The History of DJ Krush is pretty much exactly that: a three disc set of documentaries, live footage, and music videos from the longtime Tokyo recordman. Lavishly decorated with photos, liner notes by producer Noriko Asano, and extensive gig-and-discographies, the DVD set lands September 18 from Red Ink/Sony Japan.

Mos Def appears on the A-Un DVD, which collects footage of Krush from his early career through the mid-1990s. The second, Ko-no-Michi, follows Krush from 1995's Meiso LP through last year's world tour. DJ Shadow, Black Thought, Company Flow, Aesop Rock, C.L. Smooth, Mr. Lif, Sly & Robbie, and the Anticon crew are among the guests on the disc, which also sports Krush's first long interview and a Tokyo DJ set from last fall shot specifically for the DVD. The third disc, Clips, describes itself; tracklist for that one-- along with Krush's upcoming intercontinental tour dates-- after the jump.
