Ken Ishii - Scapegoat
Ken Ishii - Disturbance
Ken Ishii - Prankster


Ken Ishii is a true techno legend. His groundbreaking releases on R&S Records in the '90s placed him firmly at the forefront of the scene from the very beginning. He’s also been a longtime fan of SWAY, supporting our releases and playing them out over the years, so it’s a real honor to now have him on the label.

This release features three seriously funky power techno grooves. The title track Scapegoat is instantly gripping, steadily building with clever effects and a relentless drive. Disturbance follows, equally funky, but just wait until that ultra-fat lead sound drops and takes things to the next level. We wrap it up with Prankster, a track that’s all about the bassline.

We’re proud to be a part of Ken Ishii’s journey and to welcome him to the SWAY family.
