Veteran turntablist and producer DJ Krush will make a rare UK appearance on February 1, 2013, to play a headline show at London’s Forum.

In recent years Krush has seen the moody, multi-textured brand of instrumental hip-hop that he developed in the 1990s inspire a new generation of producers, with Flying Lotus in particular citing him as a major early influence. The Japanese beatsmith rarely performs in the UK, but when he does, he invariably provides a masterclass in, as promoters Soundcrash put it, “layering, beat manipulation and generally ripping places to pieces in the best possible way.”

Support comes from Ninja Tune’s DJ Food, Anchorsong (live) and Mr Thing. For more information and tickets, click here.
