Long form bio and history of Sammy Dee
Sammy Dee has been spinning records for over three decades. Born and raised in Berlin, when the Berlin Wall fell and “machine music” had become a soundtrack for reunification, it played across the city in a plethora of abandoned spaces turned nightspots.
Among these were Planet, E-Werk, and Tresor, second homes for Dee; he became a resident DJ at the latter two, and then Ostgut (the predecessor to Berghain) in 1998, establishing himself as a rising artist within this exciting movement.
It was in 1998, too, that Dee formed Pantytec with Perlon co-founder Thomas Franzmann (a.k.a Zip.) All releases landed on Zip and Markus Nikolai’s Perlon, the revered minimal house and techno label with which Dee has long held close associations.
Get Perlonized began in 2000 at the old Panorama Bar above Ostgut, with Zip, Dee, and two guests performing all night long, pushing seductive minimal tunes. Dee ongoing skills in curation have since established Get Perlonized as one of underground music’s most celebrated events and a must-do for Perlon's intensely loyal following. Aufgebasst party at Club Der Visionäre and Hoppetosse became adored parties ran by Dee.
