Forward Step

It's 2024 and Egyptian-born artist of South Sudanese origin Sam Alfred has had a monstrous 12 months. A new year means stepping in a new zone with new tunes. This is Forward Step. First is the title track 'Forward Step (Journey Mix)', an epic cow-bell-laden house hammer that blooms into a euphoric flower. Running with a 90's club flavor, Sam lays airy synths over punchy piano and rave stabs while an all-powerful speech plays out, celebrating the idea that we're all in control of writing our futures. There's a bubbling over of excitement on this one as it builds and builds and builds! Up next is 'Care 4 U' - a crunchy drum club roller paired with fuzzy bass tones and a super hooky vocal loop. A section that's been lodged in our brains from the moment we heard it. Toss in airy pads and a key melody that's also impossible to forget and this track's got you hook, line and sinker. In true Sam Alfred style, 'Care 4 U' is yet more proof that this lad is a wizard at writing jacked-up club cuts, each full of fizz. Third in line comes 'Keep It' a relentless hypnotic piece of techno. Outer space synths drone while shuddering percussion rumbles beneath. It's here where the EP takes a darker turn. The curtain closer and focus track for the EP drop is 'Distance' - an acidic house track to seriously lock and load to. Characterized by sharp hi-hats and lively keys, as it's name suggests this one goes and goes and goes. Tracklisting: A1. Forward Step (Journey Mix) A2. Care 4 U B1. Keep It B2. Distance
