Rising Brooklyn remixer and party maestro Sammy Bananas lives up to his name by crafting ecstatic tracks that ditch trendy production tricks in favor of pure pop satisfaction. He's already remixed the likes of Chromeo, Kid Cudi and Passion Pit, and his latest Fool's Gold EP Braids & Fades is a tribute to the biker-shorted divas of the 1990s, chopping up their r&b hits into uptempo club tracks. The approach has already made fans out of influential BBC DJ Annie Mac and platinum producer will.i.am, who ran up to the DJ booth at a recent LA show to shout "YOU made this?!?" The new record is a follow up to the equally catchy and early 90s rooted High Top Fades EP which saw release in late 2007. Sammy stunned the DJ community in early '08 with his inventive bootleg of N.E.R.D's "Everyone Nose" which he rechristened as "All The Girls." He debuted the remix on the Screaming Bloody Murder tour in which he traveled North America with A-Trak, Sinden and Steve Aoki. The track was played across the world and became a staple in sets by heavyweights like A-Trak and Flosstradamus. Earlier this year he released Tittsworth's "WTF" on T&A Records as well as Trackademic's "Enjoy What You Do" on Fool's Gold. After tours through both Europe and Australia in late '08, Sammy hit the ground sprinting in 2009 with hit remixes of Thunderheist and Passion Pit. With releases of his first fully original tracks on the horizon, he is keeping busy through a stacked tour schedule and with Telephoned, his cover-song collaboration with singer Maggie Horn.
