Samuel Sonder is a music producer creating electronic music at the intersection of melodic techno, progressive house, and trance.   His sound is melody-driven, and often integrates elements of lush soundscapes, pulsing rhythms, driving basslines, and purposeful lyrics. Being based in Chicago, the local underground dance music and club scene has deeply inspired him, and greatly influenced his musical sound. Samuel strives to stand out with a sound that feels unique and forward-thinking, yet draws upon the familiar influences of the underground. As a result, there are a wide range of themes portrayed through his records, however each one is intended to invoke a specific feeling, memory, or condition of the human experience. "Sonder" Definition — noun. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own — populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness — an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you'll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.
