Hey, electronic music lovers! If you're anything like me, you're always hunting for that next track that hits just right – the kind with hypnotic grooves that pull you onto the dancefloor and soulful melodies that linger long after the beat drops. Well, Belgian powerhouse Samm (BE) just dropped "Imagination" on his own Magnifik Music label, and it's pure fire. Blending tribal Afro house rhythms with the emotive depths of melodic house and deep house, this one feels like a warm sunset vibe wrapped in pulsating energy. In a year where Afro house is exploding globally – think viral TikTok dances, Boiler Room sets going mega, and festivals craving those organic, rhythmic sounds – Samm is right at the heart of it all.
Samm, the Antwerp-based artist, writer, and producer, has been on an absolute tear in 2025. His breakout solo hit "Body Language" stormed to #1 on Beatport's House chart and snagged an Essential New Tune spot from Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1. That same year, his collab remix of WhoMadeWho’s "All The Love" got the same honor, and he delivered not one but two official remixes for RÜFÜS DU SOL’s Inhale / Exhale album. Talk about momentum! Earlier collabs like "Back To Life" with Adriatique and "Love’s A Game" show his knack for crafting tracks that big names can't resist. With 2 million monthly Spotify listeners and support from heavyweights like RÜFÜS DU SOL, Keinemusik, Black Coffee, Carl Cox, Vintage Culture, Jamie Jones, BLOND:ISH, and CamelPhat, it's no wonder his releases land on top-tier labels such as Defected, Rose Avenue, Siamese, X, and The Moment.
What makes "Imagination" stand out in the crowded Afro house and melodic house scene? It's that perfect fusion Samm does so well. The track dives into deep basslines, warm synths, and fluid percussion that scream tribal Afro house energy, while layering in those soulful, hypnotic melodies that define melodic house and keep things immersive for deep house fans. Samm himself describes it as an emotional journey with uplifting moments designed to move festival crowds – and coming hot off his summer successes, including sold-out Magnifik events and a Tomorrowland stage host, you know it's been road-tested on massive soundsystems. His DJ sets have lit up iconic spots like Pacha, Sound LA, Scorpios, OFFSónar Barcelona, and Playa Soleil, proving his sound translates everywhere from intimate clubs to huge festivals like Pukkelpop and Voodoo Village.
As co-founder of Magnifik – a label and cultural movement curating those immersive global dance experiences – Samm is building something bigger than just tracks. With his touring schedule blowing up and more collabs on the horizon, he's solidly one of the defining voices in electronic music right now. Afro house in 2025 is all about that global boom, blending African rhythms with electronic edges, and melodic house is leaning into emotional, minimal grooves – Samm nails both, making "Imagination" a must-add to your playlists.
