Disco-sampling Sammy Deuce debuts on Kookoo with “Funn,” digging deep through the samples to produce a timeless slice of dancefloor joy.
You may know Sam Young as Vanilla ACE, the alias he began in 2012 which has been responsible for a string of Beatport Number 1 tracks such as “Bring It Back” on OFF Recordings and “The Gee” on Club Sweat. Beyond those, Sam has released as Vanilla Ace on various esteemed labels such as Toolroom, Suara, Nervous, Hot Boi, and Kittball, just to name a few.
Last year Sam also launched a new alias, Sammy Deuce which focussed on his love for proper house music with influences of disco, soul and jackin, sampling obscure records and putting out music on Glasgow Underground and Nurvous.
Finally, Sam recently launched his own label Wyldcard on which he’ll be putting out music from some of his favourite under-appreciated artists over the coming months. Needless to say, he has been busy and it’s easy to see why with plenty of talent both in the studio and behind the decks.
Anyone familiar with Sam knows he is keen on sampling, often drawing inspiration from obscure records to produce hits that get dance floors moving.
Below, he shares some of the best obscure tracks he has sampled in his career.
