q. pls introduce yourself
a. Artur / mu tate / mu

q. is there a story behind the mix?
a. it always starts with a few pieces that capture a particular mood or have a distinctive sonic quality that makes me want to build a whole hour of music around. i’m mostly interested in the emotional response that inevitably comes with listening and less so in the production as such. i like to take my time so each mix ends up soundtracking at least a month of my life. here the spoken word bits set the scene, instrumental pieces then try to accentuate and expand on that theme, take it further or in another direction all together. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.

q. what’s the best way enjoy your mix?
a. i mostly record mixes with the idea of home listening since it’s my favourite way to enjoy music. it’s an evening listen rather than morning for this one.

q. describe a favourite object in your living room...
a. a burkhard vogtherr hombre chair that i got off etsy for £70. My favourite thing to sit on and to look at. 

q. are you working on any projects right now (music or not music)?
a. yes and no. we’re still working on some bits for the recent 3XL/Utter record like physical copies and a video. other than that i’m doing things at a much slower pace, exchanging stems but nothing that i myself plan on showing.

Boomkat review:
London’s Jon K & Elle Andrews grip Samson A.K. for the first MAL mixtape - a cut ’n paste hour of screwed downbeats, grotty jazz, and ruder club thrust, mostly built from his own productions interspersed with skits, on a tip somewhere between classic Disengage x Blue Jam.

Samson A.K. has long worked behind the curtain of London club music. On ‘Tape 1’ MAL spotlight the breadth of his mutant steez, giving him carte blanche for a collaged self-portrait stitched together with samples and cruddy, free-handed edits that suite the tape format well.

Side A runs from dancehall and deconstructed grime into pockets of bong-huff jazz and MJB-like deep house, then backward thru the bush of ghosts, into worm-charming industrial techno tremors. The B-side follows thru with a slew of distended offbeats and lopsided rhythmic programming to run rings around latinate techno, blown-out grunge, and radioactive brownian slosh, before bringing it back to root in mutant dancehall - a key fascination (obsession?) he shares with MAL.

Samson A.K 'Tape 1' snippets

SAMSON A.K 28.5.24

BOOGZ, a man so real, they gave him the keys to the city (Wigan) with a summer heater rap mixtape featuring music from, Young Thug and Gucci Mane, E40, Gunna, Da Baby, Big Moe, Lil Baby, City Girls, The Pack, Luniz and Plenty more

Boogz is the real deal, no bullshit, doesn’t dickride, just straight bad boy bidness!!!!!

Crazy how some of these DJs think they’ve got mad eclectic taste, but can’t name a Young Thug or The Verve tune when asked. Weirdos. 

WE LOVE MUSIC!!

My mix for The Wire Magazine 

"Samson AK traverses some of the industrial, noise and no wave sounds that influenced the make-up of Tape 1. Compiling “early 1980s and 90s weirdo cassette tape excerpts”, he includes music by Belgian experimental band Pseudo Code, Japanese one-man band Yximalloo, Brume collaborator Vrischika, and more."
