After spending a ton of time in the studio together, Sam Silver and ALRT have just launched their brand new project Leap 96 with the release of ‘Back It Up’ ft. Michael Aristotle. With the trajectory of these two artists reaching such massive heights, this announcement lit up the dance music world in excitement, and when listening to the single, you can really see why.

Officially dropping on the LA-based TH3RD BRAIN Records, ‘Back It Up’ delivers an electrifying blend of UK garage and high-energy dance beats, perfectly complemented by the dynamic rap prowess of Michael Aristotle. Whether you’re in the club, at a festival, or cruising in your car, ‘Back It Up’ is your ultimate anthem for summer 2024. With several more singles lined up for this project, ‘Back It Up’ also marks the debut single from the forthcoming EP titled ‘Leap 96’, slated for release on October 18th!

“I met Irad (ALRT) when I first moved out to LA and was writing and producing new material.”, Sam Silver explains. “One night, we were both at Gravity Studio in West Hollywood, where I had just started working. We instantly connected, and this was the first of many records we produced together over the past three months. We became obsessed with blending the chill, upbeat jazzy vibe of the Rhodes electric piano with pretty pluck sounds. We found a captivating sample to bring in right before the drop. Once the track was done, I added a vocal from an unreleased rap song I had cut back in NY with my good friend Michael. It took the song to another level. I always love putting the pieces together in the production process. My personal belief is that Michael made the record pop because his voice and the message of the lyrics really are cohesive.”

ALRT shares: “I remember when we just started this track, I immediately had a good feeling about it. It’s a fun, feel-good track with a lot of attitude. It works for festivals and clubs, but you can also just rock it in the car.”

“I’m honored to be a part of this song. I honestly think it’s just a fun song about being better and doing better despite whatever obstacles are in front of you.”, says Michael Artistotle. “I don’t expect everyone to get that off rip because it’s a fun song you can dance to, where you may not pay attention to the lyrics, but I’m saying some real stuff on there. That’s also why I think this song is dope all around. It’s energetic and moves any issue to the back of your mind.”

Leap 96, the brainchild of Sam Silver and ALRT, draws inspiration from the vibrant late ’90s and early 2000s rave scene, where garage and drum and bass first took hold. This collaborative project merges vocal-driven dance music that fits seamlessly into both uptempo and downtempo settings, offering a nostalgic yet fresh sonic experience.

The name Leap 96 holds special significance, representing the middle year between Sam and ALRT’s birthdays and marking a leap year. This period symbolizes the fusion of their unique musical journeys: ALRT, rooted in the prosperous old-school rave scene, and Sam, emerging from the new-age garage, rap, and ethereal house movements.

Their music marries elements of garage, rap, and drum and bass with an indie pop sensibility. This collaboration brings a perfect contemporary edge to dance music, appealing to a wide array of listeners.

Sam Silver and ALRT’s partnership began serendipitously in a Hollywood studio, co-founded by ALRT and renowned artist/producer JOYRYDE. What started as a casual co-writing session quickly evolved into an intense two-month co-production period, resulting in four powerful tracks for their upcoming EP and numerous works in progress.

Scottish producer BETH returns on The Cross Records with new single Wait, following a breakout 2026 of festival slots, Ibiza dates and Radio 1 support.

In the space of a year, BETH has gone from respected up and comer to a genuine festival act. Her debut on The Cross Records, “Keep It Movin’,” is closing in on 1 million streams, and she’s kept up a steady run of releases on labels like TSHA’s Jackfruit, Eats Everything’s Edible, and Melon Bomb Records, along with a well received remix of Karen Harding’s “Island.” That output has earned her support on BBC Radio 1, with plays from Sarah Story and Arielle Free.

Her live schedule has kept pace too. This year she’s played TRNSMT Festival, Sub Club, Cabaret Voltaire, and SWG3 in Scotland, Mas Que Nada in London, and Lakota in Bristol, plus Ibiza dates at Hï, Cova Santa, and Pikes.

“Wait” marks a step forward in her production. Where “Keep It Movin'” leaned into sultry, harmonic melodies, “Wait” goes bigger and brighter, built around euphoric piano chords, a driving 90s inspired break, and deep reese bass. It’s a feel good summer record from an artist whose rise shows no signs of slowing down.

Scarper Drops ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’ Compilation

Scarper releases ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’, a collection of eight unreleased tracks from the era behind his debut album ‘Warmer Squares’ and ‘E-Funk’.

UK artist Scarper has released ‘Off-Cuts (2014-2021)’, a hand-picked collection of eight previously unreleased tracks pulled from the same period that produced his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Warmer Squares’ and his 2020 dancefloor tune ‘E-Funk’, which has been experiencing a resurgence thanks to a recent physical release on a new imprint.

The project is exactly what it sounds like, Scarper going back through his studio archives and finding the demos, jams, and ideas from that era that were good enough to polish up and put out. “I realised I had quite a few demos, jams and ideas on my laptop from that period, some of which were decent enough to polish up and get out into the world,” he said. “It’s a snapshot of where I was musically at the time, so I thought I’d package them together as a retrospective rather than a proper release, giving people something to enjoy while I crack on with the next project.”

The eight tracks cover a lot of ground, from the epic opening chords of ‘Skynet’ to the acid squelches of ‘Steppe’ and the string arrangements of ‘Halocline’. It is the kind of release that rewards the people who have been paying attention, and sits comfortably alongside some of his best work.

Scarper has built his career almost entirely on his own terms, releasing through his own imprint Plexus Records and picking up support from Orbital, Laurent Garnier, Carl Craig, Rinse FM, BBC 6 Music, Mixmag, and DJ Mag along the way.

‘Off-Cuts (2014–2021)’ is out now on Plexus Records.
