Silky

Originally mentored by the ‘Godfather of House’ Frankie Knuckles, Silky is a vinyl-lover at heart and his old-school mixing techniques and exclusive cutting edge track selections only serve to amplify his roots in early electronica, house and techno. What is the sound of Silky? It can be described as innovative and captivating deep underground music, dark and emotive yet driving and uplifting. His career has seen him work regularly alongside some of the biggest talents in the industry such as Guy Gerber, Gregor Tresher and Argy to name a few. Already a prolific touring DJ, Silky has headlined shows of the calibre of Sullivan Room (New York), The Standard Hotel in Los Angeles and Kee Club in Hong Kong. His latest single, a collaboration with Canada's My Favorite Robot, is a dark, acid-tinged cover of the Tears for Fears classic ‘Shout’, which entered straight into the Beatport Indie Dance & Nu Disco chart top 20 in December 2012 and got heavy support from the likes of Seth Troxler, Noir, Clive Henry, Andrew Grant, Droog and many more. Kicking off the New Year by playing the opening of BPM Festival in Mexico, 2013 will see Silky launch his new record label ‘Faceless Recordings’ alongside good friends Climbers and Barber, and will see him release a number of very exciting solo singles and collaborations with Jonny Cruz, Nitin, Jon Charnis, Climbers, Barber and more.
