Fresh off Organik Festival, armed with releases on Dekmantel and Permanent Vacation and acclaimed by Resident Advisor, Chinese-German artist 𝗦𝗮𝗺 𝗚𝗼𝗸𝘂 comes to RASA Floor to play a house & techno set, with RASA residents Loyboy and Leland on support.

Raised in Germany by Chinese parents, Sam Goku grew up surrounded by music, from his mother's Chinese pop favourites to the Western sounds he discovered in his youth. This dual heritage has become a defining element of his work, inspiring him to incorporate traditional East Asian instrumentation and melodic sensibilities into contemporary electronic music production.

Sam Goku is known for his “Glistening Club Music” series and his acclaimed album Things We See When We Look Closer, released on Permanent Vacation Records. Created during the pandemic, the album explores themes of tranquility and introspection, inspired by nature and childhood memories of China. In March 2025, he released his Explorations EP on the same label, describing it as a playground for a more house-oriented sound.

Sam Goku's productions and DJ sets move between ambient, breakbeat, house, and dancefloor-ready techno, while maintaining a signature warmth and organic quality.

Outside the studio, Sam Goku has performed at venues such as Panorama Bar, Tresor, About Blank, and Else in Berlin and is a regular presence on platforms like Radio 80000, where he hosts the “Yellow River Radio” show.

Whether behind the decks or in the studio, Sam Goku marries Asian and Western cultures with electronic music subgenres while inviting listeners into his peaceful sonic world.
