Review: DJ Kentaro's Prime Cuts

On his third time back to Beijing, Japan's DJ Kentaro made a superb showing of his DMC World Champion skills at Mix Thursday night (Mar 26). His hour-and-a-half set started at midnight with quickly paced techno, climaxed on drum & bass, then cooled out on hip-hop à la DJ Premier.

Check out our interview with the man himself here. See more photos from the show below ...
