Egypt-born, South Sudanese DJ/producer Sam Alfred Melbourne-based rising star celebrated for reviving 90s-inflected house and UK garage with jazz-tinged warmth and infectious grooves. His breakout track “Forward Step (Journey Mix)” (Gallery Recordings, 2024) delivers euphoric piano chords, rave stabs, and fizzling speech samples, leading to sold-out shows across Australia, Asia, Europe, and a Mix Up residency on triple j. With a vibrant stylistic palette and high-energy presence, he’s become one of Australia’s most compelling dance exports, headlining major festivals and earning acclaim as a breakout global talent.
