Ken Ishii : Jelly Tones

In the mid-90s Ken Ishii rose to prominence with a futuristic sound rooted in Detroit’s machine soul yet unmistakably his own. Hailing from Sapporo, Ishii quickly became synonymous with futuristic, cutting-edge productions, and Jelly Tones – originally released in 1995 – was the breakthrough release that propelled the Japanese producer to global notoriety.

Reissued on vinyl for the first time since 2008, this 30-year anniversary edition celebrates the album’s lasting legacy and continued influence with the dynamic rhythms, crystalline synth textures, and sophisticated arrangements that set Ishii apart.
