It has been a while! SAMA is back on his label Maximalist_Minimalist after 1,5 years of silence. This time it's 3 hard-hitting and functional tracks, all heavily played and road-tested by a small handful of artists over the course of the last year.

The fourth EP in the "MXMN" catalog starts off with "Concentrado". A driving groove and a big focus on the tight and crispy drums take you by the hand before introducing an angry bass that takes you out of the functional, into the emotional. The second track "Particularity" does justice to its name with a particular and playful-but-heavy groove, while the spaced out synths, almost breathing percussion and eerie atmospherics try to pull you in. Finishing it off, "I Might've Misunderstood" is the least menacing of the three, but nonetheless a powerful track with tight drums, SAMA-esque bass growls and a thin metallic lead tip-toeing throughout.

The artwork, just like all previous artworks, was painted by Ric Santesteban.

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.
