Biography

Internet, radio, and nightclub DJ, event promoter, record label owner and artist mentor, Geoff Wright aka DJ Presha’s list of accomplishments and roles within the music industry are immense. Even more impressive is that he has been a forerunner in each of these disciplines, firmly entrenching himself within the sonic architecture of drum and bass culture worldwide.

Through his Samurai Music / Samurai Red Seal record labels, his many radio shows over the years, club sets, & events promotion companies, Presha has served as a guiding hand in the growth and development of the New Zealand scene and has assisted heavily in establishing the International export of artists such as Tokyo Prose, State of Mind, Trei, and Dose amongst others.

2011 saw an indefinite relocation to Europe for Presha, a move essential to the growth and longevity of both the Samurai Music labels and his devotion to the art of Drum and Bass DJing. 2012 was the busiest year to date for the Samurai Music group with high profile releases from the artist stable including Calibre, Klute, Marcus Intalex, Dub Phizix & Skeptical, Loxy & Resound, ASC, Nymfo, Tokyo Prose, Fis, Clarity and many more.

Ex-speed metal vocalist, old-school skateboarding aficionado, Japanese art enthusiast and lifelong cross- genre music lover, Presha has DJed extensively across New Zealand, Australia, Europe, Japan and America alongside top International drum and bass talent such as Klute, Calibre, Marcus Intalex, Doc Scott, and more recently for A Bunch Of Cuts & Soulu:tion and his own Samurai Music Label Nights.
