DJ Scotch Egg - Stepping it up for 2007
We thought it was about time we officially welcomed the notorious rave ringmaster and general troublemaker DJ Scotch Egg to the Littlebig ranks!
The Egg is a long term Overkill collaborator who left a blazing trail around Europe on the recent tour, the same on a recent Japan tour, he has another tour with trencher in April, 2 awsome albums just about to drop and a packed diary full of club & festival dates around the world.
Contempary composer or comedian, punk or intellectual, madman or genius. There are many mysteries surrounding the bearded nomad otherwise known as Shigeru Ishihara. One thing however, can be guarunteed. This man can take a rave and flip it on its head, spin it back to the Reneissance period then drop kick it way into the future.
For the past few years he has been tearing up soundsystems worldwide with nothing but a pair of Gameboys, a mic and a distortion pedal. Far from this minimal setup being a hinderance, this combination of lo-fi electronics, technical wizardry, and a KFC bucket-sized portion of raw musical talent has resulted in some of the freshest and most innovative music around.
Expect to see some select festival shows this year with his new project, involving multiple drummers poached from bands Trencher, I'm Being Good and Charlottefield. Check out the Scotchausen video here, produced by Nothing To See Here and directed by Steve Glashier, supporting the release of his second album Scotchausen due on Adaadat, Very Friendly and Wrong Music imminently. With releases also due on Load Records and a hectic live schedule, the 8-bit attack steps up a level for 2007!
