DRUGZZ is the moniker of Nashville-based electronic artist Sam Krager. After spending the last few years in the kitchen of his start-up Salsa company, the need for creative expression drove his alter ego to the surface, thus leading the unsuspecting Sam Krager to live vicariously through the artist known as DRUGZZ. “Our company did very well, but I ended up hating my life.” he says. “Inspiration comes in many ways – sometimes through cilantro stained hands.”
Armed with an old Rogers drum set, a Moog Sub Phatty and a biting sense of humour, DRUGZZ set out to create his cathartic debut single ‘Someone Other Than Me,’ set for official release on March 2nd via Super Serious Records. The result is a genuinely interesting blend of genre-fusion. With its roots firmly in future-bass and EDM, the track takes on an unexpected punk element as Krager’s confrontational vocal delivery kicks in. Lyrics such as ” … you were spending your time with some one other than me. But thats okay, cos you’re kinda fucking boring anyway” are a welcome reprieve from the sacharine-sweet lyrical declamations often characterised in future-bass and EDM offerings.
DRUGZZ has been likened to “Louis The Child meets Simple Plan” but this hardly gives his idiosyncratic style the credit it deserves. ‘Someone Other Than Me’ is chock-full of driving bass lines, pounding percussive beats and unabashed heartbreak. We have a feeling you’ll be hearing alot more from him in the near future.
