From Melbourne’s OG club scene to the heart of the bush doof movement, Sammy La Marca has lived every side of Australia’s underground. He started as one of the city’s biggest club kids — velvet ropes, strobes, and packed dancefloors — but over time, the music and meaning shifted.

Now, he’s a full-blown doofer, playing wild sets across Australia and the world, chasing that raw connection only found under open skies and speaker stacks. In this episode, we dive into the rise of Melbourne’s club-to-doof culture, the highs and lows of DJ life, and even the time he nearly cut his hand off (yep, you read that right).

🎙️ Hosted by Danny Rants, this one’s a wild ride through music, culture, chaos, and self-discovery.
