The Berlin-based
Australian DJ delivers beats and melody in abundance
Too often in dance music, melody is treated as something you’re forced to endure while waiting for the beat to kick back in. A little sugar with your medicine. Samantha Poulter knows better. Her stellar Logic1000 productions romp gleefully across genres, but always pack an arresting tune. House
music is her heart, but a teenage love for Destiny’s Child and Missy Elliott bulges out of wonderfully idiosyncratic songs such as Na and Perfume.
Poulter posted tracks online as DJ Logic for a few years, until another DJ Logic served a cease-and-desist order. Relaunched in 2019 as Logic1000, the raw emotion and floor-shivering bass of her debut 12-inch, DJ Logic Please Forgive Me, propelled Poulter to another level. Her music is equally powerful in or out of clubs, with songs such as What You Like seeking sympathy between Bicep and Mazzy Star.
