Music Essentials: Samo Sound Boy

If you hadn’t already known, Samo Sound Boy is an electronic producer and DJ hailing from New York City, and is one half of musical duo DJ Dodger Stadium with co-producer/DJ Jerome LOL. As the owner of his label Body High, Samo — born Sam Griesemer — is an enthusiast of music and isn’t shy to show that in the Music Essentials he shares with us. In terms of production tools, Sam is a fiend for high-grade, classic gear…and a budget price, having in his possession gems such as the Roland Juno 106 and the TR-909, purchased on Craigslist. Other hardware of choice includes an SP-404 and an Eventide Space Reverb. He shares with us three of his favorite albums: Jackie Mitto’s Macka Fat LP, Prince’s Purple Rain, and Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska. On top of being a music enthusiast, he is an owner of a few rare music-related collectables, and here you will find an exclusive, limited-edition Michael Jackson HBO hat. Today is also an exciting day for the producer — after years of releasing EPs, Samo drops his debut solo album Begging Please.
