BIOGRAPHY
Sammy Bananas is a DJ and Producer based in Brooklyn, NY. Growing up
in a household filled with music, Sammy began playing piano at a young
age, soon switching to the Saxophone. A key moment in his development
as a musician came at age 10, when Sammy's mother confiscated a mix
tape that he and his friend Justin had made because it contained
Digital Underground's classic "Packet Man". At this defining moment of
youthful rebellion, Sammy's love of Hip-Hop was born. Soon, the
Saxophone gave way to a pair of Turntables...
As half of the unstoppable DJ duo Certified Bananas, Sammy has honed
his jockeying skills into a club science. Since 2004, CB have released
a series of acclaimed mixtapes and shaken parties across the country
with their eclectic yet slick approach to making crowds go wild. This
experience allows Sammy to apply the data gathered from his dancefloor
experiments into the formulas of his own remixes, where knowing what
makes a great dance tune is essential. Sammy has nearly a decade of
experience in music production. With credits ranging from Hip Hop
(Lipshcitz, Sontiago), to Indy Rock (remixes for Editors, Chromeo) and
to Funk-Pop with his band Miss Fairchild (production of two LPs so
far) Sammy is no novice in a world of young bucks.
In the fall of 2007, Sammy added another credit to the list with the
release of "High Top Fades" on up and coming record Label Fools Gold
(home to Kids Sister, Jokers of the Scene and DJ A-Trak among others.)
The remixes on "High Top Fades" draw heavily from Sammy's middle
school years, updating 4 classics of the early 90s Hip-Pop cannon to
find a home on the dancefloors of today. Incorporating elements of
Baltimore Club, Boston Bounce and Electro, Sammy adds grit and flavor
to these crowd favorites, upping the tempos and adding snap to the
beats. The result is an original brand of new school party breaks that
will surely become crate essentials. Early 2008 found Superstar DJs
spinning Sammy's "All The Girls" remix of N.E.R.D's "Everyone Nose"
in clubs around the world. In the summer of 2008, Sammy plans to
continue touring and release his 2nd EP on Fool's Gold "Braids &
Fades" with more remixes of classic 90s jams.
"The first part of success is Get-to-it-iveness; the second part of success is Stick-to-it-iveness." This is one quote I'd put on my wall. Have a blessed day!
