Marking the 10th anniversary of their debut production, Silicone Soul deliver a self- titled album featuring their greatest material to date, on their long-time home, Soma Records.
It’s been a long, happy and successful ten years for Silicone Soul. Flick forward a decade and the internationally renowned DJ and production tag-team of Craig Morrison and Graeme Reedie are rightly established for their mixing abilities and forward-thinking approach to electronic music.
The much-loved duo has pioneered excellence in underground techno and house for the past decade. Destruction on the dance floor is assured whenever they appear, especially as their production exploits continue to evolve and surprise. Deep and emotive electronic music has never sounded so inspiring.
Probably best known for their global smash and cult classic Right On, Right On!, the spotlight was soon thrust in their direction thanks as the duo became part of dance music’s red carpet brigade. So much so that former BBC 1 music jamboree program Top of The Pops came knocking at Silicone Soul’s door.
Of course Morrison and Reedie stuck two fingers up at commercialism and declined the invitation. Still, it’s this no-holds-barred attitude of refusing to compromise that keeps the boys’ going. Well, that and a ranging appetite for exploring new ideas and turning them into something uniquely cutting edge.
Silicone Soul has produced three critically acclaimed albums that perfectly illustrate their craft of house, electronic and techno. Since the release of esteemed albums A Soul Thing (2000), Staring into Space (2005) and Save Our Souls (2006), the lads have constantly toured the globe while maintaining attention to their revered Darkroom Dubs record label (home to Sei A, Gary Beck and Mirror Music).
‘Silicone Soul’ the album, is a journey; a memory box of the past; snapshot of the present and vision
of an optimistic future. Opening with ‘Koko’s Song’, a dedication to a fan who died
suddenly, the melancholy yet enlightening atmosphere begins their self-titled story.
‘Dust Ballad II’ is the next EP release, a sensual and haunting record, it takes the listener
into heightened dream-like realms. Gliding on to the laidback rhythms of ‘Language of the
Soul’, with its hypnotic bass-driven melody and subdued vocals that seep with purity and
mysticism.
A dub version of the first single released from this project, ‘Call of The Dub,’ will please old
fans of Silicone Soul’s productions. Its archaic tapestry of sounds, including a train horn,
bleeds with originality and drive. The tempo steps down for ‘David Vincent’s Blues’,a
surreal ballad that references the lead character in 1960s sci-fi classic, ‘The Invaders’.
Silicone Soul have a unique ability to create intricate productions that stand the test of
time, yet appeal to current dancefloors. Hurt People’, ‘The Pulse’ and
‘Midnite Man’ each transcend traditional music labels and produce cinematic textures.
‘Seasons Of Weird’ treads into nostalgic territory, harking back to an early acid house
sound, while still sounding entirely relevant.
Concluding the proceedings, ‘Dogs Of Les Ilhes’ was inspired by Craig’s home village.
Inspired by the sounds emitting from the silence of the night -hunting dogs howling and
the bells of the church clock tower -it provides an eerie and epic close to this
masterpiece. Dipping between eras and moods, ‘Silicone Soul’ has the depth of purpose
and an enduring spirit.
