Today, we’ve been treated to a full stream of his Lil Silva‘s record for the Good Years label. The Distance marks a giant leap forward from the UK funky and grime-indebted producer, seeing Lil Silva tackling more song-based tunes, as he’s collaborated with vocalists such as Sampha and Rosie Lowe. While the EP’s two vocal tracks are suggestive of a more pop-oriented direction for the talented producer, tracks like “One Twenty” and “Mask” showcase a hybrid bass music blend that recalls his earlier releases for labels such as Night Slugs. Lil Silva will be playing a few select US shows in late-August/early-September, the dates of which can be found below, along with a full stream of The Distance. [XLR8R]
