Dj Scotch Bonnet (aka dj scotch egg)

dj scotch bonnet is the new solo project of Shigeru Ishihara, aka DJ Scotch Egg.  
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.

and has shared bills with a diverse selection of artists including Devo, Lightning Bolt, and MF Doom.
