Sidney Samson returns to the release circuit fresh from of the success of monster hits “Torrent” and “Move,” taking his Rock The Houze imprint by storm this April. He turns up the dial on his signature dance floor-dominating antics and stays true to his roots on his latest collaboration with Gwise entitled “Go.” Thumping kickdrum and snare snaps join synths waves for a melodic introduction, but Sidney flips his production on its head with the drop — projecting his grinding electro bassline deeper than ever.

Sidney Samson previewed his latest pulsing electro production “Go” via SoundCloud yesterday. The track features fellow Amsterdam-based producer Gwise and opens with a synth-driven intro before unloading a grinding beat with penetrating chords. The minute-long snippet sounds like another massive dance floor banger ready to be tested on crowds at MMW. Samson will officially release “Go” through his new record label Rock the Houze on April 8, but expect the track to be heard across the beaches of Miami next week.
When Sidney Samson says move, you listen. Coming off the success of his synthy collab with Martin Garrix, “Torrent,” the Dutch producer is back with the aptly titled “Move.” The track kicks off with a tech intro that builds into full-fledged electro, with a grimy beat and a thrown in “what” or two. Incorporating snare builds and a siren that rises along with them, “Move” is classic Sidney with a festival-ready kick.

Sidney Samson has risen above his Rock The Houze productions, leaped over his Dutch bleeps, and has landed one of his biggest productions to date on Tiësto’s Musical Freedom imprint. Bulkier than his most recent “Dutchland” and packed with more energy than his Will.I.Am collaboration, “Better Than Yesterday,” Sidney’s work with Martin Garrix aims straight at the big room. “Torrent” is signature Musical Freedom with its festival-sized appeal, but remains Dutch from the sonic synths to the roaring builds.

As a DJ, it is a cruel thing to tease your fans for months while they anxiously await the release of your newest single. After many long weeks of holding out for more information, some fans may be driven to extreme forms of madness, while others will probably resort to sitting in front of their computers, hitting refresh for hours on end. Who knows–we all handle stress differently. The elusive culprit, in this case, is Dutch producer Sidney Samson. Since debuting the first preview of his latest collaboration with Martin Garrix last December, Samson has done little to quench the thirst of his countless fans who are (literally) itching to drink his kool-aid and get a taste of what is yet to come.
Sidney Samson took you to the pop arena alongside Will.I.Am with his last release, “Better Than Yesterday,” but is returning to his roots this week with “Dutchland.” Layered with synth progression and Dutch bleeps of all intervals, Samson’s latest offering brings forth the signature sound fitting for his own Rock The Houze imprint. Catch Sidney back to basics on his latest release and purchase “Dutchland” from Beatport today.

Sidney Samson makes his pop crossover with a superstar who isn’t new to the electronic music world, Will.I.Am. Following “Dutchland,” Sidney comes back with an original mix for the clubs, an absolute party starter and energy booster, “Better Than Yesterday.” With Black Eyed Peas frontman on the vocal, this track can go either way — straight to the radio or deep into the night life scene. The beat comes with deeper progression and less bleeps than we are used to from Samson, but is packaged for infectious dance action. Head to Beatport for the release of “Better Than Yesterday” before it lands on Will.I.Am’s forthcoming album.
