As everyone knows, Denki Groove is Japan’s flagship techno duo.
One of its members, Takkyu Ishino, is also active as a DJ.
He released his first solo album, “DOVE LOVES DUB,” in 1995, and from around that time he reportedly became more proactive with his solo work.
He began performing not only in Japan but also abroad, and in 1998 he took the stage at Love Parade, once the largest outdoor techno music festival held in Germany.
He’s an artist who enjoys great popularity both at home and overseas.
Ghost in the ShellTakkyu Ishino2rank/position
This is the track used in the opening of the PlayStation game Ghost in the Shell, released in 1997.
Despite its simple style, it’s a cool piece that perfectly matches the game’s world.
Even though it doesn’t have lyrics or a clear melody, it somehow sticks in your head—an impressively memorable track.
It’s a song that really lets you feel the unique appeal of techno!
Chaos (Takkyu Ishino’s Denki an Dis Remix)Ishino Takkyu3rank/position
He is the composer for Denki Groove and is also active as a DJ.
Since the early days of Japan’s techno scene, he has continued to work and exert a wide-ranging, significant influence.
He has appeared on television and at major festivals like Fuji Rock, so he is already highly recognized without any need for recommendation.
Still, for those who “haven’t discovered him yet,” he is a must-listen—an overwhelmingly popular techno DJ who represents Japan.

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.
7th Tiger (Original Mix)Takkyu Ishino5rank/position
It’s an acid house track that uses an orchestra hit for the riff.
It’s one of the songs included on the album “Cruise,” which this article features extensively.
It has breaks, rave stabs, and some surprisingly standard timbres, yet it never feels generic.
That’s the charm of his work, isn’t it? It’s clean yet mysterious.
There’s also a sample from Moby’s “Go” in there!
Arek (Original Mix)Takkyu Ishino6rank/position
Frunk Muller, also known as Beroshima.
Takkyu Ishino’s album “Cruise,” released on his label Muller Records.
The ornate sound that Frunk Muller excels at, and the beautifully misty scenery he evokes, feel reflected in both Takkyu Ishino’s and his own sound in the context of releasing it on his label.
FebFour (Original Mix)Takkyu Ishino7rank/position
A minimal track.
I imagine it’s been played on the floor as well.
The vocal samples are finely chopped and scattered throughout.
Among them, there’s one particularly distinctive shout… That’s James Brown’s voice, right? Hearing it within minimal techno creates a strange sensation.
There’s no such label as “funky minimal,” but I think a lot of people would love this combination!
