Bio
‘Way of The Samurai’
presents a panoramic vision of
global drum and bass music
circa 2009.
The brainchild of
Internationally respected, New
Zealand-based drum and bass
pioneer Geoff Wright (DJ
Presha), ‘Way of The Samurai’
is an artfully curated
collection of progressive drum
and bass from New Zealand and
abroad. The album is a triumph
of musical depth and intensity
over the formulaic sounds
sometimes present in
commercial drum and bass. When
looked at holistically ‘Way of
The Samurai’ represents the
creative vision of Samurai
Music, as designed by DJ Presha.
Featuring exclusive material
from New Zealand drum and bass
producer’s State of Mind, The
Upbeats, Dose, Menace, Trei,
Luca and Mosus with equally
unique material from Europeans
Klute, Hobzee, Zyon Base, Zero
T, Soul Intent, Stress Level,
TC1 & Julen, ‘Way of The
Samurai’ traverses the full
gamut of drum and bass
flavours over the course of
its twelve track running
order. Be it the atmospheric
and upfront sounds of
‘Divinity’ by Klute, the
haunting and urgent cries of
‘SFX’ by The Upbeats, or the
almost cosmic tones of ‘Carbon
Black by Zero T & Mosus, the
common threads of quality and
diversity through this album
become quickly apparent, even
after the most cursory listen.
With global DJ support for
this release already coming in
from the likes of Doc Scott,
Klute, Break, Fierce,
Friction, State Of Mind, The
Upbeats, Bulletproof, Concord
Dawn and many others, ‘Way of
The Samurai’ is shaping up to
be an essential 2009 LP/CD
purchase for drum and bass
enthusiasts across the planet.
The icing on the cake - the
beautifully designed,
full-colour, Japanese-style
LP/CD sleeve artwork designed
by Samurai Music’s favourite
graphic artist RQ.
‘Way of The Samurai’ - music
to shape the future. |
