When I sat down with Will Sparks just over a week ago, he gave the ultimate compliment to a DJ that, I’ll admit, I did not know much about:
“There’s a guy, that I’m telling you will be the biggest DJ in the world, Samual James. No one knows exactly who he is yet. It’s almost too hard to explain how good he is. He’s gonna be huge. He just needs to get out there. I hope the best for him, and he’s taught me everything. He’ll get his shot soon.”
After the interview, James name was immediately on my radar. It didn’t take long before I realized myself and Will Sparks were not the only fans. I kept seeing the Samual James’s track “Mega” appear on tracklists of Hardwell sets. After some research and discussion with James’s camp, I realized the track has yet to be released. It will be the first release on Sony Music’s new EDM label titled BASIK rkrds. The big room anthem that “Mega” has already become will set the tone for the vibe and quality that BASIK rkrds will strive for. The track combines the best qualities of the unique Australian sound with the hard hitting Dutch house style that so many of us love. Check out the preview of the track below and stay tuned for the upcoming release. Head over to BASIK rkrds Facebook page to listen to a wicked, exclusive mini-mix by Samual James.
