Compiled by Hunee, Sounds from the Far East features highly sought after material by legendary Japanese house producer Soichi Terada and fellow producers Shinichiro Yokota and Manabu Nagayama. The adventurous, multi-talented Soichi Terada was born in the '60s, and as a child he loved to play on his father's electric organ. Terada majored in computer science and electric organ and after he graduated, he founded his label Far East Recording in 1989, because he couldn't find a label for his compositions at that time. The sound of Far East Recording is very much inspired by American deep house from the early '90s. Soichi Terada went out to parties in the late '80s, where he was equally influenced by house and hip-hop. A few years later, Terada took on producing music by using digital sampling. In the early '90s he occasionally DJed with a DAT player and some reel tapes, instead of using records and turntables. Sounds from the Far East shines light on Soichi Terada's label and consists of material that was originally released in the early '90s. Next to Terada's music, Hunee also selected a few tracks by fellow artist Shinichiro Yokota for this compilation, as well as "Sun Showered," a track based on the incredible Paradise Garage gem called "Sunshower," by Terada and Nami Shimada.
