Sam Ruffillo

After 4 years of adventures - traveling, partying, testing out the tracks across 4 continents - I finally took some time in my studio in Bologna this past year to finish this album. And it’s finally out today!! Everyone who knows me knows how much work and dedication I put into what I do, and how deep my love for music has always been. This record feels like the closing of a circle. The Italian songs, first released 3–4 years ago, have finally found a home.. and that home is Tipo Così. Out now on @toytonics , which has truly become my family. Thanks to @kapote_toytonics for always pushing, for the inspiration and advice and to @manuel_kim_ @max.nrg.supply and the whole crew for the hard work, the patience and the (occasional) pain in the *ss - all of which help me grow into a better artist. ❤️ Thanks to @michael__ullrich for the beautiful cover photos shot in Berlin, and to @m.i.r.u.e.l for the amazing artwork. 🛞 Thanks to all the musicians and friends who took part in this album: @ninfadorart , @placido______ , @christianlisi_ , @federicofranciosi_ , @pimdevente - it was so much fun guys. And above all, thanks to everyone who gave me the strength to finish this record. Without all your love and support, I probably wouldn’t have made this decision. Mixed by @giulioabbattista at @pitagorastudio and mastered by @cesare_marocco at @tunelab.it (digital) and #schnittstelle Berlin (vinyl). Big love to the booking team at @orchid_am and @tonicbooking - what a ride! Now it’s time to enjoy! The track you’re listening to is my new single ‘Ancora’: “a vibrant hi-NRG track deeply rooted in the 80s Italo tradition. With pulsating drum machines, shimmering DX7 synths and dreamy Korg M1 piano melodies, it channels the euphoric energy of the decade while feeling unmistakably fresh today.” Tipo Così is finally here! Much love, Sam ❤️

Metà della vita passata tra aerei, hotel, taxi e club. L’altra metà passata a desiderare il proprio studio, i propri orari, la rassicurante routine di chi, in fondo, si sente un casalingo. Per questo nuovo episodio di “Che storie”, @samruffillo ci apre il diario di bordo degli ultimi quattro anni. Trenta Paesi visitati e una consapevolezza nuova: viaggiare ti toglie il controllo, ma ti regala la libertà di non dover più incastrare tutto in una forma precisa. Sam ci racconta la fortuna di vedere il mondo e il paradosso di dovertene andare per capire davvero quanto sono importanti le persone che ami e che ti aspettano al ritorno. Però capita anche un’altra cosa: esiste un un filo rosso che ti unisce alle persone che incontri, e alla fine capisci che casa tua diventa qualasisi posto in cui c’è amore, condivisione e comunità. È lì che la distanza diventa vicinanza e che il viaggio smette di essere fatica per diventare “casa”, anche se casa oggi è un gate e domani è un club affollato.
