A Turkish beatmaker inspired by Dirty South hip-hop suppliers like DJ Screw, Sami Baha crafts slow, moody songs with miles-deep bass and explosive samples. Baha was created in Istanbul, and his music is definitely heavily educated by the favorite Turkish music (or Arabesk) that he was raised with, actually if …

T_A_M may be the pseudonym of Thomas Emslie, an electric manufacturer from Aberdeen, Scotland. His sharpened, angular bass shades are clearly up to date by grime, but there’s a little more of the club-focused propulsion to his monitors.
