SAM Futura spent the last decade shaping the sounds and scenes of South East Asia. Born in France, Sam moved to Hong Kong in 2014 where he helped build the community from the ground up through his collective and booking agency Cliché Records. Along with three friends, Sam diversified and expanded HK’s underground, bringing fresh sounds to the city and the region. In 2018 Sam moved to Hanoi, Vietnam, where he opened the legendary nightclub Savage and handled the artistic direction. The venue didn’t just shape the sound of Hanoi’s underground, but acted as a playground for Sam to explore his sonic edges and an outlet for this discrete artist to experiment in intimate settings. Sam’s endlessly inspired by the artists he’s crossed paths with, his experiences playing alongside Roman Flügel, Gonno and nd_baumecker had a major impact on him and continue to inspire him today. SAM Futura mixes are sonic explorations of 90s house, rave nostalgia and timeless energizing soul. Music is an outlet for this introspective artist to connect and communicate with listeners while sharing his mysterious and hedonistic side. Sam FUTURA’s played many powerhouse venues in the region - Zhao Dai in Beijing, Pawnshop in Taipei, The Observatory in Saigon as well as local festivals Equation, Karma Konkrete and Sónar Hong Kong. There’s no doubt the scenes of South East Asia have influenced Sam as much as he’s influenced them. Catch one of his sets and you’ll notice a sense of adventure and curiosity, as though the endless summers and tropical nights have seeped into his DNA. In 2021 SAM Futura moved back to the Fragrant Harbour to share his love and years of experience of underground culture with 宀 club. .
