Sama (pronounced sum-aa or sama') represents a mystical journey of one's spiritual ascent through music and mind, emphasizing a feeling of elation. It was practiced in gatherings of ancient mystics where poetry was accompanied by instrumentation, and reinforced by the repetition of powerful rhythms. We at Sama aspire to establish a night of intimate settings, and to showcase the new-school of emerging talent that lacks representation in New York.
Artist Info:
Kyle Geiger (Drumcode | Perc Trax | Droid Records)
Hailing from a region known for its basketball and corn, the emergence of an artist from Indiana such as Kyle Geiger is marked as seldom at best. Kyle Geiger's quick rise in the international dance scene is due to both his production prowess, and his explosive decks and effects DJ sets that bridge the divide between techno and minimal. Kyle is not a producer first, DJ second, but chooses to look at both aspects of DJ and production as a whole; one is not complete without the other. Originally inspired by the harder, percussive stylings of late 90's Swedish techno featured on seminal labels like Drumcode and Code Red, Kyle has witnessed the evolution of the genre as it morphed into a more accessible, groove based sound. Still loving the energy and power of the earlier phases of techno while embracing the genre's changes, Kyle has refined his productions and DJ sets into what very well may be a new breed of soundscapes that pushes things forward for the next generation of techno to come.
Since being named in DJ Mag as the "breakthrough DJ of 2008" by Adam Beyer, the years following have proven to be nothing short of that title for Kyle Geiger. Within the first year of his premier vinyl release, Kyle achieved international notoriety, a feat that many never accomplish in their entire career as a DJ/producer. Having played literally all over America, the Indiana-based producer is set to storm the international scene. With multiple European and South American tours under his belt already, including two performances at the widely touted Berghain in Berlin (Voted by ResidentAdvisor.net as the 1 club in the world), rounded off with a stop at the Dance Valley festival in Amsterdam this summer, Kyle is certainly prepared for the big things the future is already promising to bring. With highly regarded releases on Drumcode, MB Elektronics, and Perc Trax, as well as remixes for Trapez, Droid, Renovatio, plus having his tracks played by all the heavy hitters, the future is proving to be a very promising place for Kyle Geiger as he continues to take his widely recognized DJ set around the world and to the next level.

Syed Raza [Subfractal] (Harthouse Mannheim | Sleaze Records | Excentric Muzik)
One half of the duo Subfractal, Syed is a relatively recent transplant to New York. Initially starting his musical career in Toronto, where his partner Fahad Ahmed and him met, Subfractal quickly established themselves as staples of the local techno scene.
Having released on reputable labels such as Harthouse Mannheim, Excentric Muzik, Sleaze Records, Bosphorous Underground, Frequenza, amongst others, 2009 saw their remix of Larry Power's 'Milk' at the #1 spot on the highly competitive Beatport Minimal charts for over 6 weeks, furthering their reputations as forward thinking producers.
With features at the Winter Music Conference in Miami and at the Detroit Electronic Music Conference this past year, as well as having played numerous international shows, we can’t wait to see what the new year has in store for them.

Nunzi vs Rohin (BEEF Records)
Originally a production team cultivated a year and a half ago, Nunzi and Rohin are quite new to the New York scene. Nunzi had been producing and DJing for about two years before he met Rohin through a mutual friend at New York University. Since then they have played clubs such as Love, Katra, Webster Hall, various underground parties and multiple venues in Toronto. Last summer marked the release of their first EP entitled "1950" on BEEF records, and since then they have been working on formulating their sound both independently and as a group.

Matias Jofre (Rite of Wednesdays | (S)innerScene)
Born in Argentina and currently residing in New York, this DJ/producer is one of the regulars on the local circuit. If you know your music and are an avid party-goer, chances are you’ve experienced his performances at one point or another. Having played numerous shows across town, and purveyor of sounds at the Rite of Wednesdays party, Matias is a natural behind the decks and we’re happy to have him on board for the night.
