Samurais Music / The first CD release project for Samurai Music, ‘Way of The Samurai’ presents a panoramic vision of global drum and bass music circa 2009 (IN SUPER JEWEL CASE UNMIXED). 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 Bass, 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 TheSamurai’ 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 graphicartist RQ. ‘Way of The Samurai’ - music to shape the future.1 State Of Mind & Trei - True Stories 2 Klute - Divinity3 Stress Level, Ant TC1, & Julen - Revelations4 Hobzee & Zyon Base - 1000 Paper Cranes5 Luca - Speakeasy6 Mosus & Zero T - Carbon Black7 State Of Mind - Deadeye8 Dose & Menace - Pick Up9 The Upbeats - SFX10 Soul Intent - Hysteria11 Trei & Dose - Empty Handed12 The Upbeats - The Weka
