Sam Michelle Wants You On The Dance Floor With ‘POP X 4’
Samantha or Sam Michelle releases her new vibrant afro-pop single ‘POP X 4’. One of the most in-demand DJs right now, Michelle knows what the people want. And what will put them on the dance floor.
Who is Sam Michelle?
Samantha Michelle has been killing some of the hottest dancefloors in the world. Fashion Week, Cannes, Burning Man, and the notorious Berlin KitKat Club just to name a few. This track has a funky house vibe. Bright, groovy, with an afro-pop vibe to get your feet moving. Michelle was inspired to bridge cultures and combine sounds she felt inspired by. She says,
“In my first original track, I wanted to lead with something groovy and amapiano inspired; also accessible and bright (summer in LA-made), harmonizing popular sensibilities with diverse elements like rolling log drums and a Santana-inspired riff. With spliced & looped samples and spaced dropouts, I wanted it to feel delivered by a DJ who loves to connect with the crowd. I wanted it to feel both from here and also drawn from the world’s farthest corners, bridging cultures and sonic traditions, serving up something sweet and fun but also sexy and, in a word, a vibe.”
Although Michelle makes music that sounds good to her, a large part of her process is seeing what the crowd likes. Her sophisticated approach opens her to a large variety of different genres. In addition to the sets she has done by herself, she was half of the duo The Smoking Guns. Opening for big names like Duran Duran and Mark Ronson. But Sam Michelle is moving forward.
‘POP X 4’ is her unleashing this new era. Embracing something uniquely hers and showing off her production value. This is only the beginning of Michelle’s ongoing ventures into sharing her vibe and sound with those who have yet to experience it.
