Come backstage and meet Sampology!
 
The Brisbane-based artist, producer, and DJ and I talked about his very favorite venue to play, why record stores are so important, the genius of broken beat, taking inspiration from the outdoors, and the making of his fantastic new album, Regrowth.

Plus Sam played a favorite remix from the Avalanches, his favorite broken beat tune, his new single “Suffer and Swim” featuring 30/70’s Allysha Joy, and more.
