Munich-based producer and DJ Sam Goku made his way on to our radar last year thanks to Dutch imprint Atomnation.

Having made several appearances on the label over the last two years, as well as two outings for fellow Dutch label Intercept, Sam's finessed his approach to production, moulding his own modern, refined take on dance music that focuses on fluid rhythms, beautiful melodies and hazy kicks.

Now, with several EPs under his belt, Sam has been focusing all his efforts on his debut album 'East Dimensional Riddims', which again comes via his regular home of Atomnation. Ahead of the release, set for next month, Sam delivers a mix for us, that moves through the motions from fuzzy, twinkling ambience to bright, bouncy rhythms and shuffling breaks.
