Keeping with the same high quality as the recent slew of Vinyl releases, Solace’s first digital debut is headed up with none other than label owner ‘Stole’ & collaboration partner ‘Integration Now’.

Together their new production partnership entitled ‘The Hybridz’ has been turning heads across all EDM scenes with  12” releases scheduled in for d&b labels Silk & Peer Pressure along with the various remixes and last year’s dubby smash – ‘Roots Of Resistance/Mind Splicer’. Not sticking to one genre and making everything from House to Garage and right thru to d&b this duo set is to break down all boundaries with their intricate beats and pounding bass.

The title track ‘Tribal Ghosts’ is a 2-step minimal number, heavenly pads and melodies accompany the low bass while lashings of ‘Burial’ type flavors complement the rest of the track throughout.

‘Blue Sunrise’ comes thru as the most  tribal track of the E.P. Driving conga rhythms and massive sub soon make way for the melodic pitched down vocal that highlights the track. Glimmering pads and atmospheres round off this superb 132bpm track.

Bass is one of the main elements on the E.P and ‘Vibrations’ has tons of it. Speaker rattling subs accompanied with driving beats and a syncopated percussion rhythm. Carefully placed edits and sublime guitar melodies make this track one for the ladies. Twisted drums and skippy 2-step rhythms start this track of again with a vibe reminiscent of ‘Burials’ early works.

Haunting atmospherics and errie strings slide in and out of filtered edits. Although the most chilled out track on the E.P ‘Liberade’ does not disappoint with a huge wobbly bass and sub combo to fill out the bottom end.

Silk Recordings is proud to announce Empire! The London duo step up to the plate for the labels 11th release.  Empire have been running hot lately with plays across all major airwaves, podcasts, track-listings and clubs. The lads have currently been keeping very busy playing gigs in the U.K and abroad and have many more tunes ready to be drawn. With amazing production skills and a very original and futuristic sound Empire’s release is set to be Silk’s biggest to date. Punchy beats, dark grooves and evolving bass patterns make these tunes perfect for the biggest club systems to your favorite home speakers.

The first track – Invaders delivers glossy, polished beats which incorporates a funky glitch element that runs throughout the track. Haunting atmospheric layers and subtle fx really bring out the spacious sounds in the mix. With a heavy hitting bass line and a unique arrangement this is the sound of the future.

Empire – Invaders

Empire – Nazca

The second track – An Infectious melody accompanied by crisp drum programming makes this track shine above the rest The rumbling sub bass really hits the sweet spot while the energy is kept up with carefully placed percussion and elegant drum edits. From beginning to end it’s evident why this track fits in the sets of many dj’s across the globe

Gerwin is a 21-year-old drum & bass producer from Bordeaux, France. Gerwin has been producing music for most of his life – ‘I first started playing the guitar when I was 12 and I’m still playing. I really discovered drum & bass and electronic music when I was around 17 and started producing when I was 19′. Having already developed a sound for himself, Gerwin describes his music as – ‘My music is “musical” before all. As I listen to a lot of music genres, from soul / jazz/ hip hop to classical / pop / rock, I really need to make dnb with more than a rolling beat and a bassline. To describe it in simple words, I think my music is smooth but fat at the same time, hopeful and definitely melodic’.

Gerwin recently took out the ‘Seba – Painted Sky’ Remix competition for Knowledge Magazine, and earned himself a 12″ release and a some amazing prizes from the likes of Abelton and Soundcloud. You can catch his debut on Silk – ‘My Hidden Side’ & ‘Superhero’ which is out now and has been reciveing some epic support from main room Dj’s within the scene.

Into the future who knows what flavours and music Gerwin will bring to the table, be sure of one thing – it will be musical and an amazing listening experince for all.

Solace Records is pleased to announce its first release. Stepping up for the labels very first release we have none other than ‘Clubroot’, one of dubsteps most successful and talented producers. Clubroot has had a grip firmly on the scene for a numbers of years with his hypnotic and emotional sound. Currently putting the finishing touches on his 3^rd artist L.P, the L.P is set to be released on the American based ‘Lo Dubs’ imprint.

Having received a wide variety of DJ support from across the board – James Zabiela, Sasha to Mary Anne Hobbs, Rob Da Bank and TRG, and glowing reviews from Pitchfork, Bigup Magazine and more – it’s fair to say Clubroot’s sound has touched a nerve and is receiving the attention it rightly deserves.

‘Scars’ starts off the ‘A’ side with a thunderous beat and emotive pads that creep their way into the track. Reminiscent of an early DnB vibe, ‘Scars’ soon lets loose with a massive pounding sub and vocal hook that carries the deep and provocative vibe throughout the rest of the track.

The flip side ‘Hellion’, is the monster of the release. Atmospherics and a menacing under glow build the track to an almighty drop. Razor sharp break beats coupled with huge reece stabs and mid range bass make this one perfect for the late night DJ.

Clubroot – Hellion

Clubroot – Scars
