Silkie:
http://www.myspace.com/silkie86
West London born and raised, Silkie started producing Grime and Garage at the tender age of 15. Part of the Anti Social Entertainment camp (alongside Quest, Harry Craze and J5), nowadays his sound joins the dots between dubstep, UK garage and Detroit techno.
Having released records on Anti Social’s own imprint Break the Habit, as well as Skream’s Disfigured Dubz and the legendary Soul Jazz imprint , Silkie is now signed to Mala's Deep Medi. Debut album, City Limits Volume 1, is described by label head honcho and dubstep pioneer Mala as " a glorious explosion of physical energy and concentrated emotion" and is the first Album (and even CD for that matter!) the label has put out to date!
The combination of impassioned melodies, ruff London bass, wonky synth and jungle-esque flourishes on “City Limits Volume 1” have made Silkie and his Anti Social Entertainment camp mainstays of the biggest and most influential venues in dubstep, like FWD>>, DMZ London & Leeds, as well as London’s leading station Rinse FM.
Oneman:
http://www.myspace.com/1mandj
The rise of Oneman represents a true rarity in the post garage scene; for the most part Oneman plays neither hot of the press dubplates nor even new records. As the man himself says "I've never been one to make beats or chase down producers for dubs…. I think it's just as important to have DJs that play old, shelved tunes as well alongside new stuff. I'm just on a party vibe, straight up."
Oneman’s talent lies in his unparalled ability to recontextualise 2 step garage into dubstep, grime, 'wonky' and beyond. Instead of gaining a reputation for production output, Oneman’s mixes between classic tunes are so breathtaking that they've become known in their own right. He remains the only artist to appear on Mary Anne Hobbs Radio 1 show without ever releasing a record; further kudos includes being Kode 9’s (amongst a long list of others!) favourite DJ - and to our minds – you can’t get a bigger props than that…
Expect an education, but first and foremost expect to dance….
