It is love, passion, some kind of religion and strong DNA. SAMANTA got interested in electronic music when she was only 12 years old. In the beginning, it was just a hobby, but when she turned 17, she got a chance to play her first DJ gig at the school discotheque. That first step gave her more confidence and inspired her to search for her own individual musical path. She learned the technical skills and began to play at private parties, which helped her to define her musical taste. Soon she was already playing at the best nightclubs and festivals of her home country Lithuania. The exciting music journey brought her to the BURN Residency DJ competition in 2014, where she finished in 4th place among the best Baltic DJs. After a year of hard work on her skills, 2015 was marked as a year of much bigger changes. SAMANTA became the official winner of the BURN Residency 2015 competition and ruled over 7000 other contestants from 133 countries. She became a seasonal resident at rewarded club Space Ibiza, where she was playing for Carl Cox’s legendary Revolution parties. Life has changed in all the possible ways as together with new achievements and experiences, she had a weekly music show at Ibiza Sonica radio, where she was playing as one of the BURN Residency DJs. After winning the competition SAMANTA was still playing her monthly compilations on this radio, only this time as a winner. Despite her new status in the DJing career, each time she was preparing with the same passion, accuracy, love and devotion. DJing is not just some good tracks or intensive clicking of buttons, each moment you have to be starving for new sounds, personal growth and these special moments you share with all the people. It’s techno magic that never ends even while you sleep. After winning the competition SAMANTA was met with a huge welcoming party in Lithuania, where she played with special guests of the night – M.A.N.D.Y and Olivier Giacomotto. During her trips to Ibiza, on a special boat party, she also had an opportunity to warm up a legendary Pete Tong. SAMANTA had a chance to share the same decks with Dubfire many times during their tour around South America and Europe. Also, she played with Adam Beyer, Shaded, Oliver Huntemann, Kenny Glasgow, Fabio Florido, Ben Pearce, Format B, Marika Rossa, Stephen Bodzin, Boris Brejcha, Daniel Bortz, Carlo Lio and John Digweed. After meeting John, she was invited to prepare her mix for his iconic radio show Transitions. After that SAMANTA has played in Argentina, Columbia, Mexico, Austria, Sweden, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Italy, England, Germany, Poland and India, including Medusa Festival, Summerburst Baltic, Audioriver and Sonar festivals. Sounds like a dream, but no dreams come true without believing and hard working. SAMANTA released her debut EP, “Abandon” in 2017, landing via Philip Bader’s Out Of Mind Records. As described in djmag.com, it’s based around beefy kicks and twisted, growling vocal snippets that have warehouse walls shaking across the globe. The “Abandon” track was played by one of the best DJs – Charlotte De Witte at the DJ Mag ADE event. On the Beatport Techno Chart, the 4-tracker “Bunda” EP peaked at 88th place. SAMANTA’s EP is on Metodi Hristov’s highly respected ‘’Set About’’ label and the track ‘’Hey Robot’’ also peaked at 79th place on Beatport. At the end of 2020 SAMANTA released a track ‘’Hello’’, on well-known Pan-Pot’s label “Second State”. The journal of electronic music “Vanity Dust” mentioned that the good thing about techno, or one of its virtues, is the ability to move completely in the abstract, with which you can make a great song saying only “Hello” with a robotic voice. While groups like U2 say “Hello, Hello”! SAMANTA orchestrated a rhythmic, captivating and highly danceable song only with “Hello”. No doubt that SAMANTA is ready to revolutionize the industry with her fresh beats because when you are sure of what you want to do for the rest of your life, you do your best.
