I am neither afraid of showing my emotions nor to include them in my music - Stimming

Few people bring a truly original sound to house music. At a relatively young age, Hamburgs Martin Stimming did just that, demonstrating a sophisticated yet accessible sound that is beyond his years.

Two years after hooking up with Solomuns Diynamic Music, his 2008 breakthrough hit Una Pena made the electronic world sit up and take notice, and before long acclaimed labels like Freerange, liebe*detail, Buzzin´ Fly, Green and Poker Flat were snapping up his work. 2009 saw him release his immaculate debut album Reflections to great acclaim, cementing his reputation as one of the most exciting new producers of his generation. 

His second album, Liquorice, eschews the normal kick-clap/snare template by and large to explore more interesting and progressive territories, but always with that trademark magpie-like sense of texture, emotion and discovery. 

His productions are filled with a multitude of his own unique, charismatic field recordings, and he never uses the same sample more than once. 

2010 saw him pick up an award for Best Newcomer at the Ibiza DJ Awards, following on from his live show (Stimming does not DJ) stunning the crowds at the islands legendary Pacha, and the finest danceries around the world Πfrom Berlins Panoramabar to Sao Paulo´s D-Edge, Brussels Fuse, London´s fabric and Paris Rex, and plenty more beyond. 

Remixes for the likes of Sascha Funke, Claude VonStroke, Deadmau5, Stephan Bodzin and Tom Novy to name but a few have further spread his influence amongst the discerning house and tech community, and cemented his reputation as one of the scene´s most exceptional producers.

Clearly, Martin Stimming is a precious talent indeed. But then again, not everyone loves liquorice...

Able to play various instruments at the tender age of six years, coupled with his passion to listen, create and perform music was all it took for Samuel Mkhize to find his way into South Africa's booming house industry. 

While only considering music as a hobby, it took almost a year of convincing, from a close friend for him to officially debut on Deep On Deck: September 2016 as Sam Mkhize. Since then, he's had the opportunity to play in multiple events and among some of South Africa's biggest artists such as: TiMO ODV, Mogey, audiojerk, Kilopascal, Michael Douglas, Two Tone, Thatcher, RIKAY, Nique, Bassmental, Ctrl Room and many more. His distinctive production, influenced by the likes of: deadmau5, Skrillex, Stimming, Zedd, Swedish House Mafia, David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Benny Benassi, Oliver Heldens, Nicky Romero,  Avicii, Jon Hopkins, Uberjak'd, Clockwork, Billy Kenny, Kyle Watson, ClassSickKwl and many more has earned him the chance to release on multiple record labels.

Sam's goal is to impact and inspire anyone willing to listen, just as the artists mentioned above did for him. He believes all the accolades and acclaim come second to the joy he's able to give people, whether you see him on stage or simply listening in.

Sam would not be who he is without the teachings, mentorship and guidance from his older brother Sphesihle Ntobeko 'JubSoup' Mkhize [1990 - 2014]
