A stalwart of the West Wales free party and techno scene from the mid-nineties, Sam Watson has always been 100% committed to producing DJ sets that have a unique sound, with a power, accuracy and intensity that always put him as a headliner at the peak time of the night. 
Always a crowd favorite, Sam has blown parties apart, and his musicianship at the decks led him to play twice at the legendary House of God night in Birmingham.
Playing at parties and clubs all over the UK including twice at Birmingham's House of God, Uti in Edinburgh, Room 237 Bristol and The Cause London. He has hosted and been resident DJ at a number of nights in Aberystwyth in Wales, which have included guests such as Surgeon, Paul Damage, Andrew Weatherall, Billy Nasty and Si Begg to name a few. For the last eighteen years Sam has been a resident at Freerotation Festival and at Audiofarm Festival. His recent sets at Freerotation are legendary.
Aside from two releases in 2001 under the name Dr Watson, one on Complex Records (label formerly run by Regis and Female) and a remix on Steevio's Mindtours label, Sam has more recently released on Trust Recordings and 6ONE6 and and two well-received four track Ep's on Third Ear Recordings. With lots of material crafted, Sam is ready to launch many more releases. 
His location in Machynlleth Wales, an epic landscape of depth and extremes, pays a huge role in his style. This and his love of the raw, industrial Detroit and Birmingham sounds, coupled with huge influence from the wild power of the 90’s Welsh party scene, have led him to develop a unique style of techno mixing. 
With a commitment to the artform for 30 years, his talent is now at peak output. 
Sam uses four decks, two vinyl and two cd decks for playing his own material exclusive to his sets which are planned strategically to create a cerebral and immersive journey.
