Slam Radio #102 – KEN ISHII

Ken-Ishii-Live

One of the most innovative and experimental composers who have made a mark on the International dance scene. Ken Ishii started making his version of 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 Richie Hawtin, Dave Clarke, Luke Slater, Thomas Schumacher and many more. He has since been touring intensively throughout Europe, Asia and America sharing stages with the world’s best.

Freebie Friday: Weltzwei – Reflektor (Butane Remix)

Sometimes
not every great track gets picked up by a label. Butane took Weltzwei’s tune Reflektor, and has stayed true to the original leaving the gritty analog-esque bassline alone while adding classic 909 rides to give it a more mainroom feel. He’s been so kind as to offer this remix up for free on his Soundcloud.

Stay tuned every Friday for more free tracks and music giveaways from us.
