Japanese electronica artist DJ Krush turned in one of his most consistent releases with 2001's ZEN. Specializing in mid-tempo instrumental hip-hop, with layers of textured noise and ambient breakbeats, Krush is the sort of DJ who can create a whole universe on his own. But ZEN boasts no shortage of guest collaborations. ?uestlove and Black Thought from the Roots, Zap Mama, Company Flow, and percussionist Tunde Ayanyemi all make an appearance, and Krush does a magnificent job of blending the electronic and organic elements into a fresh, postmodern listening experience.
