Nujabes is a producer/DJ from Japan, but he also runs his own Shibuya record stores and founded/maintains multiple labels. Nujabes adds live instrumentation over his jazz-influenced samples -- such as Miles Davis, to craft his sound.
Nujabes rarely plays live shows, or gives interviews, yet sold over 20,000 copies independantly of his 2003 'Metaphorical Music' album in Japan, continuing his word-of-mouth legacy -- earning more popular appeal collaborating with the likes of Cyne, CL Smooth, and the hit anime Samurai Champloo.
Really accessible and tightly crafted, definite recommendation for the unfamiliar.
this is so good
