Takkyu Ishino’s classic and popular songs

PESCATORATakkyu Ishino

Takkyu Ishino – Pescatora (Galactik Pizza Delivery Vol. 1)

Unusually, this is an electro track that isn’t four-on-the-floor.

It was released by Ki/oon Records in 1998.

A tone like a signal occasionally rolls from head to tail, repeating while raising the pitch.

It’s in simple tracks like this that true exhilaration lives.

That’s the essence of techno.

You’ve stumbled upon a hidden gem!

Alles Nach NipponTakkyu Ishino

Takkyu Ishino – Alles nacht Nippon (1998)

A track from the album “Berlin Trax,” released in 1998 on the German techno label Low Spirit Recordings.

True to techno’s core principles, it features a distinctive lo-hi drum machine sound with a subtly distorted kick and industrial sample loops.

After the break drops, an organ riff comes in that feels somewhat ravey, with a Detroit techno-like texture that’s really satisfying.

Anna Letmein LetmeoutTakkyu Ishino

Takkyu Ishino – Anna – Letmein Letmeout (Christopher Just’s Remix)

A New Wave-style track released in 1999 on the UK label Exceptional, featuring a minimal arrangement that seems suited for the dance floor and distinctive vocoder work reminiscent of Kraftwerk.

It’s a cover of a song by the New Wave band Trio, and the arrangement—stripping away the original’s guitar sound, in other words all the rock and band elements, and steering it toward techno—is a masterpiece.

Kansai Electric Safety GrooveTakkyu Ishino

Takkyu Ishino of Denki Groove gets an update! An ultra-cool new web video

This track made waves for its collaboration with the Kansai Electrical Safety Inspection Association.

Takkyu Ishino has arranged that familiar phrase from the association’s TV commercials.

While it’s amusing, you can’t help but get hooked on how cool the sound is.

And the music video is surreal! It makes you want to watch it over and over.

By the way, the people appearing in it are said to be actual members of the association.

SpinOut (Original Mix)Takkyu Ishino

SpinOut (Original Mix)

The album “Cruise,” released on Muller Records, features a sound characteristic of Frank Muller’s label—he’s best known under the Beroshima moniker.

For his work, the tempo is relatively slow, and the percussion, shakers, and percussive timbres strip away any mechanical impression.

There are clear breaks and a solid sense of progression.

The frequent use of classic rave stabs will be irresistible for those who love that style.

Volunteer Ape Man (Disco) (Takyu Ishino Remix)Cornelius

Cornelius – Volunteer Ape Man (Disco) (Takkyu Ishino Remix)

This is a floor-ready remix of a track by Cornelius, the solo project of Keigo Oyamada.

It features freaky samples that sound like a monkey shouting and police sirens, creating a very uptempo vibe.

With few breaks and a straight-ahead structure, it’s perfect for peak-time.

The robot-like voice uses the legendary toy in the techno world, the Speak & Spell.

THE OVERTAKE

This commercial shows the 2000GT, the LFA, and the new GR GT each running on a track, highlighting their speed and power.

It’s a simple concept with nothing but the cars in motion, but that simplicity really conveys their confidence in performance.

The sense of speed expressed in the visuals is further emphasized by an original track by Takkyu Ishino.

While the piece is simple, with a brisk, insistent rhythm, the combination of tempo and tone also communicates a real sense of exhilaration.
