本名コウノ・シンイチロウ。2001年以降、都内の各クラブでDJとしてミニマルハウス/テクノをプレイ。トラック制作をスタートさせてまだ間もない2006年、Cabanne主宰のレーベルMinibar(FR)から [Kimidori EP] でデビュー。トラックメイカーとしてのキャリアの浅さは全く感じさせないミニマルで豊かなグルーヴ、柔らかなテクスチャーはリリース後瞬く間に多くのDJから注視を集めた。以後Microcosm (US)、Goosehound (US)、Safari Electronique (UK)、Kalimari (CA)といったレーベル群から目覚ましいリリース群を重ねる。
2007年8月にはop.disc (JP) から先行シングル [precede me ep] に続き、1stアルバム「ditch weed」をリリース。
その自由な発想、ユニークで鮮やかなサウンドには今後のさらなる飛躍を予感させる。
Ditch, aka Shinichiro Kono, is a Japanese producer whocurrently resides in Sendai, Japan. He's been DJing minimal house/techno at various clubs since 2001, but it wasn't until 2005 that he began producing his own tracks that are aimed not only for the dancefloor but also for alternative listening environments. One of his great musical abilities is that he can go in several musical directions with retaining his strong character and this is a remarkable achievement for someone who has been making music for such a short time. This point has helped him to earn the respect of numerous labels over the world, such as Minibar (FR), Safari Electronique (UK), Microcosm (US), Goosehound (US), Kalimari (CA), and op.disc (JP)
