BIOGRAPHY

Sam Lainio - Ex-member of CdR Kollektiv has been in the music business since 1990. Rauma - his hometown - offered pretty good conditions at that time for young deejay. Techno music was just raised in the dance scene and so Sam pointed his musical interests into more marginal and underground styled music. He joined as a deejay in many techno parties in the West coast but after several years nearly ended his deejay career due to a lack of interest. Luckily his friends taught him some new waves of house music - he were hooked in deeper house at once.

After a few years now Sam’s interests were heading back to his musical roots. Some point in the year 2004 more raw and pumping elements started to sound better and better to him. Techno was back! Almost immediately warm and smooth feelings for deeper house were gone and Sam started planning a new sublabel for Cafe del Raum. After few months Cobs of Raum were born. Nowadays Sam is working with both of these groups to rise them to the top of finnish club scene.

Sam has been playing gigs in clubs and happenings such as Nightman (Tallinna), Sun Dance Music Festival ( Tallinna), Valtimo (Lahti), Pannuhuone (Helsinki), Kerma (Helsinki), Rose Garden (Helsinki), Beatroot (Helsinki), Koneisto 2000 (Turku), Blanko (Turku), Päiväkoti (Turku), Kino (Pori), Cafe Europa (Tampere), Ihana (Helsinki), Mbar (Helsinki) and in many other happenings around Finland as well.
