Foundation ft. Ken Ishii (JP)

Ken Ishii has been regarded internationally as one of the Japanese pioneers who can
create world-class electronic sounds. A symbol of the Japanese new culture, he was
awarded the Best Techno DJ at ‘Dance Music Awards’ in Ibiza Spain, proving himself
to be one of the world’s most talented DJ’s in the scene.

He debuted on a legendary Belgian techno label, R & S Records, in 1993. In that year
he straight won No.1 on the UK’s NME magazine’s techno chart, which led him to
worldwide recognition. In 1995, his highly praised first album ‘JELLY TONES’ (R & S /
Sony Japan) was released.

Ken set up his own label, 70 Drums, showcasing his futuristic vision and dedication to his musical roots of early Detroit techno. Everything he touches becomes a cult hit and he has lent his talents to producing music for films, earning him a Japanese Academy Awards nomination for monster hit film ‘Whiteout’ in 2000. His latest
project, Ken Ishii Presents Metropolitan Harmonic Formulas, features collaborations with various artists from different styles/genres and has been highly praised worldwide for its sophisticated sounds and diversity beyond techno.

Gary is one of those proverbial jack of all trades… you know the rest. When not writing about lifestyle and culture, he dabbles in photography, graphic design, plays four instruments and is a professional wearer of bowties. His greatest weakness: spending more money on clothes than he probably should. Find him across the social world as @grimlay
