Surrealism Up Late: Sampology

As the 'Dos said, “you gotta face facts, he's a little wizard. He mixes s-s-s-sound and v-v-v-video. I effing hate most wizards, but he's a top bloke'.

Sampology isn't something you can just learn at school, though sometimes I wish it were on the curriculum.

Sam Poggioli aka Sampology has moved Peaches to breakdance and has enjoyed success with his remix of PNAU's Baby back in 2008. Of late, the self-named audio visual disc jockey (AVDJ) has been scratching his way to the surface with Super Audio Smashdowns (as awesome as they sound). He madly manipulates video and sound, with excerpts from TV shows, YouTube clips and VHS finds and throws it all together with heavy beats and a cheeky sense of humour. His presence at Surrealism: Up Late will be pretty significant, as he is prime real estate at the mo', I mean, he just finished his US tour, which saw him playing at Texas’ SXSW, and also in New York and LA.

As if that wasn't enough, did I mention he's the infamous Jaydos' favourite AVDJ? As the 'Dos said, “you gotta face facts, he's a little wizard. He mixes s-s-s-sound and v-v-v-video. I effing hate most wizards, but he's a top bloke". Can't argue with that kind of logic.
