Review by Richert Gordon Salondaka
With a veritable plethora of fluff DJs out there on the scene, it’s nice to gain a fresh-baked perspective on breakbeat as dished out by the one and only DJ Samira. She appeals to the saucy side of me that loves to walk through The City like I own it and enter bars with no intention of buying my own drinks. Taking in one of Sam’s lyrical sets can leave you both antsy and a bit bewildered at the same time. A true bad ass and a born-and-bred breakbeat junkie, she spills out determined electronica with no excuses–lascivious, large, and loud! … Her deck work has yet to let me down, in two words: simply relentless! Some have expressed her style as impetuous and shameless while others have praised her as a purveyor of hypnotic beats and chic kitschy downtempo lounge. Like it or not, this “house babe” aspires to accomplish one result - and that is to make you get up on that dance floor and shake your thang: Gotta get me, gots to have me, some AmsterDAMN!!!
