about
Sample208 is the alter ego of the multi-hat wearing Los Angeleno, Adam Jay Weissman, writer, director, beat maker, music producer and member of the group, Pollyn. At 13 years old, the hip hop whiz kid traded up his bar mitzah money for his first set of Technique 1200’s and thus embarking on his eclectic musical mission. Pulling influences from Fela Kuti to Goblin to DJ Shadow, Adam has been making bedroom bangers since the age of 16. Doing remixes for the likes of Buffalo Daughter, Gorillaz and Liquid Liquid (“Optimo” remix forthcoming). Armed with a SP1200, a fender Rhodes, analog keyboards and an ancient Pro Tools set up, Adam makes drum heavy electronic music that feels like it’s jumped out of a post modern Noir film. Adam is currently finishing a Sample208 record (guests include: Guilty Simpson, Master Ace, and Sole (anitcon)), as well as finally mixing the long in the works Pollyn full length, entitled This Little Night.
