SAMMY VIRJI DROPS NEW SINGLE “NOSTALGIA” WITH ISSEY CROSS

Sammy Virji, named a “global garage phenomenon” by DJ Mag and, by Boiler Room, “one of the hottest names in dance music all over the f**king world,” is back in full force with his new single “Nostalgia” out now via Astralwerks. Listen HERE.

“Nostalgia,” which releases shortly after Sammy tore Coachella apart with not one but three appearances, blends skippy NUKG drums with violin strings and a deep, growling bassline. Known for her work with Wilkinson, Moby, and Tïesto, Issey Cross delivers a vocal performance that drives the track with a euphoric punch. A genre-blurring force between alt-pop and dance, her presence adds both heart and high energy to the mix.

Among others from Sammy’s unreleased arsenal, “Nostalgia” has been hot on the lips of ravers all over the globe ever since it was teased in his 2023 DJ Mag HQ set, which now has 2.1M views. The excitement has been at a fever pitch ever since, with clips being shared across TikTok, YouTube, and SoundCloud.

With this release firmly on the horizon, Sammy’s 2025 is jam-packed. He’s set to play Movement Festival on May 25, Bonnaroo on June 12, and two headline shows at the Brooklyn Mirage on June 14. In July and August, he’ll play at Bonobo Brighton as well as major festival run with appearances at Outside Lands, Lowlands, APE, and Pukkelpop.

Sammy Virji is driving the evolution of UKG, as the genre takes the world by storm. The London producer/DJ, nominated for Best Producer at DJ Mag’s Best Of British Awards in 2023, is an in-demand dance music maker, whether that’s for his brighter garage cuts like “Find My Way Home” (31M streams), screw-face belters like “Shella Verse” featuring Grammy-nominated Flowdan (18M streams), or synth-heavy bass house singles like “Summertime Blues” with Chris Lake and Nathan Nicholson, now sitting at a whopping 28M streams. His catchy 2023 single “If U Need It” was arguably his biggest hit yet, now cruising towards 70M streams, having reached #85 on the UK Singles Chart. In 2025, continuing his string of accolades, Sammy leaped into the new year with his smash “I Guess We’re Not The Same.”
