Official loglines for SAMPLED:

· "Anarchy in the U.K." - Marc "Loop Daddy" Rebillet storms London with DJ and BBC host Carly Wilford. Champagne flows as they channel the rebellious energy that fuels this city as it re-emerges from years of lockdowns and political turmoil.

· "Amsterdammed" - Tinashe kicks off her European tour in Amsterdam, where she links up with local DJ and producer Cesqeaux. Together they explore the wild diversity and eclectic culture of his hometown, avoiding the stereotypical spots for a more real, raw experience.

· "Tokyo Calling" - Amidst her first international headline tour, Arlo Parks finds herself in the deep cultural waters of Tokyo. Guided by local DJ Sarasa, she's immersed in the blend of old and new that makes the city such a beautiful enigma.

· "Mi Gente" - Bas and the "Dreamville" crew stop for a long layover in Medellin, where prolific singer-songwriter Vince "Vibarco" Jimenez takes them on a deeply personal ride through the vibrant and colorful culture that has flourished in the post-narco era.

· "El Corrido de Monterrey" - EDM prodigy NGHTMRE meets up with long-time friend and fellow DJ, Americo Garcia, aka Boombox Cartel, in his hometown Monterrey. Together they set out on a taco-fueled 48 hours in one of Mexico's most underrated cities.

· "Born to Die in Berlin" - Rapper GoldLink heads to Berlin for his first show in two years. Local journalist and creative Cloudy Zakrocki shows him an unexpected side to the city as they explore its culture of transformation.
