Metal Tiger

Metal Tiger aka Sam Holland has been
obsessed with electronic music and
instrumental beats since he first heard DJ
Shadow’s Endtroducing in high school. His
hip-hop inflected electronic beats are both
funky and experimental, groovy and spiritual.
He got a real education in bass and bleeps
in South Florida as part of the legendary IDM
scene there, playing with acts such as
Machinedrum and Flashbulb. Returning to
the Boston area, he has worked on the
development of the MPC sampler, helped
run the popular Meetup group Boston
Modular and Synth, and thrown shows at
venues like Dorchester Arts Project and
Mayday. He is the founder of World Elevator
Society Records, and is a member of
Recursor with Archvillainy and Solune with
Sophia Perennis. Metal Tiger’s influences
include DJ Krush, Prefuse 73, Machinedrum,
Orbital, and the RZA.
