classical training and live performances in string quartets
and punk bands prepared her well for her career in techno
music. Sam's love for minimal tech-house takes her all over
the world to her new creative home in London. After her memorable
appearance at HEMF5 we're excited to have her back for more
of her wicked bass lines.

Tom
Foolery studies the practice of sound in healing,
chakras, energy flows, and kundalini. Mingling with the revered
house and techno scenes of the Midwest evolved his style into
an exciting nu sound for the dance floor. Tom's pension for
analog and classic hardware leads to a production technique
long forgotten although still going strong in the psy scene.
His years of studio work have led to a series of releases
including work with UK breaks producer Transformerman and
projects with legendary Florida breaks producer DJ Fixx. TomFoolery’s
sound continues to represent the cutting edge of the worldwide
breaks collective.
