Last year, an enigmatic name seemed to appear out of thin-air. Sam Weston was apparently a fresh upstart in the Australian House-scene releasing a dusty collection of late-night/early-morning jams aptly titled Shiraz Voyager. With this rose-tinted house release in hand, Weston arrived on the scene and people took notice. The tape sold out within weeks. Thing was, Sam Weston was not a fresh-face at all. He was here all along, although more commonly known as one half of influential Sydney techno duo – Alba. Lorded for their brand of live-fire robotic grooves, Alba became trailblazers in a town more Miami than Berlin, where brooding and rolling hypnosis weren’t often preferred to fist pumping “bangers”. Wanting to flex his lovin’ spoonful of hypnotic lo-flung house, Weston decided to release a handful of edits on his Soundcloud. Immediate attention was conjured and Sam Weston released the aforementioned Shiraz Voyager EP to a pretty amazing response. Almost overnight, Australia had a new hero in Weston’s warm compositions that summon memories of sunny days and happier times.
