Samson Timmer

Samson is an innovative producer and artist fusing live acoustic instrumentation with electronic music. A multi-instrumentalist with a background in classical music as well as long term experience in digital composition, he works using a blend of technical and traditional techniques to create a unique and emotionally resonant sound.
Samson grew up in London and began his journey into electronic music through DJ'ing at underground drum and bass parties and rising through notable clubs around the UK, including the Ministry of Sound, 02 Islington and a residency at Lakota. Seeing the excitement and energy of live electronic music, inspired him to create his own tracks. Inspired by a new wave of jazz artists, he began to explore bringing a childhood love of acoustic piano to the electronic experience, growing this into experimentation with multiple instruments from brass to harp. His work demonstrates a versatility that crosses genres, exploring bringing a soulful depth to an electronic soundscape.
As well as making his own instrumental tracks, Samson works closely producing for artists and vocalists, from musical arrangement to mastering and engineering. Most recently he collaborated with Indie-Soul artist Roxy Mash to produce and write up coming tracks 'Pretender' and 'Moonlight'.
