As fresh as its name suggests, Sammy Virji's sophomore album, Same Day Cleaning, delivers swift UKG, grime, and dance shine with style and musicality. From the horns on its opener, "One For The Books," to the strings on "Burn The River," the 16-track LP is a playground for instrumental texture and garage innovation. On it, old-school and contemporary influences collide, tangling in a toe-tapping future nostalgia that sounds like nothing else in dance/electronic's ether. Listen below.
Featuring collaborations with in-demand talents like Chris Lake, Flowdan, Skepta, and salute, Same Day Cleaning decisively evades the sophomore slump, affirming Virji's status as one of dance/electronic's newest evergreen talents.
Same Day Cleaning is out now via Capitol Records UK. Buy it on Beatport, and catch the English selector live at London's Alexandra Palace from April 17 through 18, where he'll take over the 10,000-capacity venue for his largest hometown headline shows yet.
