Resident DJ @orphicamsterdam

Orphic is an Amsterdam based event company with a focus on techno and community building within the scene.

- 'Maximalist trying to fit in to a Minimalist world.'

- SAMA (様): Japanese honorific.

- UN_defined

SAMA is a DJ and producer from Utrecht, The Netherlands. 

SAMA's productions and sets have a signature dark, driving groove, where storytelling always takes centre-stage. Music riddled with small intricacies, a heavy focus on sounddesign and an infinitely perfectionist mindset; a Maximalist approach to a Minimalist sound, if you will. SAMA's music is a regular for many of the mainstay names in the scene, including Richie Hawtin, Freddy K, Rødhåd, Rene Wise, Marrøn, Cleric, Setaoc Mass and more. 

SAMA's sets and music have garnered him a residency at the well-respected ORPHIC events.
