Biography[edit]
Having first produced UK garage and grime tracks in the early 2000s, Silkie came to prominence a few years later when he linked up with Antisocial Entertainment, who had started a show on Rinse FM.[2][3]
From there, he began to put out dubstep tracks on Antisocial as well as Deep Medi Musik.[4] In 2009, he released his first album, City Limits Volume 1, which attracted positive reviews from Pitchfork.[5] This was followed up shortly after by City Limits Volume 2 in 2011.[6] Alongside several other EPs, he released his third album, Fractals, in 2015 and his fourth, Panorama, in 2021.[7][8]
