For those in the know, the name Soichi Terada conjures memories of 90s house records that graced the iconic Far East Recording imprint, co-founded alongside Shinichiro Yokota. However, many were introduced to Terada’s eclectic musical universe through a different avenue: the Sony Playstation.
During the same era of his house music endeavors, Terada delved into the world of video game scoring, particularly notable for his contributions to the soundtrack of the 1999 game “Ape Escape”. Now, with the release of the EP “Apes In The Net”, Terada’s electrifying game scores receive their first official release in America, giving listeners a taste of his foray into the realms of jungle and drum and bass.
“Apes In The Net” offers a glimpse into Terada’s exploration of rave-ready sounds, a departure from the soulful tunes often associated with his solo work. Tracks like ‘Spectors Factory’ seamlessly fuse techno elements with an undeniable grace, while ‘Mount Amazing 2’ paints a technicolor sonic landscape that transports listeners to another realm.
With this EP, Terada not only celebrates his contributions to the gaming world but also showcases his versatility as a producer and composer. “Apes In The Net” serves as a vibrant testament to Terada’s enduring influence on electronic music, bridging the gap between retro gaming nostalgia and contemporary dancefloor vibes.
