Space is the Place is very excited to have Samiyam back in Sydney after his amazing debut last year.
On the heels of his first full-length Brainfeeder release, Sam Baker’s album, and past releases on Hyperdub and Poobah, Sam has earned himself a reputation as a bad man of the scene for his heavy funk, smoked and swagged out sound. With queues to Dilla, Motown, 90s Hip Hop and Mario Brothers, Samiyam’s live show brings these together and displays a world that is unique, soulful and full of colour.
Joined by some of Sydney’s best beat producers and djs this is not a night to be missed!
SAMIYAM
Since the year 2004, Sam has been the proud owner of two midi cables. They are currently in his closet under some other shit.
Such is SAMIYAM‘s bio on his social media sites; this soulful joker of the Brainfeeder clan has garnered an international following for his shifty, slouchy, street-infused beats. Funky and disjointed, SAMIYAM’s music thumps with a hip hop backbone and swaggers into the future through a smoky cloud of jazz influences and a twisted sensibility.
With a wide sweep of inspiration from video games to Italian horror movies to Michael Jackson, SAMIYAM unravels sounds then shoves them back together in clever new ways. His music mutates and then takes shape into a hard and sloppy sonic experience, textured by wet beats that drip with soul. Like concrete smashing through a dirty window, the sound of SAMIYAM shatters expectations, and if you listen closely to the fragmented shards of bouncing street bass- you can hear his swag.
