DJ Sammy is probably the most wellknown Spanish DJ and producer. The party king who was born on Mallorca in 1969, completed his training as a sound technican in Palma de Mallorca at an early age. He made his way into the clubs via his job as radio-DJ, at CANDENA TOP, the official techno/house broadcasting station of Mallorca. DJ Sammy has played for about 10 years in the trendiest European clubs and demonstrated a definite eye for hits.

With "Life Is Just A Game", DJ Sammy delivered the absolute Balearic Islands summer hit already in the summer of 1996. This was followed by the single "You're My Angel" to which for the first time also a video-clip was made. DJ Sammy managed the final breakthrough in 1997 when the single "Prince Of Love" shot up to number 24 of the German sales charts within a very short time. Since that time there has been no publication of DJ Sammy which has not reached the charts.

The debut album "Life Is Just A Game" with 15 DJ Sammy tracks in total which was published in June 1999, was the dance album which placed highest in the German charts that summer.

In January 1999 the new single "In 2 Eternity" was released on which DJ Sammy presented himself in a completly new style. Even more clubbier than all publications so far, "In 2 Eternity" reaches the ear first and moves from there straight downinto the legs. Parallel to the single, the long awaited Live-DJ Set appeared on CD "DJ Sammy At Work". The mix-compilation entered the Top Ten of the German Compilation Charts. Already in June 1998, DJ Sammy started the pop project LOONA together with the singer Marie-José van der Kolk and proved that, with a total of more than 3.5 milion units sold, he is a natural with hits in the techno and house scene, but is also able to stir up the pop market.

Already the first LOONA-publication "Bailando" was awarded gold and platinum in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. With the following winter ballad "Hijo De La Luna" (No. 1 in Germany, No. 2 in Switzerland, and No. 3 in Austria) and the album "Lunita", DJ Sammy continued his producing career with almost unprecedented success. With the second LOONA-album "Entre Dos Aguas" and the first release of the single "Salvador Dali", DJ Sammy consequently follows his chosen path. In addition to his dance and pop productions, DJ Sammy constantly returns to his roots with additional projects in the progressive house and techno area. Under the pseudonym "Lovestern Galaktika meets le Petite Sam", he presented the unofficial hymn on the last Love Parade which in the same month climbed up to number 32 of the Media-Control.

In addition to all his production activities, DJ Sammy always returns with additional projects to the clubs where he came from.

The list of his guest appearances reads like the TOP TEN of the trendiest European dance temples (Dorian Gray/Frankfurt, E-Werk/Berlin, Kontor/Hamburg, Parkcafe/Munich, Pacha, Space, Privilege/Ibiza, Ministry of Sound/London) and only in the past year the enthusiastic man from Mallorca made more than 200 DJ-sets.
