SAMA | Awakenings Easter Festival 2022

Hi everyone, 

here's my set at Free Your Mind Festival 2022! I had the honour to play just before the golden hour slot on a massive stage under a bridge, the sun was beaming and dust was flying everywhere, which was absolutely magical. For this reason I also felt going a bit happier with a bit more vocals than I normally do, mostly towards the second half of my set. I hope you'll enjoy <3

Hey everyone, 

here's a new set by me, fresh from 909 festival. High-energy vocal-heavy festival vibes while still trying to keep my signature darker and driving flavour. When playing this set I thought it was quite a chaotic set, but to be honest it's just a fucking bop. So I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do!

Much love,

S

SAMA at 909 Festival, Amsterdamse Bos [04.06.2023]

“As for most podcasts, I wanted the set to be 100% me, as there’s no crowd to adapt to. The set consists of the exact kind of techno that I would imagine myself playing at an Awakenings event in the Gashouder; bridging the deep, groovy and dramatic. As always you can expect to find some unreleased tracks of mine in there. I’m honoured to be part of the legendary brand’s podcast series, as a nice little warmup for this summer’s festival. Enjoy!"

Vault Sessions #168 - SAMA

Hey peeps,

here's my 3-hour closing set at ORPHIC. This was a really special one for me as I've been going to the Orphic parties quite a bit. From the first time visiting I wanted to play here. The crowd and vibe at these parties is zero to none, and the organisation is a lovely group of people with a very community-based mindset. 

I wanted to do something special, and I think you can hear that in this set. It's a very hypnotic and heavy set, ranging from very emotive to heavy dark tracks, with a lot of layering going on. There's a few small moments that are slightly messy as I was constantly playing with multiple decks at once, but that makes it human ;). The recording cut out at 2:50:00, so I edited the last few tracks in to ensure a safe landing after 3 hours. 

Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did playing this.

Much love,

S

SAMA closing set at ORPHIC, Amsterdam [03.12.23]

During our INVITED SERIES, we would love for each artist to feel completely creatively free and showcase their beloved sounds.

After discovering, and meeting Tibe through us randomly walking into the (now non-existant) record store “Mary Go Wild” in Amsterdam. He showed us one of his last remaining vinyl copy’s of a EP “MXMN001” he had previously released under his own label Maximalist_Minimalist. 

SAMA’s goal is to create a piece of art with every release. To let the music and the visual art create something that really grabs the attention. And since Amsterdam’s scene still seems to be so small, yet interconnected. Talent somehow, in one way or another.. Always manages to rise to surface, and will inevitably be discovered by someone, somehow.

Take a listen to this freshly released mix from our INVITED SERIES. Our aim is to give spotlight to certain artists we admire, or those wo inspire us to give them complete creative freedom, plus the room for them to showcase their beloved sounds on our platform.

SAMA FOR UNDISCLOSED - INVITED SERIES

A DJ and producer from Utrecht, he is an artist that describes himself as a Maximalist trying to fit in to a Minimalist world.
His productions and sets have a signature dark, driving groove, where storytelling always takes centre-stage. Music riddled with small intricacies, a heavy focus on sound-design and an infinitely perfectionist mindset. 
SAMA's recently become a resident at the infamous Club Basis located in Utrecht, Netherlands. 
This is where this one+ hour live session was recorded, so that makes it even more special!

“I’ve been eagerly awaiting for this one, since i believe that SAMA is one of the most interesting artists of the new generation.
A versatile producer that his studio proficiency always shine through every record he releases and a great Dj as proven by the live session that he provided.
He is one of the modern figures within the scene that you should definitely keep an eye on if you haven’t already discovered his talent. 
Highly recommended !
So turn this one up and enjoy SAMA in the mix.”

SAMA | The Renegade Sessions 018

Vera and I met as residents at our beloved Club Basis and quickly found out Vera was moving in a similar direction as I did a few years ago. Since we both originally came from different backgrounds, the connection felt extra strong. This called for a B2B. The synergy was even more intense than we expected, turning into a three-hour journey of layering and going deeper and deeper, slowly building to a heavy and dark crescendo. I personally don't think I've ever built up a set this perfectly, and this can only really be attributed to the incredible chemistry we had here.

We’re so excited about the outcome, that we decided to share the set, and we sincerely hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did playing this.

Tracklist: Impossible. Just send a message or reply to the set, and we'll do our best to give the track ID <3

SAMA's set for the last edition blew us off our socks. It was deep, emotive and captivating and kept the dancefloor going like there was no tomorrow. Finally you're able to relive that moment. Enjoy the ride!

SAMA Live @ Illegal Romance 10-11-2024

"This set was heavily inspired by the set I played at Orphic on the 9th of February, not only because of the trackselection, but also in terms of the vibe I wanted to convey. Starting off quite minimalist and groovy, but steadily building towards heavier and more intense territory."
