With decades of house music knowledge and
passion, Sammy brings you an eclectic mix of
house, classics, disco, and 80’s edits with an
uplifting party vibe. Her versatility also leads to an
occasional dive into some dirtier tech house
beats, catering from warm up to peak time sets.
Frequenting the sweaty dance floor of Legends
nightclub in Warrington at the tender age of 17, started
a love of house music which led Sammy to purchase
her first set of Technics 1210’s at 18 and she has been
engrossed in the scene ever since.
Winner of this year’s ‘Slip back in time’ Mix Factor
competition, judged by legends Slipmatt, Rob Tissera
and Ratpack, Sammy played a winner’s set at iconic
Ibiza club Es Paradis. They said
“Sammy is a very talented, passionate DJ with a truly
special sparkle”
Smashing festival sets at Beatherder and Glastonbury
have been highlights this summer as well as
Clockwork Orange at Fabric London. Sammy has given
up her day job to pursue her DJ career and is hoping
to inspire others that it is never too late to follow your
dreams. The ‘pocket rocket’ as she has been
nicknamed, is certainly making for take-off.
