This is simply the best dj mix ever put to digital format, precise, subtle, smart and simply beautiful. This is hip-hop at its core, the heart of tokyo, a living legend shows that you dont have to do a million crab scratches per hour to be a technical and powerful hip-hop dj. Every mix is flawless, and if you throw on a pair of headphones and listen, you will soon see that never have you heard a mix like this one, and all who own it after listening multiple times will hear small little subtle things krush does that you didnt realize last time you listened.. A true milestone and should have a place in every serious music fans collection....


I cant even do this one justice with any words I write, the CD is a canvas and Dj Krush has painted "the masterpeice".

this was the first krush album i purchased and it didn't dissapoint. original, creative, innovative, and everything in between. varying styles in each song yet the same 'krush' element stays the same, this album is for sure a must buy for any dj/hiphop/instrumental fan.

I can't believe I'm the first person to review this album! Truly one of the great mixes overall, and nearly the best by the venerable Krush... Keep 'em coming!

This album is quite simply the most breathtaking piece of art, in general, i have ever encountered. The soundscape of each track is unbelievable, each track always seems to blow me away EVERY SINGLE TIME. The impeccable production by this man, mixed with some brilliant track from other fantastic tracks, such as Jazzanova's 'Coffee Talk', make this album my all time favourite.
The darkness, and incredible emotion emitted by this album never ceases to amaze me. Try it. Listen to 'No More' in the dark by yourself, no distractions. It really is an amazing experience. I swear by this album, i listen to it at least once daily, and along with most other Krush works, it is a true masterpiece by a genius of our time. Simply incredible.

After playing through Code 4109, one thing should become very clear to any attentive listener, DJ Krush is a musical genius of our time. Don't be fooled by it's subdued and somewhat melancholy introductory songs, this CD is a 68-minute powerhouse of an album. Personally, Code 4109 is my favorite record from Krush. It has a more hard-lined hip-hop beat throughout compared to some of his other works, but where it's shines most is in Krush's selection of vinyl and odd samples... It can include everything from: rap tidbits, to off-the-wall female vocals, to full-on Japanese rap, to wildlife sounds, to Jazz, to traditional Japanese instrumentals, to dark samples of noises whose origins are unknown. Though it's extremely hard to choose, I would say that my favorite track is #18, "Beataholic Reformatory." This is one of the most creative and crazy tracks that Krush has ever conceived. If there has ever been an album that I'm able to play again and again and still hear new things, then Code 4109 is it. If some wierd circumstances forced me to buy this again, even if the price were in the 100 dollar range, I would still purchase it. (...)ESSENTIAL LISTENING FOR ANY HIP-HOP OR TRIP-HOP HEAD(...) buy this album at any cost.
