“Downtime” promises to deliver a fresh and emotionally charged sound, artfully intertwining the energetic elements of speed garage with smooth, evocative vocals. Its versatility makes it equally at home in intimate lounge settings and pulsating dance floors, striking a perfect balance between nostalgic sentiments and an upbeat rhythm. The track’s distinctive vocal chop in the drop is an instant earworm, making it an ideal choice for content creators seeking trending audio.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind “Downtime,” Sam Silver shares, “Relationships are intricate, and the circumstances surrounding them can cause our emotions to swing dramatically. The yearning for deep, meaningful connections amidst life’s challenges is a universal experience. We aimed to encapsulate this dynamic in a song that resonates emotionally while remaining fun and relatable.”
Yona adds her perspective, stating, “This song delves into the intense emotions of a tumultuous relationship. It expresses the passion of loving someone who often feels distant, capturing the longing for love even when it seems conditional. The lyrics convey a desire for acceptance and a quest for connection and validation amid pressure and uncertainty.”
The upcoming EP, “Leap 96,” marks a collaborative triumph between Sam Silver and ALRT, drawing inspiration from the rich sonic landscape of the late 90s and early 2000s—an era when garage and drum & bass first made their mark on the underground rave scene. The music within this project features vocal-driven dance tracks designed to thrive in both uptempo and downtempo environments. The title “Leap 96” is a clever nod to the midpoint between Sam and ALRT’s birth years, coincidentally a leap year, symbolizing the artists’ own leap into a new creative phase.
This collaboration highlights the distinct backgrounds of both artists: ALRT infuses his work with old-school rave influences, while Sam Silver brings in fresh elements from the contemporary garage, rap, and ethereal house scenes. The result is a unique fusion that seamlessly blends garage, drum and bass, rap, and indie pop sensibilities.
The partnership between Sam Silver and ALRT ignited during a serendipitous encounter at a Hollywood studio co-founded by the renowned artist and producer JOYRYDE. What began as a casual co-writing session blossomed into an extensive two-month collaboration, culminating in the creation of four tracks for the “Leap 96” EP, with more music on the horizon.
As anticipation builds for both “Downtime” and the “Leap 96” EP, Sam Silver and ALRT invite listeners to join them on this exhilarating musical journey, where nostalgia meets innovation and emotional depth intertwines with infectious energy. Stay tuned for the release and prepare to immerse yourself in a soundscape that resonates with the complexities of love, connection, and the vibrant pulse of life.
