about

極東のインディペンデントレーベル・ILL EAST RECORDよりThe IllestのDJ KOTA MIX CD『DOWN and OUT blues』が遂に発信される。目を閉じて聞いて欲しい。大都市の汚れきった空気をありのままに落としこんだような選曲は、リスナーの脳裏に一つの街並みを想起させる内容だ。HIP HOPを軸としてBreak Beats、Jazz、Funk等、様々 なジャンルを織り交ぜレイドバックさせながらも、DJ KOTAの一貫したプレイはブレる事なく、芯の太い音を鼓膜へと届ける。CDを最後まで聞けばラストに仕掛けてあるメッセージを通して、KOTAがこの音源で何を伝えようとしているかが、自ずと分かる。Shoutは同レーベルの盟友、The Illestの道Tao、悪霊、親交の深いIsh-One、Sagga、EGO、そしてゲストにKEMUIを迎えビート上に都会の叙情詩を口ずさんでいる。The IllestのDADDY VEDA a.k.a Rebel Beatzバックアップの元に繊細かつ、ザラついた音質が路上の雑踏のように耳に訴えかけてくる。ビルの谷間で静かに、そして青白く灯るエモーショナルなMIX CDだ。
