Words by Kris Needs (Edited) Since first appearing on Slam’s seminal Soma label in the late 90’s through to their more recent releases on Darkroom Dubs. Silicone Soul have always held a special place in the overcrowded field of electronic dance music. Their pioneering and evolving sound have seen them release four critically acclaimed albums, gain residencies at some of Europe’s most celebrated clubs, scoop numerous DJ Mag awards, play festival arenas, storm the UK charts and launch their own imprint. But their passions and instincts belong to the dancefloor, famously turning down Top of the Pops in 2001 when their club anthem 'Right On' broke out of the underground into the Top 10. Free from vacuous trends, it is their esoteric, melodically driven and timeless style that have seen them remain relevant today. 2011 has seen them celebrate their 50th Darkroom Dubs release with a roster that has included the likes of Kiki, Robag Wruhme and Alex Niggemann. Whilst becoming a mainstay of the UK’s most influential techno label, culminating in the release of their "20 Years Of Soma Records" Dj Mix Compilation. http://listn.to/4siliconesoul
