Ken Ishii
One of the most innovative and experimental composers who have made a mark on the International dance scene. Ken Ishii started making his version techno at a time when Japan was not yet at the crossroads where all things techno came together.
Already putting out tracks on the cult label R&S since ’94, Ken’s sound soon broke out of the confines of a specialist audience and took the world by storm, receiving support from world class artists such as Dave Clarke, Luke Slater, Thomas Schumacher and many more.He has since been touring Intensively throughout Europe, Asia and America. His fourthcoming album-Future In Light- will have his take on the sound of Detroit, showing the world the new sound of Ken Ishii.
