The Paris-based artist draws from a range of influences informed by his Afro-European heritage, his teen years as a rap producer and a subsequent move to Montreal, where he fell into the city’s ballroom scene. The result is truly idiosyncratic music that’s as richly varied as his path. Free The Nip is yet another example of the prolific producer’s inability to be pigeonholed. The tracks here all feature speedy, energetic percussion, but adopt different personalities via their unique styles. On ’Keep Moving’, a stately vocal loop, based on a speech from Martin Luther King, is laid over a whomping techno kick and propulsive maraca rhythms on speed. A hypnotic vocal loop also drives ’Concentrate’, with discordant violin synths adding tension to the driving beat, while sax synths deliver surprising funk in the track’s tail end. The title track sounds something like a Pride anthem, busting out from a glowy subdued synths into a full throttle party track with a rousing, lusty vocal and celebratory percussion. This energy continues on ’Ghetto Tribal Break’, loaded with a rumbling breakdown, reverbed Eurodance synths and layer upon layer of boisterous beats. ’Brotherhood’ is probably the hardest to categorise of the lot. A funky bassline, tribal percussion, weird FX and distorted vocals converge in the chorus, which sounds like something Prince might have produced on an acid bender. “After the epidemic of super-fast techno and house tracks dominated by rigid rhythms in recent years, it was time to add some groove to the music,” Silk says of the EP. “It’s an ode to freedom, driven by percussive rhythms. A celebration of love and positivism with no taboo.” Freedom is a driving force in Silk’s music, both in its political message, whether subtle or overt, and in his refusal to play by stylistic “rules”. Sous is delighted to present the latest thrilling instalment from a one-of-a-kind talent.
