Show Notes
I can’t believe I actually had the audacity to invite today’s guest to my humble podcast because she is a woman far more accustomed to DJing on super yachts for the likes of The Jaggers, Richard Branson or Kate Moss.
She’s a queen of the Dancefloor turned wellness warrior, it’s Goldierocks!
Sam has had a WILD and very uniqiue life, so it was never in doubt that she would be loads of fun on the show. We talk all about how she went from freelancing at the NME, to DJing in Libya and the The 2012 Paralympic Opening Ceremony.
But of course there's the album and she chose a BLINDER! Sam fell in love with Tame Impala at a time when she moved to Australia, so what more fitting album, than they're game changer, Currents.
We cover a lot of ground in this episode, from sunburn on Super Yachts to sharing a bill with The Maccabees in Malawai.

"The very first “post-surf” band. This London four-piece (extended to five on stage) was formed in 2021 when Connie came to London from France and met Archie (bass) from Worcester and Steve (guitar) from York. They blended their influences so seamlessly that they had to invent an actual genre to describe their sound. “Post-surf” is a pun to the “post-punk” dominion over the London scene of the past decade, alluding to the twist operated by these boys: post-modern themes in their lyrics and reflections on the chaos of modern life, but the warm and soothing sun of 60s California on the surface, embodied by their trademark four-part harmonies, surf guitars, and inexplicably strange chords. Their first album, a series of haunting ballads expunged in an effort to shave down their growing catalog, was released in 2025. “Poorly Planned Missions… Executed Worse” features ten tracks dripping with the band’s sonic identity and commitment to writing a song that sounds like it could never be written twice. Having opened for acts like The Big Pink and The Molotovs, they are gearing up for the release of the much louder follow-up to their debut, a cinematic whirlpool of indie bangers, introduced by their brand new single ‘Neverknows’.”
