DJ Scotch Bonnet
Swapping GameBoys and 8-bit limitation for a hefty distortion unit, Ishihara delves deep into the world of bass-driven hip-hop breaks. dj scotch bonnet melds dense distorted beats with his signature pop sensibility, referencing Scorn, NHK, and the dance music culture of new home-town, Berlin. A maverick, crazed with energy and excess creativity, Ishihara's chance meeting with Kouhei Matsunaga spurred an isotopic explosion of activity and inspiration; the result was the new dope style distorted bass and beats of dj scotch bonnet. Ishihara is prolific in his output, and has collaborated with E-Da (ex Boredoms) in epic psychedelic outfit DRUM EYES; works with Bo Ningen's Taigen Kawabe, and Dokkebi Q's Gorgonn in dub distortion unit DEVILMAN, and also plays bass in newly reformed electronic pioneers, SEEFEEL. He has performed at major festivals including Roskilde, Glastonbury, and Primavera; and has shared bills with a diverse selection of artists including Devo, Lightning Bolt, and MF Doom.
