The magic isn’t just in the overdriven patterns; it’s also in the swing I give to the drums and grooves. This swing accentuates the rolling basslines, giving the entire track a compelling, driven feel.
A MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE
One of the most transformative experiences in SAMOH’s career was performing a live set without any preparation.
“I believe an artist should always explore different genres and draw from them to create a unique sound. By incorporating diverse elements, each artist can develop their own distinctive style. When I’m influen- ced by a different genre, it blends with my artistic vision and style, shaping how I create, build up, and mix tracks”.
A NEW ALBUM! SUCH AMAZING TRACKS SUCH GREAT MUSIC
Thank you! With this album, I wanted to showca- se the essence of SAMOH. Divided intofour parts, each part captures a different side of my sound and musical influences. The first part dives into a dee- per journey with rolling basslines, trippy polyrhythmic leads, and melancholic Arabian vocals. The second part highlights the style most people associate with me: acid techno. Here, I crafted a variety of acid-in- fused tracks, each uniquely utilizing the acid machi- ne. The third part is a harder mix of tekno and trance, featuring raw, bouncy Basslines and nasty leads. Fi- nally, the fourth part is a trance-inspired selection, characterized by huge-sounding leads and a more emotional, introspective vibe.
This album has been a year-long project, but it was totally worth it.
I aimed to encapsulate all the sounds that influence my track writing and live performances. I’m thrilled with the variety and depth of the tracks. My hope is that listeners are taken on a journey, enjoying both the listening and dancing to it. Besides that I am really eager to see how other artists will incorporate the tracks in their sets.
SOMETHING IS COOKING IN ROTERDAM
There’s been a lot of movement in the techno scene in Rotterdam and beyond. Post-COVID, the tempo and intensity of techno have increased, and Rotterdam is following a harder techno sound.
Before the pandemic, I was part of the harder techno segment, but I wouldn’t place myself there now. I now also see a division in the techno scene where there are harder parties but also more parties that go back to the roots of techno and that it’s all about groove. This is part of a cyclical trend: techno speeds up, then the genre splits between those who push for even faster beats and those who prefer a slower pace. This evolution happens in any genre, and I’m eager to see where it leads. Besides that I hope to be an influence for people and finding ways to work together with other artist to create something never heard before and keep pushing boundaries of what is possible
