DJ Scotch Egg (born Shigeru Ishihara) is a Japanese producer of Chiptune / Gabber music based in Brighton, United Kingdom. Shige started out making improvised noise music, performing under the name Shiez 2000, and later contributed to a few little known groups including Megadrive, Noony Banoony, and The Fighting Seizure Robots Busking Crew. After moving to Brighton from Tokyo, he founded Brighton's premier breakcore/noise night [Music] with friends Henry Collins (aka Shitmat) and Matt (Roger Species). Collins took Shige under his wing, and convinced him to use his Game Boy to create gabber tracks.
As of 2006, he has released music on the Wrong Music label, Adaadat and is apparently signed to Lightning Bolt's Load Records (he was apparently offered this after Lightning Bolt was impressed by his music [1]). A new album entitled Scotch Hausen is due to be out in Spring 2007.
Occasionally when playing live, DJ Scotch Egg runs around the stage with his loudspeaker or microphone screaming gibberish, shouting obscenities or something related to Kentucky Fried Chicken. he usually ends the show by throwing scotch eggs at the audience.
Some of notable contributions with other artists include Ove-Naxx, Hrvatski, Mike Paradinas, Duracell, Bong-Ra, Germlin, The Pipettes and The Go! Team.
