Sam Starion is a new name breaking onto the dance music scene and he hits us with this volcanic track, Fat Lava. We’ve got funky stabs and a real Big Beat flavour and a sound that is reminiscent of old skool Fatboy Slim. It’s absolutely massive!

The track has just been released on the Hungarian label MustBeat who themselves are in their infancy but have managed to put out 20 releases to date with Bass and Funk at their hearts. They must be overjoyed with their latest signing and can’t wait, like us here at LSM to see what more treats Sam Starion has up his sleeve for us all.

Being relatively new Sam has a couple of mixes up for free download and a pretty neat House track for you to check out and you can do that HERE on his Soundcloud page. Also check out MustBeats releases HERE again on their Soundcloud page and give them a like on their Facebook page to get your hands on the free download track posted HERE.
