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.
