//// BIOGRAPHY ////
Coming up through the Japan underground scene, at the age of 18 Akira Ishihara started DJ'ing and producing his own Techno tracks. It wasn't long before his skills were noticed, and soon after was releasing 12 inches on Techno labels such as "kiddaz.fm", "kazumi", and "SUBmissions".
From 2003-2004, he went on tour in Germany, and played at such places as "Electric Ballroom" at SO36 and at the legendary "Tresor club". He has since played in countries around the world, including Austria, Hong-Kong, Taiwan and China.
Having released many hard-techno tracks, he has become known for his heavy use of voice sampling along with a pumpin beat. His songs have been championed by DJs in clubs around the world.
"A-Inc" is his second project. He makes the sound of deep and minimal under this name. End of summer 2007, He got release offer from Jay Haze who is running "Contexterrior". First EP "Commodore Dub EP" was released by "Junion" October soon. This EP is supported by Ricardo Villalobos, Jay Haze and many DJs. It's good effect to get more release & remix offer. Some EP which include his remix was released. "Remix EP" by Kaufe Musik, "Ballet EP (Ryoh Mitomi’s solo)" by Immigrant.
After that, 2nd EP "Disorderly Forest EP" was released by "Afulab" (Thomas P Heckmann’s label). The strong groove developed from a unique and technical sound parts is played by a lot of famous DJ including Len Faki, Monika Kruze, and Richie Hawtin and enchants many club people all over the world.
The remix or compilation release from Germany, Italy, UK label is scheduled in the future. Of course, solo EP, too.

Gisele's album "2 Think" has been reviewed in the influential US based Music Magazine Skope, Jan/Feb 2009 edition. She's been chosen as a Sonicbids-A2W (Artist toWatch) -
REVIEW: " The other outlier is the multi-talented Gisele Scales from Sydney, Australia. A talented electronic violinist and vocalist, Gisele has been invading dance music circles all over the world. Her recent CD, 2 Think, gives dance music enthusiasts everything they could want: electronica, techno, rock, tango, world music, and breakbeat rhythms overlaid with her seductive pop vocals. But this isn’t just music for your party. Gisele’s “Green” is a statement about global warming and other eco-disasters. Both her “Can U Love 1 Another” with its gypsy violin and her “Armonia,” a world music-rich track, speak to global peace. Gisele Scales is definitely on the rise." - Janie Franz, Skope Magazine
