Joakim on Samurai: This is a very personal record. I tried to channel the emotions and spontaneity I had when I first started making music. Its not about nostalgia, its about the freshness and directness call it naivety you lose when you start becoming a professional musician. I moved to New York almost 5 years ago. These past few years have been a weird combination of excitement and quite challenging events. Ive learnt what it means to be exiled, in every sense. This album is about that, being far away from home and from yourself and finding your way back. The album is built like an unknown city, you walk through it, making random turns, getting lost, some corners may bring back memories, you’re getting away from something and at the same time youre on a quest. Hence the importance of listening to it in its entirety (yes, Im a utopian). It will be the only physical release, very limited. No CD edition. Producer, D.J., label manager, tireless gem searcher, musician, music lover, its hard to reduce Joakim to a single function Xavier Veilhan, French artist et sculptor Tall lanky weird dude who makes great music
