"Breach (Walk Alone)" is a song by Dutch DJ Martin Garrix and Polish DJ Blinders,[1] The song was written by Garrix, Blinders,Dewain Whitmore and Ilsey Juber, With Juber Performing Uncredited Vocals.[2] It is released via Stmpd label which is exclusively licensed to Epic Amsterdam, a division of Sony Music. and is included in Garrix's five-track Bylaw EP.
Described as a "pulsing, industrial electro-house tune," the song is described as taking Garrix back to his "electro roots".[3] Initially, the song was revealed on a mysterious website that published an artwork detailing songs from the now-released Plus EP. Among the songs was Breach (Walk Alone), that has been released as the first single from the EP and the first of five songs for a series of daily releases that had begun on 14 October 2018.[4] With elements of big room house, the song is composed of a "synth melody rife with tension builds up to a drop" and vocals of a female singer.[4] The song was premiered at the Tomorrowland 2018 festival during Garrix's stage performance.[5]
The song was described as "powered by a lead line that recalls classic hard house, it's an enormous slab of electro house with a sweet female vocal at its core. A serious fist-pumper of a track, it's been one of the most sought-after tracks in the scene since Garrix dropped it on Tomorrowland."[6] Consisting of two builds, it follows with a huge drop with bass sounds and synths.[7]
In the music video written and directed by Damian Karsznia, Garrix and Blinders make a cameo appearance.[3] The video is noted for its late-nineties "concepts of crypto-apocalypse". It features the main model (Ihor Bliusovych) battling his way through a red and blue "virtual-obsessed" world.[3] The credits feature cinematographer Julian Lomaga, script editors Mees Roozen, David Haringsma and Rick Batenburg, and editors Dieko Mirza, Damian Karsznia and Mees Roozen.[8]
The video was noted for having "Scanner Darkly-esque visuals that feature Garrix along with a number of unidentified individuals in what seems to be a drug-fueled nightclub experience."[9] [10]
