Japanese-born DJ Towa Tei first earned notice for his production work on 1989 LP Done by the Forces of Nature; the following year he shot to fame as a member of the downtown New York club trio , scoring an international hit with the classic "Groove Is in the Heart." After two LP's, 1990's World Clique and 1992's Infinity Within, Towa Tei left the group to begin working on solo projects; his debut LP Future Listening!, a montage of bossa nova, jazz and electronic dance music, appeared in 1995. His second album for Elektra, 1998's Sound Museum, was followed by Last Century Modern in 1999. TOWA TEI, celebrating the 30th anniversary of his musical career, has released his 10th studio album LP. As we all know, an LP is a 12-inch analog record, a sound storage medium that also happens to symbolize TOWA TEI’s journey as a musician.
