Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Samrai

dj support from brackles and peverelist. samrai is a founding member of swing ting, a dj and production squad behind club nights of the same name in manchester. they have two 12inches to their name on fat city (head gone and creepin) as well as remixes for mosca, murlo and beneath. riddim trax is samrais first solo release. his riddims are deceptively simple fusions taking in a spectrum of soundsystem influences and uk dance music, including dancehall, soca, afrobeats and uk garage. the ep opens with the summery let it ride, featuring swing ting mc mr fox s vocal in classic singjay mode. instrumental version responsibility riddim follows, before the b-side plunges into more rugged territory with problematic riddim and the brutal concrete riddim.

the dba dubs series returns with a fresh tropical house roller from samrai backed by a remix from michigan resident james t. cotton. khadi brings together samrai s tough drums and ethereal sun-kissed fx with a helping of keys from an anonymous local collaborator. on the flip jtc, the artist behind dabrye, sound murderer and a host of other cult catalogues reinvents khadi as a detroit house stepper. manchester resident via the midlands, samrai makes up 50% of the swing ting production unit. he s released with distinguished labels such as keysound, niche & bump and uttu as well as collaborating with ruf dug, murlo, brackles & hyperdub s okzharp. his dj sets take in x-amount of styles, always system-friendly with an emphasis on the soulful side of things.

uttu drops some hype shit in the form of ruf dug & samrai plus remixes form hashman deejay and the legendary zanzibar chanel from down under!
