SAMA at Motion, Bristol [24.07.21]

Hi everyone, 

here's my set at Free Your Mind Festival 2022! I had the honour to play just before the golden hour slot on a massive stage under a bridge, the sun was beaming and dust was flying everywhere, which was absolutely magical. For this reason I also felt going a bit happier with a bit more vocals than I normally do, mostly towards the second half of my set. I hope you'll enjoy <3

SAMA at Free Your Mind Festival, Arnhem [04.06.22]

Hey everyone, 

here's a new set by me, fresh from 909 festival. High-energy vocal-heavy festival vibes while still trying to keep my signature darker and driving flavour. When playing this set I thought it was quite a chaotic set, but to be honest it's just a fucking bop. So I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!

Much love,

S

Nine months after the well received MXMN002, SAMA is back on his own imprint with his third release. 4 tracks, all centered around a general theme; each track consists of textural soundscapes and heavy growl-like sounds, but with vastly different flavours.

Whereas “There’s Not A lot To Say” is the most subdued and atmospheric track, “Benefit The Masses” is the more in-your-face track, driven by a heavy broken-beat kick pattern.
On the B-side, “Fragments Of Distrust” is a more tribal and groovy track, and to top it off “Gentle Reminder” is the most driving track, with a forward-pushing locked groove. Long story short: there should be a track in there for everyone’s needs.

As with the first two releases, the artwork is painted by Argentinian artist Ric Santesteban.

OECUS Premiere | SAMA - Fragments Of Distrust [MXMN003]

Hey peeps,

here's my 3-hour closing set at ORPHIC. This was a really special one for me as I've been going to the Orphic parties quite a bit. From the first time visiting I wanted to play here. The crowd and vibe at these parties is zero to none, and the organisation is a lovely group of people with a very community-based mindset. 

I wanted to do something special, and I think you can hear that in this set. It's a very hypnotic and heavy set, ranging from very emotive to heavy dark tracks, with a lot of layering going on. There's a few small moments that are slightly messy as I was constantly playing with multiple decks at once, but that makes it human ;). The recording cut out at 2:50:00, so I edited the last few tracks in to ensure a safe landing after 3 hours. 

Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did playing this.

Much love,

S

SAMA closing set at ORPHIC, Amsterdam [03.12.23]

Vera and I met as residents at our beloved Club Basis and quickly found out Vera was moving in a similar direction as I did a few years ago. Since we both originally came from different backgrounds, the connection felt extra strong. This called for a B2B. The synergy was even more intense than we expected, turning into a three-hour journey of layering and going deeper and deeper, slowly building to a heavy and dark crescendo. I personally don't think I've ever built up a set this perfectly, and this can only really be attributed to the incredible chemistry we had here.

We’re so excited about the outcome, that we decided to share the set, and we sincerely hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did playing this.

Tracklist: Impossible. Just send a message or reply to the set, and we'll do our best to give the track ID <3

BASIS RESIDENT PODCAST: SAMA

It has been a while! SAMA is back on his label Maximalist_Minimalist after 1,5 years of silence. This time it's 3 hard-hitting and functional tracks, all heavily played and road-tested by a small handful of artists over the course of the last year.

The fourth EP in the "MXMN" catalog starts off with "Concentrado". A driving groove and a big focus on the tight and crispy drums take you by the hand before introducing an angry bass that takes you out of the functional, into the emotional. The second track "Particularity" does justice to its name with a particular and playful-but-heavy groove, while the spaced out synths, almost breathing percussion and eerie atmospherics try to pull you in. Finishing it off, "I Might've Misunderstood" is the least menacing of the three, but nonetheless a powerful track with tight drums, SAMA-esque bass growls and a thin metallic lead tip-toeing throughout.

The artwork, just like all previous artworks, was painted by Ric Santesteban.

SAMA's set for the last edition blew us off our socks. It was deep, emotive and captivating and kept the dancefloor going like there was no tomorrow. Finally you're able to relive that moment. Enjoy the ride!

SAMA - Particularity [Maximalist_Minimalist]

"This set was heavily inspired by the set I played at Orphic on the 9th of February, not only because of the trackselection, but also in terms of the vibe I wanted to convey. Starting off quite minimalist and groovy, but steadily building towards heavier and more intense territory."
