Bio:

Varied, are the productions that have his name; Yoshitoshi, Wave Music, Baroque, Electronic Elements, are only some of the labels from he touched. Its releases have been played and charted from dj like Deep Dish, Francois Kevorkian, Nic Fanciulli, Hernan Cattaneo, John Digweed, Joe T. Vannelli, Laurent Garnier, Alex Neri, Osunlade, Paul Van Dyk, Sultan, Brendon Moeller and many others and its name is appeared on prestigious compilation like Global Underground, Yoshitoshi, Amnesia, Il Muretto, Supalova Club.

Sam, thinks that the music and above all the DJ's does not have to be classified in a single style (minimal, techno, progressive, trance etc.), music is music and the same song can give various emotions listens to it to who, and therefore to be understanding in different way from person to person; for this, he defines his style, such a mix of emotions and musical infuences, that they change from moment to moment.

He says: “When i work on a production, I try to touch the deepest side of every people, because, the most beautiful thing when I play or I feel to play my tunes, is to make everybody happy and to make everybody feel something into their soul..”

From 2006, he is part of the Kosmoparty Group, founded in the 1998 and famous one to have collaborated with dj's like Armand Van Helden, Layo & Bushwaka, Tedd Patterson, X-Press 2, Umek and recently partner of the Ambasada Gavioli in Slovenia.

Actually Sam, is working with his friend Brusca to a plan called Apologist, that it is already to second release on Wave Music (Francois Kevorkian's label), on PyCairo Records (run by himself, Brusca and Davide Bomben), varied remix for others label and apparitions on compilation like Pure Behrouz NYC, mixed by Behrouz and SW4 Festival Mix compilation, mixed by F.K exclusively for DJ Mag.
