“Downtime” promises to deliver a fresh and emotionally charged sound, seamlessly blending the rhythmic influences of speed garage with smooth, evocative vocals.

Reflecting on the inspiration behind “Downtime,” Sam Silver shares, “Relationships are intricate, and our emotions can swing unpredictably based on our circumstances. The yearning for deep, meaningful connections amid life’s challenges is a universal experience. We aimed to capture this balance in a song that is both emotional and fun, resonating with everyone.”
Yona adds her perspective, stating, “This song delves into the intense emotions that accompany a tumultuous relationship. It articulates the passion of loving someone who often feels out of reach, expressing the longing for love even when it seems conditional. The lyrics convey a deep desire for acceptance and connection amidst the pressures and uncertainties of life.”
The forthcoming EP, “Leap 96,” represents a collaborative endeavor between Sam Silver and ALRT, drawing inspiration from the rich sonic landscape of the late ’90s and early 2000s—a time when garage and drum & bass first made their mark on the underground rave scene. The music within the EP is a blend of vocal-driven dance tracks designed for both high-energy settings and more laid-back environments. The title “Leap 96” is a clever nod to the midpoint between Sam and ALRT’s birth years, coincidentally a leap year, symbolizing a significant moment in time.
This collaboration showcases the unique backgrounds of both artists: ALRT infuses the project with his old-school rave influences, while Sam Silver introduces elements from contemporary garage, rap, and ethereal house genres. The result is a distinctive fusion of sounds that marries garage, drum and bass, rap, and indie pop sensibilities, creating an auditory experience that is both innovative and nostalgic.
The partnership between Sam Silver and ALRT began unexpectedly during a casual encounter at a Hollywood studio co-founded by the acclaimed artist and producer JOYRYDE. What started as a simple co-writing session quickly evolved into a two-month-long collaboration, culminating in the creation of four tracks for the “Leap 96” EP, with more exciting projects on the horizon.
As anticipation builds for the release of “Downtime” and the “Leap 96” EP, Sam Silver and ALRT are set to make waves in the music industry, inviting listeners to join them on a journey through the complexities of love and connection, all while dancing to the infectious rhythms of their innovative sound. Mark your calendars for September 27th and October 18th—these dates promise to be pivotal moments in the evolution of modern music.
