Jazztronik-SAMURAI

◆ Bandcamp: https://jazztronik.bandcamp.com/album/samurai-2

The best known worldwide hit tune of Jazztronik, SAMURAI.
It's been played in many genres, from House to Jazz to Hip hop, since it was released in 2004 up to the present day.
And this time, SAMURAI is released as a new vinyl version.

Not only the piano but also the chorus and the beats have been fully re-recorded, creating a version with even more groove than the original.
This single also includes two alternative versions on the B-side: "Samurai beats” with only the beats, and “Samurai piano” with only the piano.

The other big news about this 12inch is the jacket design, with the samurai character newly redrawn by internationally renowned manga creator Takashi Okazaki.

We are confident in the high quality of the finished product, both musically and visually.

After 22 years in the music scene, Jazztronik has begun to create music more actively than ever.
Please enjoy this special “SAMURAI” 12-inch single.
