REVIEW: Sam Allan & Adara - Afraid Of Heaven out on Black Hole Recordings

10.0
Overall Score

 


New York native Sam Allan growing up on bumping rock, rap and pop in his headphones on a random adventure into the City, he discovered the infamous venue “Twilo.” They guest starred international DJ’s every Friday night and he kept coming back every Friday night. Addicted to the spinning and scratching of the discs, the bass of the speakers, and the crowd going wild, needless to say, he had fallen in love. Sam Allan has been a beloved DJ on the New York City club circuit for several years. He has performed regularly at many of the cities hottest venues, such as Marquee, Schimanski, LAVO and Avant Gardner. In addition to his frequent performances and DJ sets, Allan has also spent each year since 2015 honing his production chops and developing his own distinct sound - a highly original blend of house, techno, progressive and trance. In 2019 Sam landed supporting gigs for some of the finest names in the industry, including the ball drop for Kaskade’s NYE show at Marquee (for a third consecutive year), and opening sets for Eric Prydz on three stops of his HOLO tour.

Sam Allan & Adara - Afraid Of Heaven 10

Summary

Sam Allan opens a new chapter in his career with his releases on the iconic label Black Hole recordings. His most successful track on beatport was his previous Black Hole anthem Secrets of Your Heart with Sarah De Warren. Now he collaborates with Adara for the very promising Afraid Of Heaven. The track is a great blend between progressive house and trance. His deep pulsating basslines merged with chunky kicks and pumping drums while on top dark synthy themes and melancholic dark strings added leading to the emotional breakdown that Adara takes center stage and she sings with so much grace and dynamism the brilliant mystical lyrics. The build up is intense leading to his equally moody melancholic climax by keeping the very cinematic and esoteric atmosphere turning this track into a late night anthem. #PureGold Love IT
