The producer most responsible for UK garage's current mainstream moment — bouncy, gleeful, impossible to stand still to, flip after flip after flip.

Sammy Virji is a producer and DJ from London working in UK garage and bassline. He built an audience through club tracks and edits circulated on SoundCloud and in DJ sets before wider attention arrived in the 2020s, as garage-derived sounds returned to British dance floors and radio.

His productions lean on two-step and four-to-the-floor rhythms, sub-heavy basslines and chopped vocal samples, often reworking familiar pop and R&B hooks. He has collaborated with rappers and singers from outside dance music, including a 2024 single with Skepta, and his sets tend to move quickly between his own material and rapid-fire edits.
