Personality Test: Hey Sam

How would your mum describe you?

My mum would have nothing but good words to say about me… I hope. She thinks I'm pretty much a wedding DJ, so she doesn't have much of a clue but is still very supportive.

What's one genre you would remove off the face of the earth and why?

Country and Western. I grew up in a country town but have never been a fan. It's just plain annoying.

Who inspires you musically?

I can be inspired from massive international acts through to young local producers. When I hear a track for the first time that I automatically like without knowing the producer or anything, that inspires me.

Name three tracks currently detonating your dancefloor.

Combo! – Crazy High (Original Mix) [Jump To This]

Hey Sam – Stupid (John Baptiste Remix) [Jump To This]

Wellsaid & Rubberteeth – South Side Jam (Hey Sam Remix) [Suckmusic]

Tell us about a classic dancefloor moment.

It's a classic moment (in my mind) whenever I step onto the dancefloor.

What's the musical achievement you're most proud of?

I'm most proud of my record label Jump To This. I started it from nothing, without any idea of what I was doing but worked my way through it. I recently celebrated the label's second anniversary and can't wait to see how it grows in the future.

What's one record you're embarrassed to admit you own?

Psy- Gangnam Style? I wanted
to see what all the hype was about, haha.

Spike Milligan quipped he'd like his tombstone to read 'I told you I was ill' – what would be on yours?

'No need for my glasses now'

What's something that really annoys you?

Country and Western music.

Imagine you're on death row. What's your last meal request?

I can't believe this, but the first thing that popped into my head was Maccas.

Name one person living or dead you would love to party with and why.

I'ld like my Dad to come out and party again, but he won't after the last time. Let's just say he had a hangover for 3 days after we went out.

What's ruling your world at the moment?

I've got a new single on the way called Dope Sh!t with another Melbourne producer, Butters. I've just received some of the remixes and it's the happiest I've been with a package to date. We're still figuring out the release details but can't wait to get this one out.

What can we expect to hear from you in the near future?

On top of Dope Sh!t I've got another original track, Four Eyes out on my label this month as well as remixes for Melbourne labels doing big things, Suckmusic and Say Wat.
