Truancy Volume 312: Sami

Sami has been a DJ for the last two decades, throwing parties, releasing records, and building a community in Washington DC. He was pivotal in creating the underground event space Subterranean A, and co-founded the DC mega party ROAM. Alongside Joyce Lim and Dawit Eklund, he founded the label 1432 R and has produced music for Future Times, World Building, Rhythm Section, and Ghostly International. Additionally, he has created for Dreamcastmoe and jammed with the Lifted crew.

In addition to his music career, Sami is a journalist and Executive Producer of the largest afternoon news broadcast in radio, All Things Considered. He has received multiple awards for his work, including a Peabody, a Murrow, a World Press Photo Award, and a National Press Club Award. Among his accomplishments, Sami created a show with legendary DJs Stretch and Bobbito, served as editor of NPR's podcast about race, Code Switch, and covered elections, epidemics, insurrections, and music.

Sami's zeal for life and the people he encounters is boundless, fueling him in his pursuit of the perfect flute, hunting down an extra Marantz battery, or summoning the energy to create beats after a long workweek filled with storytelling. His love for music and his career are perfectly in sync, as he effortlessly balances them both. His latest record, Elevate, is a true testament to his musical prowess, featuring four tracks that pulse with energy and vitality. The tracks seamlessly blend elements of house and techno, all held together by an ever-evolving common thread.

HNYPOT 323: Special Guest DJ's In Search of Sunset Mix

Apiento returns to World Building for another soulful journey! 
Hot on the heels of the smash "Things You Do For Love" seven inch.
"Down That Road" features the ultra smooth vocals of Los Angeles' Harriet Brown. An intimate London by L.A. via D.C. connection.  
Brown's contemplative lyrics meet Apiento's rainforest synths & massive low-end pressure. Patient dancers are rewarded half-way w/ a dope sunrise acid bass. Serious smiley face biz! Multiple mixes (w/ a trippy ambient dub & a cute padapella), you know how we do. Ending 2019 the same way we started w/ another one from bad man Apiento!
