Samurai Breaks DJ Set 📍 WORMS | Bass Music, Jungle

Samurai Breaks is the alias of UK producer and DJ Sam Langley Grattan, whose first release arrived in 2016 when Halogen Music issued the single My Sound / Run. Samurai Breaks was born in Scotland, grew up in Yorkshire and shaped his style through DJ sessions with friends and by tinkering with chopped-up drums. CLASH traces Samurai Breaks to the Leeds music scene and notes his releases on Hooversound and Rua Sound. Drum and Bass UK says the music of Samurai Breaks spans jungle, footwork and rave as well as quick 4x4 grooves. In 2020 Off Me Nut Records issued Acid Puma Racing Stripes, an album by Samurai Breaks that came before his Turbo Rave Artillery EP. In 2021 Samurai Breaks set up Super Sonic Booty Bangers with D'tch as a combined label and events project. Drop The Bass notes that Samurai Breaks put out the Wavelord Bizniz EP with Napes in 2024 and has played b2b sets with artists such as Sully, Pete Cannon, NAINA, Fixate, Addison Groove and Mandidextrous. In a May 2024 feature on seven jungle artists, CLASH described Samurai Breaks as a standout figure in the club continuum. DJ Mag gave Samurai Breaks its 2021 award for breakthrough producer.
