Biography: |
Sam’s life has always revolved around music. 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.6, 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”. |
