SUMMARY:Kid Koala
DESCRIPTION:At some point the DJ replaced the guitarist as the supreme
  pop virtuoso, whose quick-fingered skills served both musical and the
 atrical functions. Eventually there arose a school of superspinners --
  Invisibl Skratch Piklz, DJ Shadow, and the X-Ecutioners chief among t
 hem -- with such extraordinary powers of pastiche that no band or rapp
 er could ever keep up with them. But this diminutive Chinese-Canadian 
 (né Eric San) made a splash with a lighthearted approach and a genius
  for comic samples that obscured tremendous chops on the decks.

C
 arpal Tunnel Syndrome, released after well-received singles and guest 
 spots with Coldcut and on Handsome Boy Modeling School (and an opening
  gig with the Beastie Boys), is a tour de force of the turntable art, 
 though performed with a rare focus and flair that makes it one of the 
 few DJ-only discs that can be listened to and enjoyed by nonspecialist
 s. Kid churns through libraries of bebop and funk sam-ples, though you
  barely notice the sleight of hand because of the constant streams of 
 hilarious vocal appropriations, from the stuttering Revenge of the Ner
 ds dialogue scratched on \"Nerdball\" to the Mad magazine–esque bad 
 date scenario that emerges from a quilt of samples in \"Barhopper\" Pa
 rts 1 and 2. After more big guest spots -- Deltron 3030, Gorillaz, ope
 ning for Radiohead -- Kid released an album of gorgeous P-Funk–style
  grooves with his long-running group, Bullfrog. It's a fun and seamles
 s blend of band and DJ -- a little too seamless, actually, as Kid Koal
 a's contributions are invisible on all but a few tracks. In early 2003
  Kid released the first of several planned book/CD projects, Nufonia M
 ust Fall, a 300-page cartoon novel about a robot who falls in love wit
 h a human girl (he makes her a killer mix, what else?), with a brief a
 ccompanying keyboard/turntable soundtrack. Some of My Best Friends con
 tinues with the Kid Koala formula of lighthearted comedy and jazz samp
 les. Nothing special there, but the accompanying comic book and short 
 video are adorable vignettes about the DJ lifestyle -- scratching, sam
 pling, digging in the crates like kids playing in sandboxes -- and off
 er something that is absent from music made entirely of samples and sp
 lices: a fun narrative.\n\nFor more information visit https://trueskoo
