- The DJ Dodger Stadium member will release his first solo full-length through Body High in April.
Samo Sound Boy is gearing up for his debut solo album, due out on April 28th.
Begging Please follows on from the release of last year's Friend Of Mine by DJ Dodger Stadium, Samo's collaborative project with fellow LA resident Jerome LOL. It's a more personal affair, with label Body High describing it as "an honest and unguarded story about love... [with] lush synth work, jagged percussion and hauntingly soulful samples [bringing] us into his autobiographical account of a relationship slowly breaking down." You can watch the video for first single "Baby Don't Stop" below.
"The idea that dance music could be considered one noted or lacking in depth has never made sense to me," Samo says. "I think the very simple way it builds up and down is so fundamentally reflective of living in the world. What's dark and brooding can give way to the most ecstatic moments, all because one small thing is added or subtracted. Begging Please is a story about the last couple years of my life, told best way I know how."
