The medium is the message! Vinyl has always been our preferredmedium 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 torepresent. Music always comes first, but the vinyl artefact is king forus.

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

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

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