New Homepage

I decided to change my DJ name and feel it's time to start a new website. The reason for this name change is a kind of 'stepping to a new level'. First, now I have the experience of my first gig under my belt, and second, I finally moved from low-budget equipment to *almost* second-to-none gear. The third and most important reason is that 'Progetto Paperino' is annoyingly long name to write again and again and again… Anyway, the first step of my "progetto" (=project) is now taken and the homepage of DJ Sam-El sees the daylight:

The First Gig

It seems I haven't posted here in ages, which is mostly caused by my time-consuming summer job. So there hasn't been much any DJing activity. At least not until today, since I played a set this afternoon on the Pyynikki beach in Tampere :) The Romance Event and 33100 organize every sunny summer Sunday some cool relaxed music on the beach and today I was invited and honoured to start the show with approx. 1,5 h set (thanks to DJ Flight for the chance).

As the scene wasn't filled with extremely enthusiastic party people but about 200 sunbathers enjoying the fine weather, I left the most banging tunes home and went with a bit little slower and relaxing house music. I don't remember 100 % accurately what I played (I was so nervous...) but this tracklist must be quite close to the truth:
