DJ
Ken ISHII Sparks Beijing Pop Festival Official Party
Japanese techno artist Ken Ishii is among the most innovative,
experimental composers in contemporary techno. Although working
in and drawing from a decidedly dancefloor-oriented, Detroit-derived

figures him as strongly deviant from Motor City aesthetic tradition.
Ishii's music is often praised by DJs who nonetheless refuse to
give his often challenging records much play. Ticket: presale
