In the futuristic year of 2000, Hot Science, aka Sam Sumner, used the proceeds from his time as a child Kohl’s model to purchase a Korg Triton where his exploration in beatmaking began. Early in his musical career, Hot Science explored the sonic palette of hip-hop under the name Sam Winters along with a unit of emcees, releasing and performing as the ShutDemDown crew. After the disbanding of his quasi-successful rap label in 2009, he began a new, instrumental-focused, direction toward what MJC of Filthybroke Recordings would dub, “juked-out melodic psychedelia”.

The forthcoming “Summoner” EP finds Hot Science conjuring more than the usual frenetic, fast-paced beats by pairing his trademark sound of urgency with some slower, dreamlike tracks to balance the mood.

In celebration of a 20 year long musical vision quest, 2020 finds Hot Science joining forces with Triple Eye Industries on “Summoner”, a 6 track collection of modular synthesizer works. Now, let us join hands/minds and allow Sam to summon the realm of Hot Science.
