In recent years Lil Silva has been responsible for some of the UK's biggest underground bangers, with his uniquely stripped-back, heavyweight style blending jacking house with the raw sonic energy of 1st generation grime.Following up on his limited white label release for NS in April, Night Slugs are proud to present "Night Skanker", Lil Silva's iconic new EP. The four melodic, synth-laden tracks are typically raw and grimey but also run deeper with a newfound luminescence. Constructed from a futuristic new sound palette, Silva's tuff flange-funk drum programming and twisted carnival rhythms are permeated by razor-sharp neon synths, jacking cowbells, massive slabs of sub bass and even Silva's own sampled vocals. These are industrial-size riddims for worldwide dancefloor demolition! As a bonus the EP features two archetypal Lil Silva classics. The first is the devastating "Seasons", previously released only only on rare white label vinyl, and now remastered and available digitally for the first time. The second is "Pulse vs Flex" which samples the iconic distorted bass signal of Musical Mob's "Pulse X", one of the first ever grime tracks.
