“Afraid of the Dark” is a deep house track by Der Stand, the experimental side project of French artist Graziano Tassi.
This atmospheric song explores the tension between fear and liberation, using darkness as both a source of anxiety and a transformative space. The track delves into the idea of being afraid of the dark, yet finding freedom and authenticity in its embrace.
The darkness, often seen as something to be feared, is presented here as a refuge. It disarms the ego and softens the defenses, allowing the heart’s true expression to emerge. On the dancefloor, the night becomes a space where vulnerability leads to freedom, encouraging genuine self-expression and connection.
With a deep, pulsing bassline, soulful vocals, and immersive atmospheric elements, “Afraid of the Dark” creates a hypnotic, emotional journey. The track invites listeners to embrace the unknown and connect with their true selves, making it perfect for both late-night club settings and intimate dancefloor experiences.
“Afraid of the Dark” is a powerful anthem for anyone who has danced through their fears, finding strength and authenticity in the shadows.
