2002 DMC World Champion DJ Kentaro is the perfect DJ to produce a mix of the Ninja back catalogue for the Japanese market. A box full of vinyl and cds was sent off to him and he began piecing together a selection from Jaga, Wagon Christ, DJ Food, Coldcut, Pest, Funki Porcini, Herbaliser and DJ Vadim to create a truly masterful mix, 'DJ Kentaro on the Wheels of Solid Steel... The CD came out in Japan in December 2004 and has since sold 15,000 copies in the territory. However, word of Kentaro's lightning skills and musical ear have since spread way beyond Japan, with appearances at Fabric and Homelands (as well as Ninja's Solid Steel night) and we decided it was time to share his talents with the world. DVD: showcasing a mixture of live footage & animation ( 'visuscratched' by Kentaro).'

"DJ Kentaro may be a turntablist - a world-beating turntablist, in fact - but that doesn't mean that only spotty geezers in puffas and baseball caps need to look out for him. Because hip hop and scratching represent merely one side of Kentaro's multi-faceted musical persona." - IDJ

"More than just a technical DJ, Kentaro is a performer, inciting the crowd into a frenzy while titillating the scratch fetishists." - Blast
