サウンドストリート出身の鄭東和氏はシングル『Groove Is In The Heart』で英国チャート１位米国チャート４位と云う輝かしい業績を残したDeee-Liteに在籍した。軽薄な音作りのなかにも緻密な計算が施され独自のグルーヴ感を生み出した。解散後はソロとしても活躍しているが、私としては彼のゲイシャ・ガールズとKOJI 1200/12000のプロデューサーとしての仕事を特に評価したい。

Mr. Towa Tei from Sound Street was in Deee-Lite which left sparkling achievement of U. K. chart #1 and U. S. chart #4 with the single "Groove Is In The Heart". They produced their own groove feel based on precise calculation while their sound is thin and light on the surface. I personally appreciate his works as producer for Geisha Girls and KOJI 1200/12000.
