Mr Sam Bio.
Since 1995, Sam has pioneered his own musical style and showcased the art of DJ-ing in many French and Belgian clubs and on various events. An eclectic and varied DJ style drew huge attention to clubbers as well as promoters. As a result, Sam gained a solid reputation being one of the key catalysts of the French and Belgian nightlife throughout the nineties. Renowned clubs like La Rocca, Tour & Taxi, Pacha, La Bush and Lagoa all received a taste of Sam’s choice of music and mixing abilities, when he played alongside DJ legends such as Carl Cox, Nalin & Kane, Robert Miles, Luke Slater and Misstress Barbara.
His very first production ever to hit the market became a remix for Circuit Boys “The Door”, released in 1999 on the legendary Belgian base imprint Diki Records. Heavy support by tastemakers such as Danny Tenaglia and Corvin Dalek followed, instantly launching the career of this ambitious Frenchman. This remix was followed up by stunning remixes for Dillinger & Capone - released on the infamous German label M.F.S. -, for “Mad Dogs” by German überproducer Timo Maas and Corvin Dalek’s classic “Pornoground”. Sam has accumulated a long list of more than sixty impressive remixes for a variety of A-list artists, ranging from Sinead O’Connor, Delirium, Age of Love, Praga Khan, Niels Van Gogh, Todd Terry and many others.
After signing a lucrative and solid deal with Tiësto’s Black Hole Recordings, Sam’s career catapulted in a flash resulting in worldwide licenses of his productions to labels like Kontor Records (Germany), Maelstrom Records (UK) and Central Station (Australia). Sam’s unstoppable string of releases paved Mr. Sam’s path even more thoroughly; “Lyteo” (2005), “Insight” (2006), “Split” (2007) and “Cygnes” (2008) - a collaboration with clAud9 - can be considered to be the absolute highlights in his ever expanding discography. His top notch debut album “Lyteo” (2006) displayed his versatility as a producer; breakbeats, electro, trance, techno and progressive were all blended into a 14-track digital inventory of Sam’s vault of treasures.
The renowned “Opus” compilation, released in 2007 through Black Hole Recordings, was succeeded with “Opus Secundo” in 2008; both a 2-disc blue print of what one might expect when Sam is rocking the crowd on any party, in any club, on any continent.
With a brand new artist album namely Pop Model, a tight DJ schedule and a string of releases ready to be unleashed, Mr. Sam is definitely on his way to the upper regions of his beloved scene!
