Various Artists - Hyaku | Hundred | [Samurai Music]

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

Hyaku is Samurai Music’s 100th vinyl release. Through the many industry twists and turns across our almost 17 years of existence, Samurai Music vinyl releases have maintained their aspiration for quality and unique design that stands the test of time. Kudos and thanks always to our long-standing designer, Ryan Quinlivan, and the many pressing plants we have worked with across the life of our label.

To celebrate this milestone, we have brought together a group of producers who best represent the current Samurai Music sound to contribute tracks that they feel best encapsulate their take on our sound.

Hyaku is a mutable mix of vibrations that navigates from the searing ambient drift of Ancestral Voices to the direct, hard-hitting assault of Dom and Roland. Singular interpretations that capture the mastery of this impressive group of creators at their very best.

Finally, we want to thank everyone who has ever and continues to support our vinyl releases. We are eternally grateful!
