“Unity 12th Anniversary Handover Party ft. Ken Ishii”


不經不覺香港回歸早國已踏入十二周年，這些年來，我們經歷過金融危機，H1N1 爆發，但願我們能一起告別以往的不愉快經歷，以樂觀的心情去迎接經濟復甦的來臨。


今年的 Unity 十二周年回歸派對，我們請來了日本Techno界國寶級人馬Ken Ishii，我們現邀請各位在6月30日晚上一起慶祝這個回歸紀念日。
 

Ken Ishii:
 

1993年，Ken Ishii在比利時傳奇性Techno廠牌 R&S Records推出首張EP。之後，單曲更曾經贏得英國NME雜誌Techno Chart的第一位，而開始被世界各地的樂迷認識。1995年，他出版了首張專輯 “Jelly Tones”，並得到高度評價。在緊接的一年，“Jelly Tone”其中一首主打作品“Extra”交由曾為著名動畫“亞基拉”作導演的森本晃司製作音樂短片，並為他在MTV Europe Awards中贏得“全年最佳跳舞音樂短片”的獎項。從此，他的創作便被視為能達到國際水平，使成為日本Techno界的先鋒之一。

 

1998年，Ken Ishii為在日本長野舉行的冬季奧運會創作主題曲，並在全球超過70個國家的大氣電波中播放。2000年，他更成為“Newsweek”雜誌的封面人物，並被形容為日本新文化的代表人物。同年，他為日本著名電影“Whiteout”編寫電影配樂，令他在Japanese Academy Awards得到提名。2002年，Ken Ishii創立他自己的音樂品牌“70 Drums”，並出版了“Future in Light”這張專題。
 

近年，Ken Ishii有三分之二的時間在歐洲、亞洲、美洲及大洋洲作巡迴演出。2004年，他更成為在Ibiza舉辦的“Dance Music Awards”最佳Techno DJ的得主。証明了他是在Techno領域中最有天分的DJ之一。他更曾經為在日本舉行的世界博覽會作音樂總監。2006年11月，Ken Ishii更發表了他的原創專輯“Sunriser”。到目前為止，他仍然繼續以FLR的身份，發表他舞池化的作品。

Biography
Ken debuted on a legendary Belgian techno label, R & S Records, in 1993. Then he won  No.1 on the UK’s NME magazine’s techno chart which led him to worldwide recognition. In 1995, the highly praised album "Jelly Tones" (R & S / Sony) was released. In the following year, the video clip for the single "Extra" from the "Jelly Tones" album (directed by Koji Morimoto, the animator of the worldwide hit cartoon, "Akira") won MTV Europe's "Dance Video of the Year" award. Since then, Ken has been regarded as one of the Japanese pioneers whose creation is on a world standard.

In 1998, Ken composed and produced the official theme song for the winter Olympics which took place in Nagano, Japan and it was played in more than 70 countries around the world. Then in 2000, Ken was on the cover of "Newsweek" magazine, featured as a symbol of the Japanese new culture. Also in the same year, he composed the theme song and soundtracks for the mega hit Japanese film, "Whiteout", which led him to a nomination for Japanese Academy Awards. Then in 2002, Ken finally set up his own label, 70 Drums, and released an album “Future In Light.”

These days, Ken spends 2/3 of his time in Europe, Asia, North and South America and Oceania DJing and working as a true international artist. In 2004, he was awarded the best techno DJ at "Dance Music Awards" in Ibiza, Spain, proving himself to be one of the world’s most talented DJs in the scene. Last year, he was in charge of the music for Japanese Government's Seto-Nippon Pavilion at World Expo, held in Aichi, Japan. In November, 2006, he released an original album "SUNRISER". He has also been continuously releasing on his side project, FLR, focusing on the dance floor.
