Sam WOLFE Dropped ‘My Instinct,’ The Techno World Took Notice

There’s a version of Sam WOLFE that almost never made it to the dancefloor. Like a lot of people, he followed the expected path — the responsible one, the one that made sense on paper — until music pulled him back in a way that couldn’t be ignored. That tension between obligation and instinct didn’t disappear. It became the foundation of everything he makes.

Which makes “My Instinct,” his newest single via Set About, feel less like a product release and more like a personal statement.

From the opening seconds, the track locks in and doesn’t let go. Relentless drums and a pulsing sub-bass backbone create a surge of forward momentum that feels physically immediate. Cutting through the mix is an echoing vocal phrase — “my instinct” — repeating like an internal command. The message underneath it is direct: stop second-guessing, surrender to the energy, and move.

As the tension builds and the track shifts gears, the production conjures something cinematic — the feeling of speeding through city streets at night, momentum compounding with every bar. It’s a duality that has come to define Sam WOLFE’s output: underground discipline applied at festival scale.

That range didn’t develop overnight. Since emerging from Atlanta’s electronic underground in 2020, Sam WOLFE has built a catalog across some of the scene’s most respected imprints — 1605, Filth On Acid, Tronic, Revealed, and Experts Only among them — while accumulating multiple Beatport Top 10 placements and sharing credits with artists including UMEK, Teenage Mutants, Cosmic Boys, and T78.

But behind the chart positions and the global headline slots is something simpler. As Sam WOLFE himself put it in a personal statement: “Stay close to what feels real. The rest will follow.”

“My Instinct” is exactly that — instinct, applied at full volume.

“My Instinct” by Sam WOLFE is out now via Set About.
