Sam’s first appearance on Toy Tonics was 2 years ago. Sam came up with the Sport House EP. Here he revealed his very own way of making music: he plays synths, keyboards, knows about chords and makes a type of organic house music with lots of saxophones, great jazz chords, based on southern rhythms.
Sam’s house music reminds the more Balearic vibes from the 1980ies or the early disco house vibes. Some might call it organic. And yes, it’s house, it’s 4 to the floor, but he got that special human, handmade vibe that people look for today… after the overdose of digital music of the last 10 years this new way of making dance music might be the perfect mix between analogue and digital.
Sam already released an EP with Italian disco last year. In case you don’t know Sam’s key track please check out Danza Organica from his last EP Italianissimo: This one has been hammered by DJs all over the world over the last months: Gerd Janson, Perel, Job Jobse, DJ Tennis, Solomun… You can hear it on festivals all over the world this summer.
