In your face!
Hello, DJ Krush, and welcome to Slovenia. Hello.
Hello. I’ve read that you decided to become a Hip Hip musician
when you watched the movie Wild Style. Which aspect of this culture inspired you
so much that you wished to become a part of it and to produce music?
I saw everything that was screened for the first time. Breakdance, graffiti ...
I had no idea that it was possible to create such beautiful art with a spray can.
Or the DJs using two gramophones and talk into the microphone.
I found it amazing, I was overwhelmed.
When I was younger I used to play drums and I wanted to become a musician.
When I become a DJ, music became my profession.
When you started to DJ and entered the scene, was
the name DJ Krush your first idea and why?
A long time ago, when my brother and I were DJs in Tokio,
foreign MC rappers used to live there and we were working with them.
Back then we didn’t have artistic names so we were asked to choose them.
We were told that we were a bit crazy so the name Crash and *** came up.
They said that it sounded good or something.
Crash is written with a C, C-R-A-S-H,
but I didn’t find it really cool, so I changed the C into K.
Which moments of your career are the most significant four you and
who are the people that you appreciate the most?
I never finished primary schooling. It s obligatory in Japan,
but I was often absent from school. I didn’t like to study, but I adored music.
My desire was to be able to make people happy through music and so
I insisted. And so my desire became my profession, I give music to people
who come to my performances, it makes me happy and is important to me.
If we cannot communicate with words, we can do it through music.
I can reach people through their hearts.
I am very grateful that I am a DJ.
Do you intent to dedicate all your life to music?
Yes. I’m 50 years old. How old are you? 25.
Like my oldest daughter. Now she’s married and a mother. I have grandchildren.
I’ve been in this business only for 20 years, I want to stay for another 30 or 40 years.
I’m going to be there as a DJ. I intent to keep working for a long time.
Thank you for your time. Thank you.
I can’t wait to listen to you deejaying.
Good evening, I am DJ Krush.
I am here. Listeners from Europe, peace.
