Raised in Amsterdam and of Dutch/Indonesian descent, Samira spent her formative years listening to the percussive sounds of the Indonesian gamelan, and began her life-long love affair with the piano at age 7. She discovered life behind the decks after dropping out of a PhD program in literature in late 1999, and she hasn't looked back since. Today, whether it's nu-skool breaks, tribal or progressive, a deep love for percussion, combined with that of story-telling, remains at the root of Sam's sound.

In 2000, she co-founded the all-female DJ collective Witches' Brew, which is best known for its monthly residency at the popular Beatdown party in Berkeley. The women of Witches' Brew recently recruited 2 new residents and upped the ante for 2003, as they now collectively hold down nine residencies, host two weekly online radio shows, are traveling for out of town gigs, and return for their 4th season in Berkeley as a party of 5. In short, summer is barely over and this year is already proving to be a remarkable one.

In 2002 Samira earned a weekly residency at RAW in Oakland, and played at a Burning Man pre-compression party in New York. She also started up a new monthly called Sunday School Sessions, which allowed her to bring international breakbeat DJs and producers such as 10 Sui (TCR/Botchit & Scarper, UK) and the Incredible Melting Man (2 WARS) to San Francisco. In January 2003, Samira joined Sister SF, the longest running female DJ crew in the Bay Area (and beyond). With the Sister collective she has thrown parties in SF and at the WMC in Miami.

Sam has DJd all over the West Coast, Texas, New York, and the WMC in Miami, and has started to carve a niche for herself with her dark & compelling nu-skool breaks. Sam has played alongside headlining breakbeat talent such as: the Carbon Community, Son of the Electric Ghost, 10 Sui, DJ Hyper, Boabinga, 30Hz, DJ Friendly, Lee Coombs, the Incredible Melting Man, and other artists such as Andrea Parker, Miss Honey Dijon, Jondi & Spesh, Heather Heart, Reid Speed, Shortee, the Syrup Girls, and of course her crew from Sister SF.

It’s funny throughout my time as a guitarist I have had various ethnic music come into my sound. East Indian, Celtic, and Native American have all come from my guitar without familiarity to these kinds of music except what I’ve heard.

Though I play the guitar the Piano is my true Love.

Started in 2006. Misspelled is a platform for experimental sound artists to explore and share their ideas without limitations or boundaries. Misspelled releases Experimental electronic music across the world wide web through mostly digital format.

We have created a vehicle for sound artists and to share collectively their music across a wide array of listeners through the world wide web. Shine the light on all that is Dark, Ambient, Cross-Genre, Defiant, and Gorgeous.

We have released an exorbitant amount of material since our humble beginnings, and in-fact we still consider ourselves humble and are appreciative of the people who allow themselves to expose and share their music, so more people can be interested in the (off) norm music that is truly respective.
