Lore of the Samurai is an alias — an undercover project from an established producer who wanted room to experiment away from their own name. The sound leans raw and club-first: underground and Chicago house pulled through electro, techno and breaks. The project surfaced on Amsterdam's Heist Recordings with the "Out the Door" EP (HEIST055) in 2021, a five-track run that moves across those influences rather than settling on one, and has since turned up across the label's remix and compilation work.
