra.”

i think it is absolutely amazing. Does somebody know who sings the “sixteen tons” version near the end of the mix? It’s not in the tracklist.
