SAM PUNK - the motherfuckin' terrorist of bass!
Sam’s life has always revolved around music with a fukkin bass! He was born in 1972 in Slovenia and developed a strong liking for electronic music at an early age.
At the age of 15 he created his first songs on a C-64 and Amiga and spun the turntables at private parties. Of course he also made a “normal training” on the business sector – but already at this time his passion was still with the music. He has been performing as a DJ on a professional basis since 1989 and done many gigs at raves and in clubs.
A friend and Sam then established a studio in 1994. Their first record, "Exlex-E-Energy", appeared under a Stuttgart label and was a top ten hit in different DJ CHARTS. This was followed by numerous tracks on labels like "Full-E-Records" and "Formaldehyd" ("Hold back the feeling"), which became one of the hits at the Berlin Love Parade in 1995.
In 1996 Sam made his next step within the music business – he started to work in product management and later as A & R Manager for the record company and distributor "DA MUSIC". Apart from working on many different CD compilations, he was responsible for the label "Triebwerk".
After some years training within a record company it was time for a professional self-employed work. Step by step Sam created next to the own production studio METROPOLIS STUDIO, his own marketing- and promotion agency MAS MARKETING, his own VINYL & CD DISTRIBUTION "BASS-IC" (www.bass-ic.de), furthermore he set up a music publishing EL SAMUEL MAS PUBLISHING and in last consequence his own record labels STEEL RECORDS, HARDNATION and TUNE IN RECORDS.
Next to more than 100 releases on his own and other labels, Sam was also able to realize two mix cd series (HARDBEATZ and TUNE IN™). Specialy the HARDBEATZ VOL.10 (VOL. 11 comin soon), which is right now on the Market, is one the best selling HARDSTYLE CDs in germany!
Today he is well known - also international - especially in NL and UK, where he achieved various number one dance charts hits and even got a track in the sales charts, you can find him more and more behind the turntables. Besides these territories he gains bookings in Canada, UK, Croatia, Poland, Slovenia, Switzerland and Spain. His style, a mixture between hardstyle/hard dance, progressive and hardtrance, is working very well.
But concerning this constant discussion about what style to spin – Sam does not fix himself. His attitude toward this is: “music has to rock the crowd – that’s the only important thing”
