Due to unforeseen and mysterious circumstances (seriously) lead to a problem with the original press of Silkie - City Limits volume 1 LP (Medilp002). Someone once told me doing a triple pack vinyl is a nightmare. I laughed it off, jinx!
Even though only some of the LP's had a fault, I've worked hard other the years to make sure all of my records are of a high standard. Even to this day the cause remains a bit of a mystery, everyone including the producer, label boss, mastering engineer, manufacturer and distributor communicated extensively trying to figure out what had happened. In the end I decided to get the whole album re-mastered and re-cut. So I am a pleased again to announce the re-release of Silkie's debut album 'City Limits Volume 1. Available: 9/11/09

DEEP MEDi Musik are proud to present the debut album from one of dubstep’s most exciting artists: Silkie. Hailing from west London, “City Limits Volume 1” is a glorious explosion of physical energy and concentrated emotion. Deep Medi is the burgeoning stable of dubstep pioneer, Mala (Digital Mystikz/DMZ).
The combination of impassioned melodies, ruff London bass, wonky synth and jungle-esque flourishes on “City Limits Volume 1” have made Silkie and his Anti Social Entertainment camp mainstays of the biggest and most influential venues in dubstep, like Fwd>>, DMZ London & Leeds, as well as London’s leading station Rinse FM.
The album is the culmination of eight years hard work: Silkie began producing at 15 while still at school. He’s now seeing the fruits of his labour with DJ bookings both across the UK and worldwide. Through his emotive production vision, he’s long since exploded beyond his own personal City Limits.
