Sam Davies

Here’s my interview with @casisdead, a rare, genuine modern enigma, a real artist and underneath it all a nice guy. Talked about drugs and death mostly. First time he’s ever done this theface.com/music/casisdea…

Follow me on instagram pls. I’m more active and better looking on there

The Mix 044: @cell_m8 📳 The anonymous producer shares an 100% production mix and texts @samdavies313 their thoughts on modern club music, y2k nostalgia and why phones should be dumb again. Check it: bit.ly/themix044cellm8

To me @DJEZOfficial is the finest DJ Britain ever produced, the Technics Hendrix and icon of UKG. Here’s me asking him about receiving threats before sets, not drinking and people thinking he’s autistic. Also ft @I_Skream & @ElizaRosemuzik 🧢 theguardian.com/music/2024/nov…

Here’s my review of the newish Streets fabric mix, which is very good and a quality indication of the health of uk club music rn. Also saw Skinner for like the 6th time at Glasto and he’s still an absolute whopper of a man

Spoke to @Durrtygoodzfm, one of the best MCs ever to hold a mic, for @residentadvisor rewind, a story that has everything told through the lens of a record that could have been a turning point in grime. Ft @bassclefbass & @Kromestar7 ra.co/reviews/36130

Something I wrote about Rinse FM, the backbone of most good UK music for the last 30 years. Feat. the tireless legend @geeneus, the lovely @__sim0ne_ and me fangirling over @KatyB, who I’ve worshipped since I was about 14 dazeddigital.com/music/article/…

Spoke to @vegynvegyn about what it’s like to be one of the defining electronic musicians of the era. Includes questions about Frank, Travis, AI, suicide, politics, Aphex, happiness and interviews. He answered pretty much all of them the same way rollingstone.com/music/music-fe…

My feline Burial scoop has gone the same way as Speedball 2 but don't miss the rest of my Hyperdub history so far

Here’s my history of @Hyperdub ft @kodenine @LoJamMusic @jessy_lanza @heavee773 @GambleLee and me raving to Aya in fabric at 6am. Found out that Burial is a cat person, among other stuff dazeddigital.com/music/article/…

@FootworkMonitor Ah I beg your pardon. What I mean is I can’t footwork.

oh damn @samdavies313 - “The crowd is about three times as lively during Kode9’s second hour, even though nobody here can dance to footwork”. front, left had the circle. not to mention a certain rp boo… dazeddigital.com/music/article/…

Review of the debut @pugilistwheelup album here from me. I think he changed the name from Serenity but whatever, this is excellent food

Interview here with the always excellent @Jlin_P about her new album, which is mental. Talked about the state of footwork and her relationships with @philipglass @bjork and of course DJ Rashad. Also a brief mention of aphex twin mixmag.net/feature/jlin-i…

I read this story in its first draft the weekend Lee passed. It's an incredible account of a man who did so much, and it really is a true honour that we got to tell it. Standing on the shoulders of giants here. A proper legends tale, written by the tremendous @samdavies313

@razatari Feel like I’ve done some sick things this year and got a lot more readers than ever before but I would like the record to show that I still think most of the people in this industry are cunts. See you in 2024.

@razatari 1. Got an expenses paid trip to Paris to interview Steve Aoki for the newspaper that once published the Sex & the City articles. Ended up getting told off when the piece came out because nobody had considered that I might think he’s shit. Anyway observer.com/2023/05/steve-…

My year is now done so in the spirit of list season these are the 12 best things I wrote this year
