Our mission
Our primary mission is to become your go-to source for discovering house music. Every time you find out about an event or the latest release by your favourite producer that you wouldn’t have discovered otherwise because an algorithm decided not to show it to you, we are inching closer to our goal.
Our secondary mission is to promote house music coming from the Adriatic region, as we firmly believe that this region has a lot to offer to the global house music scene.
Our principles
Fast and simple to use. We aim for as little friction as possible between you and the music. Our website reflects that by not looking like it was last updated in the 90s.
Anti-buzzwords. We have no interest in crypto, NFTs, AI-generated music, or any other nonsense coming from Silicon Valley in an attempt to stifle human creativity. We believe that the future of house music should be the same as its past: physical and human.
Grounded in history. Whether discussing the local scene or house music as a global phenomenon, we always like to think about how the current situation fits into the historic context of the scene as a whole.
What does your name represent?
“Samo” means “only” in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian. Our brand name represents our answer to an age-old question of “what are you listening to?” That said, we do listen to and cover more tasteful sides of techno and pretty much anything else with a 4x4 beat.
Why house music?
You can’t deny house music. Doesn’t matter what style of music you like, if you like music, you like house — you just haven’t realised it yet.

We send people to the dancefloor
Nobody cares about page views. What matters is how many people we can send to the ticketing platform(s). If the tickets to your event are available for pre-sale, we will and have likely already sent people there.

Why English?
Since one of our goals is to promote local producers internationally, English is the obvious choice to do so. We also believe our local audience is educated enough to understand it and want to be approachable to tourists who decide to spend their vacation in the region.
