Jeff Samuel-Biography
Jeff Samuel's background in music all began from the date of birth, born and raised in the rock capital of the U.S., Cleveland, Ohio. His current studio work just may be the actual contrary to the rock and hip hop influences of his earlier days, luckily for us, Jeff became drawn to techno in the mid 1990's and credits much of that to the techno events thrown by the Columbus Collective--- Elemental. The Collective included artists such as Titonton Duvante, Todd Sines, and Charles Noel (Archetype). It was a first time experience hearing Daniel Bell and Robert Hood which became Jeff's biggest musical influences to date.
Moving fast forward to the present, the former Ohio native, soon packed up his bags shortly in 2002 and headed out west to Seattle to pursue a second career in the video game industry, where he spends his days creating video game sound effects. Even with the heavy workload, Jeff also has a current bi-weekly residency in Seattle (Club Contour) where he has the opportunity to influence the local sound with a consistent music policy of tech-house and electro. In an industry where anthems seem to rule, this 8 year DJ veteran makes it his policy to keep each set different and he constantly tests the limits by playing challenging tunes for a dancing crowd but still has the ability to keep their feet moving at all times. If the crowd is up for it, you could even possible catch Jeff using some of his unique trick-oriented elements of mixing (Detroit style) which is also something he attributes to some of his influential favorites such as Derrick May, Jeff Mills and Claude Young.
Jeff is no stranger to the studio; most recently he has released the "Blap EP" which is featured on Steve Bug's popular, German tech label, Poker Flat. He also has a growing list of accomplishments in the studio with signature tracks that range from dubby house, to minimal and tech releases, including "New Joob" (2001) on Dan Bell's (DBX) label 7th City, including a number of releases on Trapez which also plays hosts to the quirkier sounds of techno. With artists such as Ricardo Villalobos and Michael Mayer also remixing his work, it is quite apparent that Jeff is a key player in techno (and the subgenres that surround it) that many labels and artists want to keep up with. He also dabbles in the downtempo genre (releases on Emoticon) in his spare time proving that he has quite a gift for creating and also knowing what music will work anywhere for dancefloors to everyday listening environments.
During his career, some of his highlights come from having the opportunity to take his music all over the world, from gigs in Chicago, New York to Japan and takes great pride in having the chance to be a part of the 7th City events at the original DEMF events in Detroit. With plans to continue to push his quality sound out onto more record releases in the new year, we should also expect a full European Tour in Spring 2004. In a competitive market where present day techno is heavily influenced by the sounds of Germany, this American producer has been able to reach fans of all spectrums, all over the globe through his diverse background and talent-Jeff Samuel is definitely one to watch out for in the studio and on the decks, don't miss out on this talented star!
