One of Japan's best DJs takes to the wheels of steel for about an hour of current Hip Hop, departing for his usual format of spinning the rarest of breaks. From the looks of the tracklist it's mostly a set based on the quality output of Stones Throw Records.
In addition to the mix, be sure to check out Muro's 2010 picture book "45 RPM Cover Museum". I think this is only available for ordering in one spot outside of Japan at a store called Dusty Groove. Here is their review of Muro's book by Dusty Groove:
"A totally great book for 7" collectors – especially if you dig unusual picture sleeves! The book was put together by DJ Muro – an artist we've come to love for his work on mixes and compilations, but who's also well-known for his massive record collection, too – one that's certainly informed his music, but which stands well enough on its own – as you'll see in the book! For the volume, Muro brought together rare 7" picture sleeve images – all in a full-color, 7" package that's just the size of a vintage 45 – so that flipping the pages is almost like sifting through a stack of singles. Most of the images are from rare Japanese and Asian pressings – which means that you'll see unusual covers for funk, soul, soundtrack, and other groovy music styles of the 70s and 80s. Some of the images are odd variations on the American LP covers, and others are completely unique – and together, they provide a fascinating visual document that's sure to please any collector of rare singles. Almost 250 pages, full color!"
