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.

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.
