B-Side Radio: Guest Selections - Sam Steele Mar 27 2022

My opening set for Karsten Sollors recorded live April 2022 at Gorgomish.  This was a moment for me getting to do my thing in this legendary afterhours after 4 years away, and with one of the most exciting lineups I've had the honour of being part of.  I respect @karstensollors and @henrycmusic so much.  

The energy in the room this night was off the charts.  This recording includes live audio from the room, so turn it up and get into it.

Thank you to @gorgomish for the invitation.  Thank you to everyone who was there to make this sublime dance floor.  These moments go by in a blur, but the feeling from this one is etched in my body forever.

With roots in Vancouver’s queer underground, Sam Steele has become a fixture in Vancouver in recent years having held multiple residencies at major venues across the city and regularly serving up marathon six-hour sets marked by punchy rhythms, rolling basslines, and soulful, euphoric vocals drawn from the classics - a signature sound that fans have come to know as BIG GAY HOUSE.  

With every dance floor he plugs into, Sam's energy encourages people to lose themselves, and more importantly, find themselves - a reflection of his respect for what the dance floor represents. 

With a formal musical education from Berklee College of Music, Sam went on to create the duo Diana Boss with production partner Josh McRae in 2014. Together they went on to release music on labels such as Westwood Recordings, Jungle Funk Recordings, NYLO Music, UFO Recordz, and Play Records among others. In 2020 they made their first international appearance at Yelapa Festival. Their music placements include the Netflix Original Japanese reality show “Terrace House” featuring their 2017 single “Simple Girl” and CBC’s sitcom “Queens” featuring their 2017 single “Give Me Life feat. Quanah Style.”

In early 2020 the decision was made to rebrand Diana Boss as Goddexx. The rebranding was a positive change for the Vancouver music scene, and for the duo personally; and one which inspired other artists to do the same. Riding a wave of new energy, Goddexx saw new releases on Westwood Recordings and theBasementDiscos, produced a string of singles for Canadian Drag superstar Scarlett Bobo, and cracked the Top 10 on Beatport’s Nu Disco / Disco Chart, Indie Dance Chart, and House Chart with their 2020 release “Make U Feel Good” on NYLO Music.

2021 saw the start of a fresh, self-titled, solo project for Sam Steele with debut solo releases landing on Cruise Music, Sollors Systems, and Vile Music; new weekly residencies at Vancouver’s famed 1181 Lounge, Celebrities Nightclub, and the historic Hollywood Theatre; his continued residency on NYLO's Welcome To The Weekend heard around the world on DI.FM, and signing with Triple A Talent Agency.  

2022 was a breakthrough year for Sam that saw him play over 80 shows including debut appearances at Basscoast Music Festival, FVDED Music Festival, and LA Pride.  

Sam continued into 2023 with opening sets for Mark Knight and Honey Luv, an electrifying return to Basscoast Music Festival, and his first solo international debuts at Yelapa Gathering and Seattle’s Monkey Loft - the first of many international debuts on the horizon.  With rising optimism about what lies ahead, Sam’s focus is now turned to releasing new productions that speak to his original love of House music.  

House is life.
