While only in his early twenties, Dutchman Sam Feldt has become quite the deep house tastemaker of his day. With amazing remix work as well as solid hits like the early 2015 release 'Show Me Love', which proved to be his definite claim to fame, he's one of the DJs to watch when it comes to a new sound flooding the scene.

After working behind the scenes as a producer for a long time, perfecting his musical talents, he decides to show the world what he's capable of by uploading his first tunes by the end of summer '13. Within a year Sam signs with Spinnin' Records and releases his first track on the label.
It doesn't take long for the young producer to get censed by international dance media as part of a new exciting wave of melodic deep house. With almost two million plays on SoundCloud and 250.000 plays in one week as well as a #1 Hypem spot for his remix of the Sander van Doorn & Firebeatz release 'Guitar Track', Sam can surely be seen as the rookie of the year 2014.

His sound is characterized by beautifully built melodies, loads of atmosphere and emotion packed in a tantalizing, often laidback groove.
It's a sound taking over more and more dancefloors these days, culminating in Sam's brand new release 'Show Me Love' in February 2015.
