Almost in order to prove that rumours of the death of genu­ine, good qual­ity music retail­ers in this coun­try have been greatly exag­ger­ated, on Novem­ber 6 Wel­ling­ton will have a new spe­cial­ist music retail store. Samurai Store will be the retail exten­sion to the long stand­ing Samurai Dis­tri­bu­tion and the recently estab­lished ‘Samurai Music’ record label.

Owned and oper­ated by Geoff Wright (aka DJ Pre­sha) with the assist­ance of Darryl McGown (aka D Dog from ‘Bass Fron­ti­ers’), Samurai Store will spe­cial­ise in Drum and Bass, Dub­step, and Breaks vinyl, CDs, and a rage of related mer­chand­ise. The store will also be stock­ing oth­er forms of elec­tron­ic music and selling event tick­ets.

Wel­ling­ton has not had a spe­cial­ist store like this for many years, and with the know­ledge and com­bined busi­ness exper­i­ence going into the cre­ation of this vinyl buy­ers para­dise, Samurai Store will be an excit­ing addi­tion to the cap­it­al city’s music retail entit­ies.
