After a monumental 2024, Sammy Virji kicks off 2025 in style with his latest banger, “I Guess We’re Not The Same”, dropping February 14 via Polydor.
Following the success of “Damager”, “IGWNTS” delivers a signature Virji experience—opening with a delicate vocal refrain and lush, infectious melody before diving into a skippy garage drum groove and a rumbling bassline that hits deep. The track already received a spin from Four Tet on New York’s The Lot Radio, cementing its status as a must-hear anthem.
The release follows two SOLD OUT headline shows at O2 Academy Brixton on January 31 and February 1, marking yet another milestone in Virji’s unstoppable rise.
A Defining Year for Sammy Virji
2024 saw Sammy Virji solidify his place as a global garage phenomenon. He performed to 55,000 fans at Chase & Status’ Milton Keynes Bowl takeover, embarked on a sold-out North American and UK tour, and drew massive crowds at Parklife, Boomtown, and Glastonbury, where he went B2B with DJ EZ, Todd Edwards, Joy Anonymous, and Hamdi. He also joined Ben UFO, Chloé Robinson, and Four Tet under New York’s K-Bridge for the Four Tet & Friends event and made his Boiler Room debut at Portola Festival in Denver, playing alongside Nikki Nair, Ahadadream, Hudson Mohawke, and Doctor Jeep.
In October, he teamed up with Interplanetary Criminal for the rave-ready anthem “Damager”, which has been shaking dancefloors worldwide. He even became a talking point on ITV’s “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here”, proving his impact extends far beyond the club scene.
UKG’s Leading Force
As UK Garage continues to dominate global dancefloors, Sammy Virji stands at the forefront of its evolution. The London-based producer/DJ, nominated for Best Producer at DJ Mag’s Best of British Awards (2023), continues to deliver chart-worthy hits. From “Find My Way Home” (26M streams) to the hard-hitting “Shella Verse” feat. Flowdan (13M streams) and “Summertime Blues” with Chris Lake and Nathan Nicholson, his signature sound blends infectious grooves with high-energy bass. His 2023 single “If U Need It” became a breakout hit, amassing nearly 50M streams and reaching #85 on the UK Singles Chart.
With “I Guess We’re Not The Same” and more music on the horizon, Sammy Virji is proving why he’s one of the most exciting names in dance music heading into 2025.
