When it came to │ │ musical trend, they established his reputation as that of setter rather │ │ than follower, tracking perhaps five or more years ahead of their time. │ │ │ │ In the second decade of the new millennium, Mr SamÆs largely set DJing │ │ to one side, focusing instead on other passions, music production and │ │ graphic design amongst them. The four releases (or æOpusÆ, æSecundoÆ, │ │ æTertioÆ and æQuartoÆ as they were known) seemed destined to remain a │ │ rampart for those prepared to look beyond the musical horizon of the │ │ time. │ │ That is all untilà well, you guessed it... Ten plus years after │ │ æQuartoÆ, Mr. Sam returns this June with his fifth æOpusÆ (Quinto, │ │ naturally). Along with it comes another two hundred and forty minutes │ │ of mind-expanding music, sounds and experiences that again promise to │ │ resonate deeper and live longer. │ │ │ │ So eclectic is its selection, that SamÆs series arguably owes no │ │ musical debt at all. If indeed it does though, likely itÆs solely to │ │ Sasha & DigweedÆs æNorthern ExposureÆ series. Mixing music whose focus │ │ is on atmosphere-generating sounds & effects is very much the opening │ │ forte of æOpus 5Æ. Tracks like Alan DixonÆs æRudyÆs SpectorÆ, æGhost In │ │ Me æ from Darla Jade & Nico de Andrea and Wolf StoryÆs æLife BeforeÆ │ │ all have their emphasis on mood, rather than movement. Indeed, itÆs │ │ almost fifteen minutes before Disc 01 develops anything more than a │ │ percussive pulse. When it does, the mix begins to reach down │ │ progressively lit avenues. Included in that are the voodoo-feels of │ │ MigosyÆs æMbambaÆ, TotorayÆs technotic æEverlastingÆ and the │ │ acidicaly-tipped æClavelÆ from Issac. │ │ │ │ ┌──────────────────────────────[ Tracklist ]─────────────────────────────┐ │ │ : : │ │ Disc 1 / 2 [ ] │ │ -------- [ ] │ │ [ ] │ │ 1.
