Samuel Dalton is a Dj from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Samuel was born on the 22nd of May 1989. He grew up in an area of North Belfast, known as the Crumlin Road. Samuel grew up in a household predominantly with a musical background. Samuels father played guitar in a local Belfast club called Langley Street; Samuels father, now late father was called Richard Justin Dalton. His father was also born in Belfast, Northern Ireland where he met Samuels mother Annie Morgan. Samuel is the youngest of five with three brothers and one sister. All growing up together in Belfast they were a close family and still get along. Samuels love of music stemmed from his brothers who used to always play dance music, trance mostly! He used to always want the ins and outs of how they mixed things so well and with being shown, he was hooked on playing more and more. Samuel turned eleven and picked up his first ever set of Stageline DLP direct drive turntables. Samuel would then start to build his vinyl collection and his first vinyl was; Ian Van Dahl - Castles in the sky, his still has that vinyl in his collection that he does play regularly. Samuel then through the years dabbled in music production and playing sets for online radio stations and had a regular spot on Ideal Club World radio. Samuel then produced a track in the mid 2000’s with a local singer, Suzy Coyle. Suzy, originally from Newry in Northern Ireland; Samuel met Suzy when he attended a show in the OhYeah! Centre in Belfast where she was part of a local group, Katie And The Carnival. It was then after their show that there was an intimate Q&A, to which Samuel asked Suzy a question if she would be interested in singing for a Trance style track, Suzy agreed and exchanged details that evening. Back and fourth online exchanges, meet ups and playing randomly with music programs and sound packs and that’s when Feel was born! Samuel produced the elements and structure in his home studio and forwarded it on to Suzy when it was at it’s completion. Within a couple of house Suzy had the lyrics written, prepared and rendered Samuel with confidence that it was something he needed to hear in person. A few days later they met up after a gathering and Suzy had the track loaded up and he had his back to her to appreciate the rawness of the performance. Samuel was in a state of emotion as he got goosebumps, hair raising feeling and like something just triggered how the music was making them feel. Then when the vocals were being recorded at Score Draw Music within the Oh Yeah! Centre by a long time friend of Samuels, Mark Gordon. After this process they then set to work arranging the parts they recorded and as soon as that was finalised it was ready for the world to hear. A few years after this momentous occasion Samuel got the chance to perform at one of Belfasts biggest events for all the family, Culture Night. Samuel performed for a lot of people who checked in on his set giving Samuel the confidence to make the night one to remember for ever.
