Various Artists

The medium is the message! Vinyl has always been our preferred medium for releasing music and without this tactile form ofpresentation, Samurai Music would not continue in its current form. Vinyl is the ultimate personification of what the label wishes to represent. Music always comes first, but the vinyl artefact is king for us.

Hyaku is the 100th Vinyl release on the Samurai Music label. Through the many twists and turns of the industry in our almost 17 years of existence, the Samurai Music vinyl releases have maintained their aspiration for quality, unique design that stands thetest of time. Praise and thanks always to our long time designer Ryan Quinlivan and the many pressing plants we have worked with over the course of our label's lifespan.

To celebrate this milestone we have assembled a gang of producers that best represent the Samurai Music sound of now to contribute tracks that they feel best encapsulates their take on our sound. Hyaku is a mutable mix of vibrations that navigates from the searing ambient drift of Ancestral Voices all the way through to the headsdown assault of Dom and Roland. Singular takes that capture the artistry of this impressive crew of creators at their glistening best.

Finally we'd like to thank everyone who has ever and continues to support our vinyl releases. We are forever grateful!
