Shinichiro Yokota, born in Tokyo in 1969, is a pioneering figure in Japanese house music. Influenced by electronic luminaries like Yellow Magic Orchestra and Kraftwerk, he co-founded Far East Recording with Soichi Terada in 1990. Their 1992 release, "Far East Recording," introduced a unique blend of downtempo, deep house, and tech house. After a hiatus, Yokota returned in 2016 with "Do It Again and Again," a compilation of unreleased 1990s tracks and new material. His minimalist style, emphasizing beats, bass, and vocals, continues to inspire and shape the global house music scene.
