ôWhat begins as a random walk often
ends up taking you somewhere, somewhere
that you later realise was exactly
where you wanted to go. Little
decisions made invisibly every minute,
and the cumulative effect, and the
often unspoken principles that have
guided them, define what appears to be,
in retrospect, a conscious plan, with
an emotional centre and compass.David
Byrne
Since signing to Samurai Music, Sam
Reed aka Tokyo Prose has released music
across all 3 Samurai Music Group
labels, as well as Hospital Records and
Sun & Bass Recordings. Each one of
these releases has been a musical
stepping stone leading to this his
debut album 'Presence'.
'Presence' marks the culmination of
SamÆs musical exploration and evolution
thus far, as well as the vision of
Geoff Presha, head of Samurai Music,
who signed Tokyo Prose (then a duo) on
the strength of their promise and
potential in 2008 after hearing the
first Tokyo Prose demo's.
'Presence' features dazzling solo works
as well as a stellar ensemble of
collaborative artists that includes
Lenzman, Synkro, LSB, DRS, Riya, Fox &
more.
'Presence' perfectly encapsulates the
soulful, emotive vibrancy of the Tokyo
Prose sound, now fully formed and
refined. It is a sound that has
captivated people across the globe
since the Introducing Tokyo Prose EP in
2011 and one that has left them
clamouring for more with each release
since.
Presence is when you're no longer
waiting for the next moment, believing
that the next moment will be more
fulfilling than this one. Eckhart Tolle
Samurai Music Group is proud to release
'Presence' to the world, not simply as
a showcase of Tokyo Prose or even NZ
Drum & Bass, but rather as one of the
finest examples of what Drum & Bass can
be today.
