DJ Krush had two major announcement the during the last coupe of days, one about his upcoming tour and one about a new album! So, let’s see the details:

As some shows were already announced back in December, we already knew that he will be touring Europe around April, but now the full schedule was released and it includes 17 shows across the continent. The tour will start in England on the 29th of March and will cross ten countries, excluding the northern and southern territories, but including pretty much everything else in-between.

And even though originally everyone supposed that he will be touring with Kiseki, his album from last June, now it was announced that he will release another album before the tour starts! The yet untitled album was originally also planned for last year and while Kiseki was all about the Japanese language, with each track featuring prominent local MCs, this one will be fully instrumental. It should be out in March, but no further details were announced at this point. I will update this post as soon as anything new comes up and let’s hope that even with this new release out he will be spinning a couple of tracks from the excellent Kiseki as well during the upcoming EU dates!

Updated (2018.03.05): The news about the upcoming album started to pour in, so, let’s see what we learned so far: the album, titled Cosmic Yard will be out on the 21st of March, it will feature twelve tracks and it will be available on both CD and vinyl. Also, it will feature a couple of guest artists, including Shuuzan Morita, a familiar face from the Jaku album and trumpeter Toshinori Kondo, who recorded the classic album Ki-Oku together with Krush back in 1996. And the EU tour will start earlier than planned as two shows in Russia were added to the schedule, both featuring Sibitt, one of the MCs from Kiseki.
