Boston get ready for one serious night of musical mayhem! The one and only Silkie touches down in Beantown to deliver a dose of bass so funky fresh Bostonians won't know what hit them!
Silkie, Hailing from west London, Dropped his album “City Limits Volume 1” in 2009, followed by "City Limits 1.2-1.8," and of course the recent follow up "City Limits 2". His work has been greatly welcomed and it's a glorious explosion of physical energy and concentrated emotion. The combination of impassioned melodies, ruff London bass, wonky synth and jungle-esque flourishes on “City Limits Volumes 1 & 2” 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. Silkie is now seeing the fruits of his labor with DJ bookings both across the UK and worldwide. Through his emotive production vision, he’s long since exploded beyond his own personal City Limits.
Opening pressure sounds are brought to you by Boston's own BRYNMORE, who has been soothing lounges and distorting dance-floors in Boston for almost 10 years with his intricate blend of dub, experimental treats and lazy-boy beats.
The prominent Boston underground newspaper, Weekly Dig, says "Brynmore represents everything that is right about DJ culture" and the Boston Phoenix magazine Stuff @ Night notes, "Brynmore...blurs the lines between genres and styles...and constructs a story with his records." DJ Brynmore's talent of mixing contrasting genres is rare. From ambient to acidhouse, dub to techno , grime to experimental broken-beats; his sets are like a gently meandering stream that gradually widens into raging white-water rapids before deposting you into a crystal pool at the base of the falls. DJ Brynmore has graced the decks of many of Boston's giants: Wednesday @ The Phoenix Landing, Toneburst, Circle, Elements, Middle East, Western Front, Milkyway, Middlesex, Enormous Room, Redline, and he has opened for such luminaries as Mad Professor, Lee "Scratch" Perry and writer Joan Morgan-Murray.
Alongside Brynmore is the hungry, young and upcoming PRISM. Having an ear for deep jazzy tunes and hugely influenced by the early Metalheadz vibe, Prism continues this sound in his selection of dubstep, playing vinyl and unreleased dubs from around the world. Always in tune with the roots of what started both Dubstep and Drum and Bass, Prism’s selection rarely strays away from raw, emotional bass music but contains something for everyone which will insure a good time for all who catches one of his sets.
