Berlin’s Sam Shure arrives on Rekids 3rd July 2026 with the ‘Belinda’ EP, a three-tracker including a collaboration with Swiss-French DJ and producer and I AM YOU label boss Deer Jade. Since his debut release in 2016, Shure has been backed by a long list of supporters, including Pete Tong and Âme, racking up over 66 million streams via music on the likes of HABITAT and Cercle, as well as releasing Tomorrowland’s CORE label’s best-selling track.
Sam Shure’s ‘Belinda’ EP opens with the title track, where a robust, organic rhythm playfully underpins the fidgety, bitcrushed sounds and stabs above, all while the titular vocal is evenly dotted throughout the arrangement. Shure then teams up with Innervisions, Diynamic and Kompakt artist Deer Jade for the aptly named ‘String Theory’, a strong and steady groove shot through with uplifting strings and synth work. Closing the offering, Sam Shure returns solo with ‘No Time To Play’, squelchy sequences winding through rich melodies that steadily build the pressure for a strobe-lit dancefloor adventure.
“Belinda came to life after a sweaty Sunday night at Panorama Bar where I saw Floorplan playing for the second time. I woke up the next day, deeply inspired by them, and made Belinda within 2 hours or so. It was one of those dreamlike flow-state sessions where everything just works the first try and you don’t have to think about your creative decisions at all. At first I felt it was too fast/heavy to be a Sam Shure track, so it sat on my hard drive for about a year. This year I am feeling a strong and clear gravity toward this more classic, raw house and Detroit approach, and Belinda suddenly made much sense for this project and found its way onto my USB stick. I am very honored it found a home with such a legendary label that has equally accompanied and inspired me over the years and helped me shape my sound in that direction.” – Sam Shure
