Amid the increasingly homogenous world of British electronic music, Lil Silva stands out like a fluorescent blast of energy.
Each track, each release seems to come packed with new ideas, all delivered in an effortless style which could only be his own.
Upcoming three tracker 'Drumatic' is a case in point. Opening with the propulsive mid-range tear up that is 'Drumatic', the release ends with the surging minimalist 808s of '606'.
Clash is able to premiere new cut 'New Squeeze'. Poly-rhythmic ticks and trickling synths are set against bubbling water and flashes of sound which combine to produce the effect of physical force.
Intense machine funk, the jagged edges recall the impact of UK grime, except with one vital difference – Lil Silva is able to present these influences in a matrix of his own design.
Check it out now.
'Drumatic' will be released on May 11th.
