............................
Jacob Henry and Tom Fall are thrilled to present a sampler of
standout tunes from the Silk Music Showcase 07 compilation. From
chill and cinematic to uplifting and euphoric, these four
exceptional cuts from Robert Nickson pres. RNX, Andromedha,
Airdraw & Jo.E, and eleven.five represent the full range of deep
and progressive sounds on Jacob and Tom's mixes.
The Silk Music Showcase 07 sampler begins with Painting The
Skies, a rapturous melodic progressive house number from
legendary composer RNX (aka Robert Nickson), whose nearly
20-year career has produced many a masterwork. In the early
going, a rolling eighth note groove lays the groundwork for a
euphonious chord progression, which briskly crescendos toward
the main breakdown. At that climactic juncture in the
arrangement, RNX deconstructs the layered themes, leaving just
the central piano arpeggio and main chord sequence moments
later, a higher-octave piano arpeggio and reverberating new
synth lead join the fray, creating a symphony of synths that can
only be described as transcendent.
The anthemic drop to follow represents the pinnacle of
peak-hour, melodic progressive house.
Label veteran Andromedha, whose extraordinary take on A.M.R's
Pale Blue was a highlight from our recent Silk Remixed 09
release, now presents the exhilarating single Harbour Calling.
In the opening minutes, the song's thunderous low-end
frequencies create an especially intense and suspenseful aura,
as the lead theme lurks patiently in the shadows. Suddenly, the
beats drop out, and we are left with a stirring orchestral
section, from which the lead theme finally emerges, channeled
through the evocative tones of an electric guitar. In the final
movement of the breakdown, the swelling bass elements reappear,
in addition to a gorgeous top-line arpeggio. In the drop and
closing minutes of the composition, these layers coalesce to
create a tidal wave of sound that is absolutely mesmerizing.
Argentine talents Airdraw and Jo.E, both hailing from Crdoba,
presented the memorable Bryde's Whale and Lightness on our label
in 2018. Their collaborative project makes a triumphant return
with The Man Who Could Only Play Winter Notes, which, much like
their prior work, bridges the genres of progressive house and
trance. A robust groove steadily propels the listener into the
cosmos, as otherworldly symphonic and vocal textures conjure the
vision of a celestial event. In the main break, the soaring
string themes, flanked by a variety of fluttering side melodies,
prove profoundly moving. The breathtaking string and piano score
continues to unfurl, as this inspired production comes to its
sweeping conclusion.
Closing out the Silk Music Showcase 07 Sampler, celebrated label
veteran eleven.five once again serves up a beautiful
contribution to our compilation series. The noir-tinged Echo
Foxtrot is a spiritual sequel to his 2013 single Echo both songs
employ a variety of jazz-influenced instrumental motifs and
evoke a loungy, after-hours aura. A chilled groove in the early
going features a funky, resonant bassline an eleven.five
signature that compels the listener to bop along. Meanwhile, a
haunting trumpet theme and stuttering vocal stab reinforce the
Baudelairean notion of modernity, which thematically imbues the
composition. The mystique, eroticism, and fleeting beauty of
city life are once again eloquently conveyed by eleven.five via
this infectious tune.
