Trei - Innuendo
 Samurai Music is proud to present its first full artist LP / CD to follow on from the successful 'Way Of The Samurai' compilation
INNUENDO is the debut album from emerging New Zealand drum and bass talent TREi. Deftly juxtaposing jump-up dance floor grooves with traditionalist melodic song-writing and the odd touch of Pop arrangement, INNUENDO’s divergent sonic landscape stays grounded through the common threads of decidedly futurist synthetic soundscapes and chest pounding, subwoofer rupturing low-slung bass lines.
Working with the likes of vocalists Lisa Tomlins and Thomas Oliver (of the Thomas Oliver Band) and fellow producer’s State of Mind, Dose, Teknik and Southern Soul, TREi has crafted a cohesive twelve song deep full-listening experience as much driven by hooks and general musicality as explosive drum and bass pressure.

Crash Bang Wallop! Logistics makes some noise
 Crash, bang, Wallop - what an album! The third album from Hospitals inexhaustible super hero Logistics whose distinct sound holds a unique combination of ear bending listening appeal and deep dancefloor impact.

Terror Danjah - Gremlinz (The Instrumentals 2003-2009)
 Terror Danjah isn’t a household name, he’s not as well known as Wiley or Dizzee Rascal, but he’s considered by the grime cognoscenti to be the best grime producer ever. In the words of Simon Reynolds: "Out of the handful of grime producers who’ve made some beats that work as stand-alone aesthetic objects - wiley, target, wonder, rapid from ruff sqwad - the undoubted ruler is terror danjah. He’s one of the great electronic artists to emerge in the first decade of the 21st century, a figure as influential as Ricardo Villalobos or Digital Mystikz."
And in the words of Wire Magazine, full page review for ‘Gremlinz’: "The material on ‘gremlinz’ is some of the most overtly opulent music ever to emerge from a down at heel producer. The lateral movement and luscious flavours have obvious parallels with the haywire synths of kode9 and joker, or the intricately wonky rhythms of rustie ..more |
