ARTIST INFORMATION
ken hayakawa
LABEL/NETWORK Gigolo, MGF, Schönbrunner Techno
LOCATION Vienna
PARTICIPATION AT SOUND:FRAME DJ
When Ken Hayakawa bought two turntables he delved deep into electronic music. In 2004, he moved to vienna. Besides his regular dj gigs (e.g. at flex) he there mainly focused on producing activity, initially only with one computer and a fistful of plug-ins, later with constantly upgraded equipment (his technological know-how being of great use).
Ken’s music is marked by a melodic minimalistic style.
While earlier productions were clearly caracterized by atmospheric spirit, a strong tendency towards clubfloor has recently become evident.
Beats are straighter and more present, arrangements clearer and more trendy – without anyhow forgetting the precision of sounds on top, behind and beside.
After a long and meticulous work in his home studio, the first releases are to be issued (by vekton musik, flexschallplatten, liga elektronica, estrela recordings, musik gewinnt freunde, kaato, flash digital, techsound columbia, ...) – and they will certainly not be the last ones.
