Way back in 1988 Samuel bought his first mixer and a pair of regular turntables. That was his first step into the music business. Mixing everything from hiphop, house and techno he began to explore the phenomenon of mixing. In 1991 he formed a party organization with his friend Max Reich, and started to pull off parties around Gothenburg. During the same time Samuel also started spinning the wheels of steel outside his bedroom.
When Max got a proper studio in 1995, he felt it was time to take a step further, so he asked Max to teach him the basics about producing. A couple of months after that they formed Solid Beat, a techno label distributed by Neuton. As time went by Samuels skills became more and more polished, so he felt he was ready to move on by him self. Samuel needed to start something of his own.
So, 1997 was the year when the first Cycle came out in the shops. Titled 'Techno Soul Pt 1', it contained laidback grooves for cool out corners. In the first two years he only released three, but in late spring of 1999 he decided to really have a go on it.
And that's when things really took off for Samuel. 'In Your Box' became his breakthrough record. Being played by people like Derrick May, Jeff Mills, Umek among others, people out there really started to take notice of him. The following release, 'Check Out This I Bring' made him even shinier as a wider range of jockeys span his wax. The phone started to ring more and more frequently, asking for his services regarding spinning, remixing and releasing.
Before he put Cycle on a break in 2001 to form SLS, eleven releases had seen the light of day. Now with SLS on hand he felt trying out other parts of the spectrum .'New Soil' became the first one, a double pack filled with warm, more melodic grooves. The first track, 'Velvet', became a hit on the floors and were later being remixed by Safety Session and FunkDVoid. Since then, there has been records made and remixed by various people such as Slam, Andreas Saag, Hertz and Oliver Ho.
To sum up the history so far its been some thrilling years, and the last chapter is not even in sight as he is still in demand to spread that techfunk around the planet.
