Okay, a year old, but new to me: Japanese turntablist DJ Baku's "Akbah Attack": brilliant music, mesmerizing video.
DJ Baku on MySpace; interview at Tiny Mix Tapes; his new album Japadapta comes out in Japan next week.
Bonus over-the-top press release from last year:
[Speaking of Boom Boom Satellites, has anyone seen any vids to their songs? I can't listen to What Goes Around Comes Around or Moment I Count without craving a good action vid -- someone must have used them for a Matrix vid at some point, right?]

Bonus over-the-top press release from last year:
From Tokyo Japan, this amazing turntablist / producer is hands-down, DJ Krush's protege and has deep ties with DJ Kentaro, all the roughest Shinjuku freestyle MC's, and psycho-garage band Guitar Wolf. DJ Baku (pronounced "Bah-Koo") the rightful heir to the unique Japanese aesthetic of production, DJ'ing, turntablism started by Krush 20 years ago. "It's a perfect match for our digital-analog-dubplate vinyl slayer N2O Records imprint. Just this year we've been obliterating all- genres by pressing everything from Omar Rodriguez Lopez' Mars Volta solo projects to Indie Dubstep of 6BLOCC to Japanese Pop & Punk to hardcore Kingston Reggae to Mad Capsule Markets solo collabo's and the hyper-cool Tokyo electro-rockers Boom Boom Satellites. We are introducing the 'Mixture' sound to America from Japan and back with music and feature film anime collaborations," explains N2O Records label creator Nate "N8LOC" Shimizu, now at 130 records released in their mobile- suit mission to "break the genre binding" barriers. "We've been doing it for a decade, but now we can do it on a multi-lingual global Death-Note viral scale with ill-mech-warrior Japanese artists like DJ Baku and Uzumaki, mixed in with the Famima-fresh-factor big steps beyond mash-up," says N8LOC.

I like the idea of keeping my options open, and making occasional LJ-only or DW-only posts, though in practice I seem to have started cross-posting everything.
So if you want to defriend me on LJ to simplify your reading lists, feel free -- I'll let you know if you're missing anything. ;)
