jeff samuel's foray into electronic music began in 1995 when he first witnessed a dj set by detroit's claude young in columbus, ohio. jeff was then introduced to that city's ele_mental collective, an inspiring core of artists which included ohio artists titonton duvante, the archetype and todd sines among others. through their concept-oriented events which showcased the finer points of electronic music, he became enthralled and began to dj in 1996. soon after, he purchased his first synth and drum machine.

while attending college in 1997, jeff began exploring the possibilities of software-based music production where he saw greater possibilities for creativity and workflow. he encountered much scrutiny for attempting to make techno using only a computer.

nevertheless, by 1998 he had started to create his own completed tracks using an early version of fruity loops (now fl studio). music from his first demo was signed to the german label lo-fi stereo. the “bidooba” single was released in 1999 .

other tracks from the same demo found their way to minimal techno pioneer daniel bell, who released them on his 7th city label in 2001.

jeff pushed into the new millennium continuing his dj career, releasing more music and completing his college degree in audio production simultaneously. 2002 proved to be a significant year which saw his ‘digital self' tektite ep remixed by ricardo villalobos, his abstract material released by uk label emoticon, and the beginning of a long and strong relationship with cologne-based label trapez on which he has released nine 12“s till 2006. most note full his track „knob“ which was remixed on trapez by steve bug .

jeff samuels do lp +cd „step“ was release in november 2006 on trapez. his first artist album is the result of seven years of producing. on it he sums up his influences and even takes it a step further including melodies to an extend, he has not ventured to do in the past. his 7 tracks on vinyl and 10 tracks on the cd version give the listener and clubber a good impression of what the person jeff samuel was busy with for the last 6 months.

and his one side 12" "lost" (trapez url3) was released on 30. april 2007.

after pursuing his career as a sound designer in the videogame industry in seattle , he moved to berlin and works as a full time musician at the moment.

jeff samuel is often described as a 8-bit tetris wizard who does not produce disciplined techno. somewhere beneath his signature hiccupping beats and percolating bleeps exits an indelible wildness, subtly shaking dangers to their corner.
