Biografie
Sam Mitcham [also known as trance producer 'phaseFOUR' and tech house dj 'Babushka!'] is a 26 year old rising star in the world of electronic dance music. Originally from Hereford in the West Midlands, the DJ/producer now lives between York and Ibiza. In the last 2 year's he has featured on lineups at some of the UK's biggest Tech, Trance and Hard Dance events including The Warehouse Project, Passion, Off The Rails and Insomniacz at Magna. Not only that, but spending the summer in Ibiza earned him regular sets for brands and clubs such as Space, Ibiza Rocks, Tidy, Atomik, Kiddfectious and Cream Ibiza parties to name a few!
2011 saw Sam make his impressive debut for 2 major dance brands, including 'Colours' and thier 10 year running Glaswegian festival 'Coloursfest', as well as closing the main room at Air for global dance pioneer Godskitchen, which resulted in him being invited back a further 2 times to play including NYE. To further this, October witnessed him break into the Tranceaddict Top 250 Dj poll at a respectable 163 [New Entry].
Continuing his Trance invasion into 2012, Sam's success at Godskitchen presented him with the honor of playing the final ever set in the main room at Air for the massive SixFiveTwelve event before the brand moved to its new home; the HMV Institute [Sanctuary] after 12 years of incredible events. For Sam this was an honor like no other, as Godskitchen at Air was where his clubbing romance first started back in 2005 on his 18th Birthday. Shortly after this Sam moved back over to ibiza for the summer to co-run and dj at Driftwood; Ibiza's only trance boat party, with business partner and good friend Alex Ryan.
If that wasn't enough, July would then see Sam make his debut at Cream Ibiza and live out every budding dj's dream by closing the main room of Amnesia after Above & Beyond and Gareth Emery to a totally packed out club. Add this to a weekly residency on his boat party alongside brands such as Subculture, Pure Trance, J00F Editions and Enhanced and 2012 has proved to be his most successful summer yet.
His hard work over the last 12 months has also not gone unnoticed by his supporters, with him jumping a massive 72 places in the 2012 Tranceaddict top250 DJ poll to number 91!
2013 saw Sam focus all efforts on production, with his first collaboration 'Sleep Paralysis' signed to underground trance label Defcon Recordings, receiving credit from global music magazine - Mixmag. A month later would see him and good friend James Alexander put their mark on the classic 'PUSH - Universal Nation', gaining surprise support from non other than Aly & Fila at the A State of Trance 600 Den Bosh event to 30,000 people. With a influx of videos instantly uploaded to youtube and facebook of this slamming new mystery remix which saw Den Bosh set on fire, as well as sound clips ripped from the live broadcasting and posted on all the major trance forums, it soon emerged that Sam and James were responsible for the remix and were hunted down and signed by Mike Push himself to original label Bonzai, as the official 2013 remix. Their remix gained support from nearly every major name in the industry and flew into the beatport top 100 at 72, staying in for 6 weeks peaking at an impressive 15 place. Not bad for a track that was made for fun!
With his feet now firmly placed in production as well as djing, Sam is currently working on some solo projects as well as collaborations with some of the UK's most respected artists. Keep your eyes peeled on Sam over the next few months for news on these projects, productions and release dates.
