Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Lil Silva

one-off collaboration with off-white c/o virgil abloh. off-white picture disk with mint card and clear envelope. very limited.

lil silva’s new ep sees him exploring love and meaning in his unique hybrid uk production idiom. less tied to the frenetic pace of his for club play only instrumentals, “jimi” sees him modulate through textures, in a meditative state of mind, traveling his inner visions and memories. silva’s vocals are weaved through tracks “the play”, “lines” and “struggle” while newcomer cosima contributes to the spine-tingling “caught up” and los angeleno singer kent jamz blesses the epic night time soul of “de ja”. the ep has received big support on radio from the likes of benji b, annie mac, four tet, gilles peterson and mistajam, with “de ja” being placed on the bbc 1xtra a list and “caught up” featuring on the rinse fm a list.

single sided vinyl release, featuring the george fitzgerald remix of lil silva’s “lines”.

minimal, techy with bounce, swing and a lethal hollow bass, this is how lil silva kicks off 2013. already receiving support from the scenes pace setters mickey pearce, t williams, dva, bok bok and shy fx, *the split / venture* is in the series of white labels silva is releasing himself on ls whites. limited to 500 copies on white vinyl, previous ls whites have sold out quickly. the *the split / venture* release is silvas parting shot to a year that will see him release a full ep in spring.

lil silva returns to night slugs to drop the second installment in our new club constructions series.
cc is all about stripped-back, raw and highly functional tracks made specifically for the club. where l-vis 1990s first venture into the series presented a brutalist vision of house, silvas volume 2 represents the vital flip side to the concept: broken, grimey rhythm tracks.

having heard his music consistently tear up dancefloors countrywide, good years linked up with bedfords finest, and night slugs collaborator lil silva to put out his new 3 tracker, named the patience ep.
featuring two harder club instrumental tracks and one incredibly special vocal tune with sampha (young turks / sbtrkt fame), thats been supported by the likes of annie mac, mista jam and sinden to name a few. we hope that this is a good indication of the quality of whats to come from good years in the future.
supported by: annie mac, mista jam, benji b, sinden, scratcha, seb chew, marcus nasty, one man, roska, bok bok, l-vis 1990, girl unit, jamie xx, marco del horno, seiji, deadboy ...

in recent years lil silva has been responsible for some of the uks biggest underground bangers, with his uniquely stripped-back, heavyweight style blending jacking house with the raw sonic energy of 1st generation grime.
following up on his ltd white label release in april, night slugs are proud to present night skanker, lil silvas iconic new ep.
the four melodic, synth-laden tracks are typically raw and grimey but also run deeper with a newfound luminescence. constructed from a robotic new sound palette, silvas tuff flange-funk drum programming and twisted carnival rhythms are permeated by razor-sharp neon synths, jacking cowbells, massive slabs of sub bass and even silvas own sampled vocals. these are industrial-size riddims for worldwide dancefloor demolition!

night slugs are extremely proud to announce a new addition to their roster in the form of the one and only lil silva! the young mastermind behind potent uk funky anthems such as seasons, funky flex, different and the funky pulse, lil silvas house-meets-grime style has become iconic of the ukf scene. his tracks are cornerstones for djs like marcus nasty, who describes them as having the unique ability to consistently bun down raves. with that in mind lil silvas addition to the night slugs family makes perfect sense. his contribution to their limited vinyl-only white label series is a taster of what can be expected from his official ep for ns, dropping later this year. in the mean time feast yourself on the ultra-upfront a million, featuring carnival synths, glass breaks and snare destruction in the typical silva fashion. on the flip, silva pays tribute to house pioneer kenny dope in the form of the ultra-stripped down bassline-driven banger no hooks. bruckout time!

lil silva treats the house genre in uk funky style with this wicked 2-tracker.

with >pulse vs flex< still in our head (and legs), lil silva delivers again: >power< and >different< are here to keep you movin!
