Sam is a resident at the infamous East London party Pumping Velvet which takes place every two months at the much loved Dalston Superstore. For those in the know, this is a venue with a storied reputation as one of the most influential LGBTQ+ venues in the city and has been a home and safe space to music lovers and free spirits for many, many years.

As such, the role of a resident DJ in such as space is in high demand and highly acclaimed. Only the best and the most creative selectors are given the reigns. We are delighted to spotlight and showcase one such DJ in Sam PV who has built a reputation as a talented selector who knows how to read a room with skill and decorum.

Introduced to us by a friend, this mix takes us on a whirlwind tour across a breadth of sounds, featuring both a UK influence and music from further afield. It’s a riotous selection of Garage, Kuduro, Breakbeat and beyond which firmly celebrates the modern sound of club culture in London.
