Biografía
- Avant garde Producer, vocalist, remixer and DJ, Jaymie Silk is always looking to break codes with one mission in mind : “Let's Put The Groove Back in Techno and House Music”.Jaymie Silk doesn’t make straight up-and-down techno or house music. The Paris-based artist draws from arange 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. Quickly noticed for his productions mixing rhythms from the Jersey Club, combining African percussions with techno and house sounds, his avant-gardism propels him in the sphere of those artists perpetually challenging the established norms. Constantly playlisted by renowned DJs on BBC, Rinse, NTS or platforms like HOR, described as a "prodigy" or in the lineage of "great black innovators of house and techno" by Juno Daily, it is by releasing projects and remixes on labels like Fool's Gold, Shall Not Fade or Pelican Fly that he asserts himself as a unique artist. His album "The Rise and Fall Of Jaymie Silk & Rave Culture" and his recent EP "Rub Music Vol.1: Artificial Realness" have been acclaimed by the electronic media, which ranked them in the list of the best albums of 2022 and the best projects of January 2023. Among the first to use AI-generated voices, Jaymie has shown, once again, that he still defies the norms, as evidenced by the notion of Rub Music that he introduced this year (contraction of Rave and Club Music). Now back in Paris, whether it was with his monthly talk show on Refuge Worldwide where he talked about mental health, on stage (Igloofest, Piknic Electronik, Trabendo...) or via guest mixes as for Annie Nightingale on BBC Radio 1, ''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”.̸Free The Nip | EP | Sous Music Ghetto Carnival | EP | Self Release Rub Music Vol.1 : Artificial Realness | EP | Pelican Fly The Rise & Fall of Jaymie Silk & Rave Culture | Album | Shall Not Fade The Legend of Jack Johnson | EP | Shall Not Fade Young, Broke & Fabulous | Album | Pelican Fly Diasporave 1,2 & 3 | EPs | Pelican Fly Day2Day | Single | Trekkie Trax Savage | EP | Frite Nite Watch Me | EP | Knightwerk Records Moonshine presents : SMS Location Vol1 (producer) Nobody | Single | Resources No One Like U | Single | Bel Air Sounds 13 | EP | Boukan Records Black is the color (Nina Simone Tribute) | Boukan Records Physical | Out on BKR 006 | Boukan Records Trouble In Paradise | LP |Ghost Club Records GCRF001 -Sweetest Sin | EP | Ghost Club Records Ballroom | EP |
