Happa

Bass & Techno to soundcloud. He quickly won the praises of tastemakers including
Loefah, Skream, Annie Mac, and Ben UFO. The same year he remixed Vondelpark (R&S)
and Four Tet (Text) whilst beginning to mix exclusive sets for Mary Anne Hobbs XFM show
and Mixmags ‘Mix of the week’. A lot to happen for a 15 year old. ”
His first 12″ release came on underground London label CHURCH which won more
support. 2013 saw some special releases from Happa come out on Boomkat and part of
Bleep’s Green Series, which young Samir displayed his direction moving towards the
tougher techno side of electronic music. His DJ career has seen him play at some of
the most prestigious venues and festivals around Europe including; Bestival, Glastonbury,
Dimensions Outlook, ADE, Warehouse Project, Golden Pudel, Sonar and Trouw to name
a few. ”

In 2015 his own label ‘Part Five Records’ was born along with his critically acclaimed ‘PT1
EP’ which displayed a qualitative axis shift for Happa; his aptitude at marrying pounding
beats with dark, ominous landscapes was sharpened to a knife edge, his way around a
foreboding bass has become laser like. In 2016 ‘PT2’ arrived and suggesting if PT 1 was
the product of a young artist refining his sound, PT 2 is the bass-heavy, hypnotic call to
arms of an artist with enough raw talent and perseverance to create something truly
astounding.
