Posted: 18 Aug 2009, 6:05pmSubject: Samurai Music Presents Trei 'Innuendo' LP / CD / Digital
Samurai Music is proud to present it's first full artist LP / CD to follow on from the successful 'Way Of The Samurai' compilation
INNUENDO is the debut album from emerging New Zealand drum and bass talent TREi. Deftly juxtaposing jump-up dance floor grooves with traditionalist melodic song-writing and the odd touch of Pop arrangement, INNUENDO’s divergent sonic landscape stays grounded through the common threads of decidedly futurist synthetic soundscapes and chest pounding, subwoofer rupturing low-slung bass lines.
Working with the likes of vocalists Lisa Tomlins and Thomas Oliver (of the Thomas Oliver Band) and fellow producer’s State of Mind, Dose, Teknik and Southern Soul, TREi has crafted a cohesive twelve song deep full-listening experience as much driven by hooks and general musicality as explosive drum and bass pressure.
Delving into sample driven “Bristol Sound” recalling vibes on ‘Shame’, exploring infectious pop rock style hooks on ‘Lead Me On’ (a collaboration with rising New Zealand rock singer Thomas Oliver), roping in legendary local diva Lisa Tomlins to add a touch of the ethereal to his explosive grooves on ‘Still Remains’ and paying homage to the 90s techno scene on ‘Push’ (produced with Southern Soul), with INNUENDO, TREi makes his artistic intent crystal clear, in the process proving himself worthy of rank alongside the divergent upper echelons of talent within the international music community.
DJ Support already coming from some of the biggest names in the game including Pendulum, Friction, Ed Rush, Klute, London Electricity, High Contrast, Cyantific, Logistics, John B, Digital, State of Mind, Concord Dawn, Bulletproof, Chris SU and Jade.
Look out for the first Samurai Music / Trei music video for 'Lead Me On' feat Thomas Oliver to be released in early September across New Zealand (Thanks NZ On Air!)
