Sam Feldt at Temple SF Uplifting’ is without a doubt the word that best describes Dutch DJ, producer, platinum selling artist and sustainability pioneer, Sam Feldt. Having built a career upon his distinctly feel-good sound, Sam already has a double album and a multitude of top-selling releases under his belt. Besides his musical activities he has developed a platform – Fangage – for artists to connect with their fans better. His next project is to spearhead a movement that will help influencers adopt a more sustainable lifestyle, giving back to the planet to reduce and compensate their own environmental impact and encouraging others to do the same. Both in music and life, Sam has his sights set firmly on the future. Not just uplifting in his sound, Sam is always looking for ways to help out others. First of all, the technology behind Heartfeldt.me was designed as a modular platform from the ground up, so that it could also be used by other parties. Called Fangage, the system now serves around 40 artists and influencers around the globe. The same philosophy will be applied to Sam’s latest extracurricular endeavor: his New Year’s vow to mitigate the climate impact of his DJ activities as much as possible. He is open to working with all interested parties in order to investigate the ways in which life – from everyday consumption of food and drink to flying and performing music – can be made sustainable. Sam has so far become an ambassador for Greenseat, which offsets the CO2 output of his flights with green initiatives, and traded in his tired old automobile for a brand new BMW plug-in hybrid. He has also banned disposable plastics from his rider. In the future, he will continue trying new things and mold his findings into a platform much like Fangage, so that other artists will be able to adopt the format easily. “The whole idea is to maximize the impact of what I’m doing,” Sam elaborates. “On my own, I’m just one guy trying to do my best for the environment. If I can get a number of other big-name DJs on board, we can start raising mass awareness with the public about emissions and other environmental issues. Then, we can really make a difference!” Temple SF is a 21+ venue. For more information, visit: https://www.templesf.com/
