Mr Sam once again returns to his Appia imprint! Toekan is a no-nonsense, slightly experimental techno track that has a bit of a dark vibe all over. Perfect for those cool, underground parties!

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Mr Sam rocks on Appia with his latest creation Toekan. He is well known for variety of styles and lately he experiments in the studio with slightly techno trance tunes like Toekan. Fantastic percussion and intense powerful drums provide the superb groove and upfront euphoric rhythm. Solid arrangement, thumping beats and playful sound effects with even acid layers thrown in turn this track into the full on techno groover that trance DJs can play and drive the crowds insane. Personally I would love to hear more trance oriented production by Mr Sam who can deliver them perfectly. Check it out! #PureBassPower Love iT  [/content]

1. Original Mix
2. Thomass Remix
3. Alternative Mix 1
4. Alternative Mix 2

It’s time for a new release on the Appia Music imprint! Cooldozer and Poka Light are the ones up for the task. Between the two of them they created a unique progressive house release with quite a refreshing sound. ‘Polaris’ will really get you moving around the dance floor, that’s for sure. Remixer Thomass took the original and transformed it into a trance slammer whilst keeping the intriguing sound. To top things off the guys added not one, but two alternative mixes! 



Dimitri Kechagias review: The record label Apia headed by Mr Sam is back. The exceptional release includes many additional versions to enjoy. First of all is the Original mix that is one of those progressive house gems that can easily crossover to trance sets as well. Playful arrangement, many cool effects to keep the interest intact and fantastic melodies on piano along with chopped female vocals and massive euphoric synthy hooks. The build up is intense and leads to the full on hands in the air euphoric climax that explodes out of proportion and will keep you jumping for long. If you like the mainstage progressive trance sound played by Armin then you will adore Thomass remix. Cool electronic melody in the breakdown along with sunkissed synths and strange female voices. The sequence towards the climax is intense and the drop mainstage as you like with heavy drums, aggressive basslines and cracking synthy hooks. The two alternative mixes change the atmosphere completely with tribal tech trance grooves, electro influenced basslines, warm strings and hair raising synths along with nice pianos. The overall effect on the dancefloor of all the versions is very nice indeed! #PureGold Love It

1. Mr Sam Vision
2. Mr Sam vs. Max Tiger IZZY Remix
3. Thomass Remix
4. DJ Furax Remix

Mr Sam is taking over with a brand new release on his Appia Music imprint carrying the interesting name of ‘Nikoomook’. Not only the name is special, the track and its remixes are as well, making it a very varied package. The Mr Sam Vision is a sturdy techno track, followed by a more rhythmic techno mix on which he teams up with Max Tiger for their IZZY remix. Belgium’s Thomass adds his electro touch to ‘Nikoomook’ while DJ Furax takes you on a hard dance ride in his mix. A unique package, enjoy!

Mr Sam has been around in the music industry for almost two decades already, displaying his own musical style and showcasing his DJ skills since 1995. His very first production was released in 1999 and since than Mr Sam has been releasing remixes, artist albums, compilations and many tracks on various labels and of course his own Appia Label. 



Dimitri Kechagias review:  Appia is one of those labels that constantly surprise us with futuristic forward thinking releases. It's about time to enjoy the coming back of Mr Sam along with Dj Furax. The result of their collaboration is the fantastic smasher Nikoomook. The track is definitely not what you usually expect from Mr Sam's trance past. Together they deliver the goods in the shape of full on banging,booming, fat and furious techno meets EDM party crasher. Rough beats to the core, aggressive snake charming basslines, excellent application of industrial music melodies, very cool vocal samples and clever breakdown with opera samples and old school rave samples. It actually remind me the Belgian school of hardhouse/ industrial techno with Dj Ghost and many others. Perfect choice for mainstage sets this summer cause it will simply sound ultra large on big summer soundsystems. Mr Sam vs. Max Tiger IZZY Remix is the more funky and very groovy techno version that will recall the classic Mauro Picotto tracks in his BXR years. Thomass remix  is the massive progressive house meets electro house meets Belgian hardstyle version. If you follow Hardwell and his label this remix is perfect for jumping and pumping around dj sets. Dj Furax continues the hardhouse meets techno sound with fantastic punchy basslines, dinosaur size kicks and great application of the classic opera vocals used in many rave classics in the past. If you had the idea that all big room house tracks sounds the same better check this release, you will change your opinion immediately. Love IT

1. Original Mix 
2. Max Tiger Remix 
3. Max Tiger Dirty Remix 
4. DJ Furax Remix 

 It might have been a while, but Mr. Sam is back with a great new release on the Appia Music label. He delivered a fierce techno track with the original mix of ‘Readyo’. Max Tiger transformed the track into two stable electro house mixes, one of which is a dirty remix. The final thumping electro house track is courtesy of DJ Furax. 

 Since 1995 Mr. Sam has been DJ-ing in many French and Belgian clubs and on various events, pioneering his own musical style, which is varied and eclectic, growing him a solid reputation. Sam released various singles and EP’s through the years and after singing with Black Hole Recordings, his career catapulted and he saw himself performing on Europe’s finest festivals and events, such as Mysteryland, Tomorrowland, Matrixx and Powerzone as well as events in East Asia and the Middle East. Not just being satisfied with simply DJ-ing, Sam also performs live sets with production buddy Dimitri Andreas under their Mojado guise .

 With this new single, a new album coming up and many more releases to come, Mr. Sam is definitely back. 



Dimitri Kechagias review: The superstar French dj & producer Mr Sam returns on his own imprint Appia with his excellent single Readyo. Forget the trance past of Mr Sam cause now we fast forward in 2013 and he goes full on banging techno perfect for big room clubs as well. His kickdrum is tough and menacing, the basslines are rough and in your face while the various radio related sound effects create a very playful atmosphere. The breakdown will surprise many as it reveals the sample from a  retro latin track that will definitely give you goosebumps. Of course dont be fooled cause the beats are kicking back hard for the firecracking final part that is a kind of climax. Max Tiger is on board with two remixes. First of all is his first remix that goes full on epic prog house with cheeky old school rave samples in the first breakdown that is followed by hardstyle synthy hooks and electro house style basslines. His main breakdown is long and teasing  keeping the crowd on their feet waiting for the screaming vocal sample and then all the way to final climax. His dirty remix is pretty similar with the first one with main difference that his basslines are sharper and more dirty squeaky and dangerous indeed. Lastly dj Furax is going for the USA EDM style that includes heavy doses of hard dance style basslines, pumping beats and euphoric synths in the breakdown. Noisey, banging, big room and EDM festivals friendly. It promises a warm and sweaty winter thats for sure. Love IT
