DJ Muro is one of Japan’s most prolific and well respected hip hop artists, a producer, a DJ, a designer and record store owner. Well known for digging for old records in order to (re)create new ones, he has been active since the late 80s when he formed a group with that other Japanese icon, DJ Krush.

His King Of Diggin’ mix tape series are the stuff of legends. Originally on tape and later on cd, the mixtapes collected rare funk, jazz and other styles as sampled in hip hop productions. This was all back in the days before entire label discographies could be downloaded at 1 mb/s via the web. The compilations were characterized by impeccable mixing, great selections and a true b-boy aesthetic.

DJ Muro is the undisputed king of Diggin' in Japan but respected globally.

Check out this true digger of obscure breaks and samples, rare funk, jazz and some other serious Afro funk nuggets when he tours Australia for the first time this March playing sets exclusively on 7” vinyl.
