Who Is Lil Silva?
Lil Silva’s current production output and live credentials seem a far cry from the Bedford-based, makeshift studio from which he exploded in 2008. Although club shows have got bigger and original/collaborative releases have got better, Lil Silva’s musical influence and focus still remains: an unabashed amalgamation of the minimal machine funk of Chicago’s Trax label, the aggression of early grime, a tropical resonance with soca, a semblance with the rugged darkness of modern techno and the sonic invention of The Neptunes.
It was the Seasons and Funky Flex white label that first catapulted the then 18 year-old producer to the forefront of the UK underground. Lil Silva’s echoed bongo hits, brazen grime synths and hard-to-imitate marching momentum had every goon in the room on their feet. His building following quickly picked up the limited 12” Pulse X/Funky Flex blend and by 2010, the formative London imprint Night Slugs were hooked on Silva’s sound, commissioning the storming ‘Night Skanker EP’.
Collaborating on the dreamy ‘On Your Own’ track with friend and peer, Sampha, has steered Lil Silva onto an array of high profile remix work for the likes of SBTRKT, AlunaGeorge and Lana Del Rey. With what seems like an inherent ability for more composition focused music making, 2013 will see the ex-bedroom producer turn his hand to songwriting. Working on original material and collaborations with help from Sampha, Jamie Woon and BANKS to name but a few, Lil Silva will take his melody-writing talent into the club context and beyond.
