Piananana EP

Preview + Purchase 12" / Digital- https://sammybananas.bandcamp.com/album/piananana-ep

Sammy Bananas, known mainly for his work on A-Trak's groundbreaking NYC label Fool's Gold flexes his versatility offering up 3 flavors of piano based, club ready dance tracks on his debut EP for Bastard Jazz, the "Piananana EP". The signature funky and quirky style which he developed over a decade of releases is still audible, but the material here is geared more towards foggy late night basements. “Non-Stop” is built around hypnotic, syncopated stabs which slowly grow into a bass heavy stomper, while “Thrilla” meets somewhere between Bmore and Hardcore while still staying in the pocket. “Finesse” is a hauntingly soulful groove with a snaking analog bass line and Parisian producer Hugo LX, fresh off an EP with DJ Spinna, rounds out the release with a reserved and enticing take on “Non-Stop”.

I went on Balamii radio the other week to promote my new "Piananana" EP on Bastard Jazz.  I played some of my favorite piano based house tunes as well as the cuts from the new release.  Enjoy this recording of the set and head to http://hyperurl.co/piananana to get the EP!  We're both playing at Elsewhere in Brooklyn on April 5th

Brooklyn producer and party maestro Sammy Bananas lives up to his name. This Fool’s Gold OG has proven himself as a master of the club jam, writing tunes that pay respect to dance music’s past while simultaneously charting it’s quirky, funky future. After a decade of singles and EPs, he welcomes his debut full length “Someday” to the world.  Through a diverse array of songs featuring 13 guest vocalists, he leads the listener on a journey which Billboard says “Drips in summer perfection…flirty, grown and sexy, hype and hella fun. It’s a must have for your rotation.” 

Outside of original tunes, he crafts official remixes for big names like Chromeo, Tinashe and even Maroon 5 while his acclaimed and tasteful bootlegs of tracks by Miguel, JT and Anderson .Paak are DJ staples which transcend narrow subgenres.  Sammy Bananas has rocked dance floors in over 100 cities across the globe, sharing stages with the likes of A-Trak, Kenny Dope and Hayden James. Whether it’s an all-wax set in LA at the Do-Over, cutting edge house at Durrr in London and Rhonda in LA, traveling further afield on a recent Asia tour, or his appearance at MOOG fest, he always delivers with his uniquely funky yet focused style.
