Far Beats and Super Samir Establish A cross-continental dialogue across 10,000 kilometres uniting precision drum & bass with raw Tokyo-by-way-of-Cairo breakbeats.
The global underground electronic music network continues to shrink as French producer Far Beats and Tokyo-based producer Super Samir unite for a brand-new collaborative project. Landing via ITDS on 29 May 2026, the duo open their collaborative account with Far Beats Super Samir Escape From Gattaca, the debut installment of a new Cross-Remix Series built on reinterpretation, contrast, and cross-continental dialogue. The release serves as a direct bridge between two distinct sonic worlds, tracking a creative relationship that stretches back to Tokyo’s underground club scene in the early 2000s.
The original mix of “Escape From Gattaca” is a sharply focused drum & bass statement operating at a blistering 165 BPM. Cerebral in its construction and driven by absolute precision, the track balances heavy tension with delicate melodic fragments that carry the weight of memory. On the flip side, Super Samir pulls the architecture into looser breakbeat territory at 140 BPM. Weaving analog saturation with authentic Paris atmosphere samples, the remix reshapes the original’s clinical lines into something deeply textured, gritty, and completely his own.
“Speed, uncertainty, liberation – all of it rendered in sound and image. The first move in an ongoing exchange between two cities, two producers, and two distinct sonic worlds.”
Operating over 10,000 kilometres apart, the two producers continue to leverage their deep roots to push each other into unchartered territory. Far Beats, known for his forward-thinking, hip-hop-inflected turntablism, provides the razor-sharp structure, while Super Samir – the driving force behind the Tokyo-by-way-of-Cairo “Criminal Electro Funk Beat Band” – injects his trademark blend of punk rock, house, and funk. With a second release already confirmed featuring a Far Beats remix of Super Samir’s “Car Chase Funk Scene,” this cross-continental exchange shows absolutely no signs of slowing down.
