KID KOALA: DJ/TURNTABLIST/MUSICIAN


KID KOALA, aka, Eric San, a Canadian DJ, Turntablisit, Musician, and Author of graphic novels and member of the alternative hip-hop group Deltron 3030 and The Slew, just released “12 BIT BLUES”. out Sep. 2012.  Koala is known for his unfathomable style of turntablism and his sense of humor. 
He basically takes prerecorded music and re-records it by manipulating sound, using phonograph turntables and a DJ mixer, creating a contemporary form of music, bringing it up to the next level

In this album Koala takes the music of the old Masters like Robert Johnson, and amps it up with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, along with many other artists/media and creates a somewhat Psychedelelic Blues Sound.  It is different, but an art form that is worth mentioning. The guy has talent, doing what he does, which may be appreciated by some, but probably not by the majority.  A couple other guys that are doing this type of art form;  ‘DJ Angelo’ and ‘Cut Chemist’,  more for sure, but as far as note worthy, these 2 are near the tops, along with ‘Kid Koala'.  Give it a spin, try something new, enjoy!.
