“Heart Attack” is the latest single from breakout DJ/producer Sam Silver, featuring dynamic vocal performances from GROOVY and Cade Clair. The track is a unique melding of UK garage rhythms, emotional dance, and R&B-infused vocals, capturing raw angst and driving it forward with club energy.
Right from the opening beat, “Heart Attack” immerses you in the action. The pulsating bass quickly establishes the mood, followed by GROOVY’s silky smooth vocals, which effectively captivate the audience. As his verse unfolds, an anxious, urgent low-end builds beneath, creating tension until the song transitions into a stuttering sample fueled by a UK garage breakbeat. Cade Clair and Groovy both showcase unique vocal styles that harmoniously complement each other, providing a smooth, melodic contrast to the UK garage-infused track.
“Heart Attack started as a late-night idea in LA and turned into a year-long obsession,” says Sam Silver. “Groovy brought the Jersey bounce, I ripped the synths, and Cade sealed the deal. The first version was cool—but we knew it could hit harder. When I sent the new drop, Groovy lost it: ‘Bro—we have to get Cade on this.’ And he crushed it. Easily one of my favorite records I’ve touched.”
The lyrics narrate a story enlivened by the accompanying music video. It begins with a woman using an old school iPod, and transitions to a fantastical world populated by unusual characters in a vivid club scene. Amidst strobe lights and a sweaty, dark atmosphere, the footage alternates between Sam Silver at the DJ booth, Groovy and Cade Clair among a lively crowd, girls dancing in the crowded club, and surreal snapshots reflecting the track’s emotional turmoil. The video showcases various chaotic elements; from a man performing shirtless curls on the dancefloor to a snorkeler in flippers, a horse-headed raver, and a mime-like dancer. It culminates dramatically with a girl collapsing in the crowd, as chaos ensues and the music fades, symbolizing the physical and emotional “heart attack” the song conveys.
Speaking on the meaning behind the single, Groovy explains: “Heart Attack captures its name in every way. The feeling of panic and chaos when let down emotionally triggers physical symptoms. Impending doom, a pit in your stomach, a situation that just doesn’t get better no matter how positive you remain. That’s a heart attack, that’s the song.”
ABOUT SAM SILVER
DJ/Producer Sam Silver is rapidly emerging as a powerhouse artist and producer, seamlessly blending elements of UK garage, house, and rap to create a sound that resonates globally. Raised in the vibrant landscape of New York City, Sam’s musical journey began early, starting with vinyl DJing in his teenage years. His bold spirit inspired him to sneak into Ultra Music Festival at age 15, and later that summer, he immersed himself in Ibiza’s renowned club culture.
In 2024, Sam relocated to Los Angeles to work out of Gravity Studios in Hollywood, co-founded by legendary producer JOYRYDE and partner ALRT. This move resulted in multiple collaborations with ALRT, including “Downtime” with up-and-coming vocalist Yona.
While his productions focus on UK garage, house, and a touch of DnB, he is also a passionate rap enthusiast, known for his meticulous curation and penchant for innovative collaborations with both rising stars and established artists, such as “Little After Sunset” featuring A$AP Twelvyy and pineappleCITI.
He has released tracks with TH3RD BRAIN Records and Bijou’s DnD Records and is currently signed with LA-based Boom Records. His recent collaborations include songs with ALRT, Yona, informal., and Babsy, as well as “Heart Attack” with GROOVY & Cade Clair.
ABOUT GROOVY
Born and raised in Union, New Jersey, GROOVY is an independent artist based in New Jersey whose musical expression defies genre. Growing up in a musical household with a father who was a globally touring house DJ, GROOVY was immersed in a steady diet of house music and hip-hop. The 26-year-old artist recalls witnessing creativity at its finest at a very young age, as artists from around the world made pit stops at his childhood home to collaborate with his father. In 2023, GROOVY is fearlessly embarking on a new musical journey, abandoning his roots in alternative hip-hop and moving toward a new, eclectic sound, effortlessly blending R&B, Neo-Pop, and House genres while leaving listeners with infectious music perfect for late nights on the dance floor.
ABOUT CADE CLAIR
Cade Clair came up quietly, uploading late-night demos from his bedroom on the East Coast, uncertain if anyone would ever find them. Now he’s charting records and joining sold-out tours, and the sound hasn’t lost a bit of its intimacy.
That’s the world Cade Clair moves through. Raised on the East Coast but living mostly in his headphones, Cade started making music as a way to create space where he could feel everything at once—heartbreak, hope, disillusionment, desire. What came out of it wasn’t quite R&B, wasn’t quite electronic, wasn’t quite pop—but something hazy and seductive in between. Something you listen to at 2 a.m. because it understands you better than your friends do.
Over the past year, that sound has stopped being a secret. Cade co-wrote and performed “LET ME SEE YA MOVE!” with Lumi Athena—a smash dance track that reached #26 on Billboard’s Electronic chart and cemented his reputation as a fearless collaborator. His other standouts—“LOOK DON’T TOUCH” with Odetari and “SHAKE THAT SHIT” with jnhygs—both charted as well, each one further expanding his reach across the electronic music spectrum.
Fresh off a sold-out US tour supporting ISOxo, Cade’s voice is becoming unmistakable—a throughline across the chaos, connecting fans of radically different scenes with something that feels true. From bass-heavy anthems to mournful midnight melodies, he doesn’t follow genre boundaries—he bends them to fit whatever world he’s building next.
