Jeff Samuel's foray into electronic music began in 1995 when he first
witnessed a DJ set by Detroit's Claude Young in Columbus, Ohio. He was then
introduced to that city's ele_mental collective, an inspiring core of
artists including Titonton Duvante, the Archetype, and Todd Sines among
others. Through their concept-oriented events which showcased the finer
points of electronic music, Samuel became enthralled and began to DJ in
1996. Soon after, he purchased his first synth and drum machine.

While attending college in 1997, Jeff began exploring the possibilities of
software-based music production where he saw greater possibilities for
creativity and workflow. He encountered much scrutiny for attempting to
make techno using only a computer. Nevertheless, by 1998 he had started to
create his own completed tracks using an early version of Fruityloops (now
FL Studio). Music from his first demo was signed to the German label Lo-fi
Stereo. The Bidooba single was released in 1999 and featured a remix from
Kompakt's Michael Mayer. Other tracks from the same demo found their way to
minimal techno pioneer Daniel Bell, who released them on his 7th City label
in 2001.

Jeff pushed into the new millennium continuing his DJ career, releasing
more music, and completing his college degree in Audio Production
simultaneously. 2002 proved to be a significant year which saw his Digital
Self EP on Tektite remixed by Ricardo Villalobos, his abstract material
released by UK label Emoticon, and the beginning of a long relationship
with Cologne-based Trapez Recordings. He also left Ohio for Seattle where
he pursued a career as a Sound Designer in the videogame industry.

Today, Jeff Samuel is a sought-after remixer with a heavy DJ and production
schedule who still finds the time to make SFX for videogames. His records
are played by a diverse range of the world's most talented DJ's including:
Richie Hawtin, Sven Vath, Ricardo Villalobos, Francois K, Steve Bug,
Akufen, Craig Richards, Mazi, Claude Young, Timo Maas, Josh Wink, Electric
Indigo, Michael Mayer, and John Tejada. He is also currently the only
American DJ represented by the elusive Kompakt organization. Plans for the
future include a mix CD and debut LP.
