Teaser - 石野卓球

Takkyu Ishino is known mainly for being a member of electropop band Denki Groove, but in recent years he has moved into a second career as an in demand techno DJ and remixer, becoming well-known in Europe. Take a listen to Denki Groove's 1993 album Vitamin, and then compare it to Ishino's 1993 remix of Pizzicato Five's "Twiggy Twiggy," which reduces the song down to the chanted title words and a pulsing, evolving techno track. Ishino's techno expertise gives Vitamin its punch, but not its pop; on "Twiggy Twiggy" it's all him, making no concessions to the mainstream.
