Sam Tbd is inspired by house pioneers of Chicago and New York and by spacey, dubby sounds from Detroit, the UK and all over the world. His training was late nights and early mornings immersed in music (and sweat) on Shanghai dancefloors. He’s grateful to have had chances to contribute to local and regional scenes, and feels lucky to have shared the decks with some of his heroes: Eris Drew and Octo Octa, Ben Ufo, Hunee, Solar, Efdemin and Move D. Sam Tbd was managing partner and music director of Elevator (2016-2023), creating a place where world-class artists mixed with emerging local and regional talent, labels and strange concepts were born, and a safe space was held for every kind of raver to get lost on the dancefloor together. Sam Tbd’s love for the past, present and future of dance music shines through MEDUSA, the party/label he calls home. MEDUSA tours across China and Asia with some of Shanghai’s fiercest DJs and queens, building over-the-top nightlife experiences on a community foundation Sam Tbd（前名 Mau Mau）追寻那些能引发他舞动的节奏，将其细腻地交织，借由音符与肢体的共振与他人产生无言的连接。在每一场演出开始之前，他并不知晓自己将要创造何种氛围——这份未知，正是他与每一位观众共同探索的契机。 Sam Tbd 的音乐灵感汲取了芝加哥和纽约的 house 先锋精神，同时也深受底特律、英国及世界各地空灵迷幻的 dub 音色的影响。历经无数个上海舞池的深夜与清晨，浸润在音乐与汗水中，他逐渐磨砺出独特的声音。他心怀感激，有机会为本地及区域的音乐场景贡献力量，更感恩能与自己心中的英雄们共同分享同一舞台——如 Eris Drew、Octo Octa、Ben Ufo、Hunee、Solar、Efdemin 以及 Move D。 在 2016 至 2023 年间，Sam Tbd 担任 Elevator 的合伙人及音乐总监，致力于为世界级艺术家与本地新兴力量提供碰撞与融合的空间，使其成为孕育众多音乐厂牌与奇思妙想的摇篮，而舞池，则成为不同个体自由共舞的避风港。 Sam Tbd 对舞曲音乐的过去、现在与未来的热爱，透过他称之为家的派对/厂牌 MEDUSA 所展现得淋漓尽致。MEDUSA 与上海的顶尖 DJ 和 Queen 跨越中国及亚洲巡演，以坚实的社区根基为依托，创造了无数个极致而狂热的夜晚。
