Sammy Virji

Samuel Bashir Virji, born 30 September 1996, is an English DJ and record producer who has become one of the defining voices in the contemporary UK garage and bass music revival. Born in London and raised in Witney, he attended Newcastle University before leaving to pursue music full-time — a decision that proved well-timed as the UK garage scene began attracting renewed international attention. His musical lineage is personal: his father Fayyaz Virji played trombone on Lauryn Hill's landmark 1998 album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, placing him within a household where music was embedded in professional life from childhood. Virji gained initial widespread attention in 2017 with his 'Never Let You Go' edit, which spread rapidly through SoundCloud and established him within the UK garage community as a producer with authentic roots in the genre's original sound. His debut LP Spice Up My Life reached number seven on the UK Dance Albums Chart in 2020, and subsequent EPs We'll Be Alright (2021) and Blue Breeze (2022) consolidated his position within the new wave of UK garage. In 2023, he broke into the Official UK Singles Chart with the viral hit 'If U Need It'. His 2025 album Same Day Cleaning, released via Polydor and Capitol UK, featured collaborations with Skepta, Giggs, MJ Cole, Tuff Jam, and Issey Cross — a roster that placed him squarely within UK music's broader cultural conversation. His EDC Las Vegas 2026 appearance on circuitGROUNDS Night 2 brings the UK bass sound to one of North America's largest electronic music festival stages.
