Dave + Sam team up with Defected Records to drop ‘Not The Same’
Dance duo Dave + Sam present their follow-up single ‘Not The Same’, hot on the heels of previous Classic single ‘Just A Man’. The two established artists joined forces back in 2016, bursting onto the scene with unique tracks that combine hip hop and various rhythmic genres with modern house sensibilities and outside-the-box thinking. Working closely with Classic, the New York and Los Angeles based artists quickly established a signature Dave + Sam feel and continued to impress tastemakers worldwide with their subsequent releases. For this latest release, ‘Not The Same’, the pair deliver a more minimal outing, focusing on addictive repeated lyrics that carry a stoic bravado while electronic pulses twist the track into something much darker.
Chicago-bred, LA-based MC and Grammy-Award winning songwriter (Beyonce, Honey Dijon) Dave Giles II provides vocals alongside the funk-laden, soulful arrangements of New York DJ and producer Sam O.B to create the future of dance music as Dave + Sam.
The genre-defying duo’s singles with Moodswing Music are progressive pop confessionals that further their mission to package love, empowerment, and social commentary atop a globally-informed fusion of house, hip hop, and electronic dance.
