LA-based producer Daniel Allan returns today with his electrifying new single, “Bet You Didn’t Need,” a dynamic collaboration with rising talents Arlo and fkblnde. Out now on Breakaway, the track serves as the lead single from Allan’s highly anticipated EP, set for release this September.
Blurring genre lines with ease, “Bet You Didn’t Need” fuses the rhythmic pulse of UK garage with the emotional depth of future bass, resulting in a track built for both intimate headphone listening and high-energy club floors. Written in Daniel Allan’s Los Angeles studio, the record captures the undeniable chemistry between all three artists, pairing euphoric vocal chops with sleek, forward-thinking production.
“‘Betyoudidntneed’ is a record that tries to toe the line between a clubbier UKG feel and the 2016 era of future bass,” shares Allan. “It’s inspired by the likes of Salute and Disclosure in the first drop, and basically all of 2016 SoundCloud in the second!”
With Arlo’s soaring pop sensibilities and fkblnde’s melodic finesse, “Bet You Didn’t Need” emerges as a standout collaboration poised for crossover success. The single seamlessly balances nostalgic influences with innovative sound design — a hallmark of Daniel Allan’s ever-evolving production style.
As the first taste of his forthcoming Breakaway EP, “Bet You Didn’t Need” underscores Daniel Allan’s commitment to pushing boundaries and shaping the next wave of electronic music.
