Sammy Virji and Issey Cross Collaborate on Euphoric New Track “Nostalgia” via Astralwerks
Sammy Virji teams with Issey Cross for “Nostalgia,” blending garage rhythms and euphoric vocals.
Sammy Virji, dubbed a “global garage phenomenon” by DJ Mag, is back with “Nostalgia,” his genre-bending new single featuring the dynamic Issey Cross, out now via Astralwerks.
“Nostalgia” combines fast-paced NUKG drums, cinematic violin strings, and a gritty bassline, creating a track that’s both dancefloor-ready and emotionally resonant. Issey Cross, acclaimed for her work with Moby and Wilkinson, provides an anthemic vocal performance that elevates the track’s energy.
The track has been hotly anticipated since its teaser in Sammy’s DJ Mag HQ set (now viewed over 2.1M times) and has since gained viral traction on TikTok and YouTube.
Following a standout triple performance at Coachella, Sammy’s year is packed with major appearances, including Movement Festival, Bonnaroo, two headline nights at Brooklyn Mirage, and slots at Outside Lands, Lowlands, APE, and Pukkelpop.
Sammy Virji’s meteoric rise includes hits like “Find My Way Home,” “Shella Verse” featuring Flowdan, and “Summertime Blues” with Chris Lake, amassing tens of millions of streams. His breakout hit “If U Need It” is nearing 70M streams, and with “I Guess We’re Not The Same,” he’s keeping momentum strong in 2025.
