A Miami resident for four years, Sam was banging out his distinctive brand of bouncing house and techno beats up and down America’s east coast from 2015-2019.

Booked as support for legends including Terry Francis, Paolo Rocco, DJ Masda, Taimur, Javier Carballo, Jonas Rathsman, Jesse Perez, Anané Vega, Frits Wentink, Greg Wilson, Youngr, Bondax… the chap’s equally at home at 5pm round the sun-drenched pool as he is at 5am in the darkest smoke-filled warehouse found in Florida.

Playing some of Miami’s finest underground venues as well as the annual III Points festival, Sam also found himself whizzing up the east coast for turntable duties at the infamous Bushwick A/V afterhours in New York, as well as making several radio appearances on WVUM and Klangbox FM.

Now freshly residing back in London, Sam has began to push his own radio show This Is House, as well as flying out to Spain to look after the dancefloors there on the regular.


Growing up in the 90’s in Oxford, then home to one of the world’s finest stores Massive Records, Sam’s musical tastes were influenced by some of the most renowned and respected ears in dance music, with DJ’s from all corners of the globe phoning up to buy their records from the highly respected owners Jo and Simon.

Once his voice dropped he moved to Bristol and held down residencies across the city, as well as promoting the legendary and still ongoing Empathy with Whompy’s own Stuart Wilkinson – a night that saw him share line ups with Nick Warren, Jody Wisternoff, Timo Maas, Desyn, and his now long standing mate Copy Paste Soul, playing in venues across Bristol, Northern Ireland and one of London’s Turnmills last ever nights before the property developers had their wicked way

Worldview is the alias of Oliver Shaw, an Oxford UK-based songwriter, performer and producer mingling rock, pop, dance and folk with insightful lyrics and an overarching melodic sensibility. Oliver began playing in bands, including one with Coldplay’s bassist-to-be, then spent several years honing a one-man band approach in his home studio, writing, singing and playing everything in the manner of Stevie Wonder, early Prince or World Party. Oliver then adopted a new format mixing live instruments and PC as Worldview, playing dates in Oxford and London and releasing the album Our Condition in 2008; Oxfordshire Music Scene wrote: “Worldview's aptly titled 'Our Condition' takes a snapshot view of modern living, with its raw honest exploration of life today...It's a strong offering with music that combines the ballads of REM with the dance beats of Duran Duran". The album track 'Entitlement' was later featured in the major BBC drama The Driver starring David Morrissey, broadcast in autumn 2014. The recent financial crisis was the subject of 2009's single, 'Party’s Over' which featured on the diverse personal and political album Schoolboy Errors, released in February 2012. This and other album highlights were aired on radio shows and podcasts worldwide, and Oliver discussed the album and his musical path in the UK's Vents Magazine. Now largely a studio act, Worldview's 2014 album Pop Philosophy was a mature reflection on life, loss and mortality in melodic, guitar-led rock songs with elements of electro, folk and funk. In its album review Skope Magazine concluded: “Pop Philosophy takes the basics of pop music, the hooks, the delivery, the thoughtfulness, and perfects them”.
After a six year hiatus Worldview returned with Young Eyes Burning Bright. The rock/pop album’s ten songs addressed twin, related themes: midlife regrets and lessons and mortality and bereavement. Musically an established love of the sounds and songwriting of the 1960s was augmented by a belated reconnection with his formative ‘80s and ‘90s influences. Music blog The Static Dive wrote: “From the opening percussive arpeggios, live drums and analog synth of ‘Under the Bonnet’ to the New Order vibes on tracks like ‘A Rothko And Your Face,’ he blends modern Indie with the classic sounds of the pioneers of Rock and Pop. More often than not, the Worldview sound mixes dramatically different styles to create something entirely new. From the melancholy Americana Alt-Pop of “It’s What Happens’ to the cool experimentation of ‘Certain Love,’ it’s a great listen.” The album Everything Is Temporary was released in January 2025, a collection of songs exploring topics of loss, nostalgia, changed times, and the vagaries of success; the common thread being contingency and impermanence. The eleven tracks were a melodic, eclectic mixture of rock, pop and folk, incorporating everything from Moogs to musical boxes, Telecasters to Theremins, vocoders to violins, and ukuleles to uilleann pipes. Music blog Jyla called it "a stunning meditation on life's impermanence".

I love how you look at me when you’re turned on.
