Sam Ruffillo is an Italian DJ, producer, studio wizard, and a key artist of the Berlin label Toy Tonics. Known for his irresistible dance music, he blends groove, playful Mediterranean aesthetics, and vibrant club energy, merging classic house traditions with a fresh, sun-soaked twist rooted in his Italian heritage.

Over the past few years, Ruffillo has performed across all over Europe, and also toured Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and Mexico, lighting up the best clubs and festivals worldwide. His dynamic DJ sets at iconic venues like Panorama Bar and major events like Sónar Barcelona have cemented his reputation as an exciting force in the international dance scene.

On the production side, Ruffillo stands out as a highly capable groove architect. His releases, including the acclaimed Italianissimo series, and collaborations with Barbara Boeing, Fimiani, and Kapote, have gained strong support from heavyweights like Gerd Janson, The Blessed Madonna, Palms Trax, DJ Tennis, and Seth Troxler. Tracks like Danza Organica, Perfetta Così, and Chiamami Subito quickly became go-to anthems for the 2024 summer sets, securing his place at the forefront of the scene, while gaining significant support on Italian radios.

Blending Italian vocals, vintage disco, timeless funk, and a 90s house attitude, Ruffillo’s music captures a unique vibe that resonates both on underground dancefloors and broader audiences. His DJ sets are unpredictable, electrifying, and a true celebration of feel-good rhythms and authentic club culture — always pushing the crowd into a state of pure connection and movement.

With each new release and performance, Sam Ruffillo continues to carve out his own space in the global scene, delivering sounds that are as timeless as they are forward-thinking.
