Sammy Virji – Moonlight [Positivia]
UK-based DJ/Producer Sammy Virji continues his hot streak into 2024 with his latest single ‘Moonlight’, out 19th January on Positiva / EMI Records.
Built around earworm vocal hooks, an irrepressible uptempo groove and woozy synth chords, ‘Moonlight’ is yet another immaculate example of Sammy Virji leading the charge in the Garage space and continuing to push the boundaries of how far the genre can go.
The release sees Sammy picking up where he left off in 2023, following his sold out headline London show at EartH late last year – a show which sold out within 24 hours of general sale – and his biggest Australia and New Zealand tour to date, with his debut North America tour also kicking off this month.
It’s been an incredibly exciting few months for Sammy following the release of his iconic single ‘Shella Verse’ with Flowdan, an unprecedented streaming/social growth following his viral DJ Mag stream, his sizzling remix of Unknown T’s ‘Goodums’ and his recent crossover sensation ‘If U Need it’. After several years of hard graft on the live circuit, Sammy is now truly one of the hottest artists in dance music right now.
The UK-based DJ/Producer has swiftly made his mark on the electronic music space, proving to be both a pioneer and innovator of the UKG renaissance. Over the last eight years, he’s crafted an ever-growing discography and unmissable live show which has propelled him to the forefront of UKG and underground UK Bass scene.
His impressive past achievements also continue to grow in 2024 as with Spotify Mint’s Ones To Watch, Radio 1 announcing him as their first Future Artist of the Month of the year as well as being confirmed as Soundcloud’s ascending artist at the end of 2023. Further accolades include a coveted Rinse FM residency, monthly sold-out ‘Like a Virjin’ and ‘Isn’t It’ tours, performances at renowned venues across the UK and Australia and a string of collaborations with the likes of Salute, Conducta, Flowdan and more.
