Ez people,

Silk Recordings announces it's tenth release which has just hit beatport with a massive bang. Currently it will be featured for 4 weeks of exclusive business at Beatport then the release will hit all other usual online music outlets including itunes,juno,chemical,digital tunes and trackitdown etc.

Kobe - Balsamic
The owner of the Digital Colours record label comes in with his "experimental" guise - Kobe. Trademark tough beats laced with obscure and experimental fx add to the funky groove of this track. Chopped up amens fill out the track nicely and the old skool bass and recce sounds will keep you bouncing all night long.

Touch The Pain - Ultracode & Stereotype feat Tiiu
Full of crunchy digital soundscapes, hypnotizing melodies and uplifting vocals this track really grabs your attention and pulls you in. Massive amounts of space in the mix ensure that all elements push through on a big system. An essential tune for anytime in your set.

Furi Anga - Inside The Sun
This man is currently on fire with many releases under his belt and his latest releases on Translation and Shadybrain cement his profile within the d&B scene as a producer not to be reckoned with. The track starts with a beautiful hook and builds into a very emotional vocal that makes all your hairs stand on end. High quality drum programming and dark moody bass stabs are sure to please every taste within the electronic music scene.

Bulb - Cruelty Support
This is electronic music at it's best. Being played by many big name dj's and artists worldwide, this track stands out as a very natural and original piece of music. Hailing from St Petersburg in Russia, Bulb has many tricks up his sleeve and judging by his recent output of vocal tunes, this young producer is showing us that he's very versatile while still keeping it musical and fresh.

Forge & Hyperion Vision
Northern Lights/Keepers
[SILKD007]



For the 7th release on Silk, Forge (label owner) teams up with a new and upcoming producer from the motherland - Russia.
This collaboration takes the label back to the influential liquid funk sound that took hold of the scene in the early part of the decade.


Northern Lights:

This track takes us on a journey through lush piano chords tight breaks and a very upright and bouncy sub bass line. This tracks amazing sound will keep you moving with loads of energy and carefully placed edits to keep the listener wanting more. Complimented with this tracks superb arrangement and natural character it's sure to make those ears rattle day or night.

Keepers:

Comes to us as a more melodic piece, with uplifting melodies and sweeping pads throught the intro, they soon make way for the heavy and warm subsonic bass that cuts straight into the track. With a switch up that keeps the groove alive and an epic array of hand crafted percussion and beats, this cut can be played on your ipod walking to work, or at 2:00AM in the club and still get the job done.

Ultracode & Stereotype
Present The Mosaic E.P
[SILKD006]



The name of the e.p sums it all up really. A colourful array of futuristic twisted beats cold atmospherics and killer bass combos, these four tracks will be sure to please the crowd on the dancefloor at any time during the morning or night. There is something about the production in these tunes that just gives you a chill down your spine. Not only are they pushing the boundaries of drum n bass, they are keeping the programming and arrangements of these tracks very unique and complex. Giving the listener something to think about is an essential quality in the drum & bass game, these producers are doing more than just that, they are forever evolving and expanding their sound to keep that vital vibe alive. Having had previous releases on Silk and various other labels, these two gents from Ukraine are really going to be making head-waves in the scene with more releases lined up and a vision for future beats, it doesn't look like these two producers are going to give up that easily.

Up next we have:

Dominic Ridgway - Days Away/Beatuy Falls
[SILKD008] - Feb 15th

Blue Motion - Distant Sounds E.P
[SILKD009] - Feb 15th
