“Downtime” promises to deliver a refreshing and emotionally charged sound, artfully weaving together influences from speed garage with smooth, evocative vocals. This track is designed to resonate in both cozy lounges and vibrant dance floors, striking a balance between nostalgic emotions and an upbeat, infectious vibe. Notably, the distinctive vocal chop featured in the drop is poised to become an instant earworm, making it an ideal choice for creators in search of trending audio.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind “Downtime,” Sam Silver shares, “Relationships are intricate, and our emotions can fluctuate in response to the circumstances around us. The longing for a deep, meaningful connection amidst life’s challenges is a universal experience. We aimed to encapsulate this duality in a song that is both emotional and fun, something that everyone can connect with.”
Yona adds depth to this sentiment, stating, “This song delves into the intense emotions that arise in a tumultuous relationship. It captures the passion of loving someone who often feels distant, expressing the yearning for love even when they seem to want you only at certain moments. The lyrics reflect a desire for acceptance and validation amidst the pressures and uncertainties of life.”
The forthcoming EP, “Leap 96,” is a collaborative masterpiece born from the synergy between Sam Silver and ALRT. Drawing inspiration from the rich sonic landscape of the late ’90s and early 2000s—when garage and drum & bass first made waves in the underground rave scene—the music combines vocal-driven dance tracks crafted for both uptempo and downtempo settings. The title, “Leap 96,” pays homage to the year that lies at the midpoint between Sam and ALRT’s birth years, which also coincidentally was a leap year.
This collaboration showcases the unique backgrounds of both artists: ALRT infuses his old-school rave influences, while Sam Silver brings elements from the contemporary realms of garage, rap, and ethereal house. The result is a distinctive fusion that marries garage, drum and bass, rap, and indie pop sensibilities.
The partnership between Sam Silver and ALRT began serendipitously during a chance encounter at a Hollywood studio co-founded by the acclaimed artist and producer JOYRYDE. What started as a casual co-writing session blossomed into a two-month collaboration, culminating in the creation of the four tracks featured on the “Leap 96” EP, with even more musical endeavors on the horizon.
As the release date for “Downtime” approaches, anticipation builds for what promises to be a standout track in both artists’ discographies. With its rich emotional narrative and infectious sound, “Downtime” is set to resonate with listeners and creators alike, solidifying Sam Silver’s place as a rising star in the music industry.
Mark your calendars for September 27th, 2024, and prepare to immerse yourself in the compelling world of Sam Silver and ALRT as they take you on a journey through the highs and lows of love, connection, and the timeless allure of dance music.
