SAM Futura spent the last decade shaping the sounds and scenes of South East Asia. Born in France, Sam moved to Hong Kong in 2014 where he helped build the community from the ground up through his music collective and booking agency Cliché Records. Along with three friends, Sam diversified and expanded HK’s underground, bringing fresh sounds to the city and the region.

In 2018, Sam moved to Hanoi, Vietnam, where he opened and handled the artistic direction of Northern Vietnam’s first house and techno club Savage – a location which soon become a renowned dance mecca shaping the sound of Hanoi’s underground. Savage acted as a playground for this discrete artist to explore his sonic edges and experiment in intimate settings. Crossing paths some of his great influences - such as John Talabot, Mascaras and nd_baumecker - had a major impact on him and inspired his direction to where he is today.

SAM Futura’s mixes are sonic explorations of 90s house, rave nostalgia and timeless energizing soul. Music is an outlet for this introspective artist to connect and communicate with listeners while sharing his mysterious and daring side. Sam FUTURA has played the region’s powerhouse venues including Beijing’s Zhao, Taipei’s Pawnshop and Saigon’s The Observatory, as well as local festivals Equation, Karma Konkrete and Sónar Hong Kong.

There’s no doubt the scenes of South East Asia have influenced Sam as much as he’s influenced them. Catch one of his sets and you’ll notice a sense of adventure and curiosity, as though the endless summers and tropical nights have seeped into his DNA.

In 2021, SAM Futura made the move back to the Fragrant Harbour, a city that has a special place in his heart, where he brings his signature sound and years of experience at the helm of South East Asia’s underground scene to 宀 club.
