BIG THURSDAY@LUV!*LIL SILVA*(Night Slugs/UK)

Another BIG THURSDAY@LUV this week!

In September, Roska rocked LUV and we loved it,
so this Thursday, Lil Silva, another king-pin of the London Funky scene will follow up in massive style.

Sounds like this just don't make it to Korea often! So you definitely don't wanna miss this. Big ups to LUV and friends for making it happen!

Lil Silva's arrival in dance music in late 2008 was as explosive as one of his club-rattling drops.

Here was an 18-year-old from Bedford making music with all the minimal machine funk of Chicago’s Trax label, the aggression of early grime, a tropical resonance with soca and the sonic invention of The Neptunes.

His debut 12”, with the echoed bongo hits of 'Seasons' and 'Funky Flex' on the flip defined the early moments of UK Funky. The next white label blended proto-grime tune ‘Pulse X’ with his own ‘Funky Flex’, recreating it as a founding tune of UK Funky.

The productions crossed genres with support from Hyperdub’s Kode9 and Berlin’s Modeselektor. In 2010 Lil Silva released the ‘Night Skankers’ EP on Night Slugs. For 2011 he is preparing an EP dubbed the ‘Patience EP’ on rising label Good Years.
