Originally released in 2015, Sounds from the Far East brought long-overlooked gems from legendary Japanese house producer Soichi Terada—alongside Shinichiro Yokota and Manabu Nagayama—to a global audience. Compiled by Hunee, this essential double LP quickly found its way into the record bags and hearts of DJs and music lovers worldwide, reigniting international appreciation for Terada’s warm, playful, and deeply soulful sound.
A creative force with limitless curiosity, Soichi Terada grew up playing his father’s electric organ before studying Computer Science and Electronic Organ performance. In 1989, unable to find a home for his own compositions, he founded Far East Recording, paving the way for a distinctly Japanese take on early ’90s U.S. deep house. Inspired by the New York club scene as well as hip-hop and dance music emerging in the late ’80s, Terada embraced digital sampling and even performed DJ sets using DAT tapes and reel-to-reel machines—long before such experimentation became common.
Sounds from the Far East spotlights the golden era of Far East Recording releases from the early ’90s. Alongside Terada’s beloved productions, Hunee’s curation also includes standout tracks by Shinichiro Yokota, as well as the iconic “Sun Showered”—Terada and Nami Shimada’s 1991 reinterpretation of the Paradise Garage classic “Sunshower.”
