Deep Medi offer something a little more substantial than their usual 12"s
with the debut long player from Antisocial Ents' Silkie. It's fair to say
the dubstep scene has splintered and refracted into myriad Sub(bass)styles
over the last couple of years, but at the epicentre of the scene are a few
artists who have maintained the original spirit of the style while alloying
it successfully with influences that were always hovering on the edges, but
never fully integrated. Silkie is one of those artists, hailing from the
hotbed of South London, he's heated elements of deeper house and synth
driven soul around the glowing core of DMZ's bassbins to create one of the
lushest fusions in the scene. 'City Limits' is a collection of 13 tracks,
including the brilliant 'Purple Love' and 'Cats Eyes' exploring this style
with velveteen synths descended in the tradition from Larry Heard to MJ
Cole and so forth till they're meshed with the rattling patterns and
insistent bass pulse of dubstep. This is dubstep music with one (respectful)
eye on the ladies and the other on the floor and for those reasons it's a
brilliant summer heater and the perfect example of the congruity of house
and dubstep. Fuck it, it's all dance music innit?! Top album. Tip!
