Dust off some records. 
Stand is your BBoy stance. 
Grab a Mic. 
Paint some trains. 
Charge up that obsidian.
All you Colin Robinsons can hit the dmt and take a hike.

"When I was a little kid growing up in the woods off the paved road I was fascinated by the sky. The clouds, the sun, the stars, the way the colors changed during sunrise & sunset. I imagined anything that could traverse the space must have an incredible perspective. Naturally Hawks fit that description. After years of living in the city I had almost forgotten what they looked like up close. Once we moved out I started seeing red-shouldered and red-tailed hawks everywhere. They fly across the road in front of me when taking the kids to school, they swoop down to land on the fence in the backyard and fly by the window of the studio on sunny days. I started this song on my phone 30,000 feet above somewhere while imagining what those hawks might see on a blissful afternoon flight." -Mtsc

"This is an ode to my skateboard and skateboarding in general. So many of the twists and turns of my life have been guided by the little wooden toy that has become a major tribal sport for the entire world"

Somewhere in an unnamed valley deep in the medilän forest of uldïn in his hand crafted fern crusted den is where you might find what you seek. Possibly in a chair puffing away on periwinkle moss with an ear full of Lonnie Smith in his oversized headphones looking for snare sounds. Bound to the energy developed through sound arrangement & shit post mining, Silky Swans continues further into the rabbit hole to gather as much of the truth there is for him to comprehend. He has exonerated any attack from the black mist by the supreme guidance of the impetus. In the garden of his mind pulling past traumas and planting seeds to soul healing. Exploring the sounds and herbs of the ethos designing a different way to look at yourself through the creations of others. 

       It is a peaceful autumn but word of clouds gathering across shadow plains has made its way to his ear and it’s time to reconnect the triad to face the beasts of ego once again...







"Graham and I honestly don't know much about Silky.  He's a bit of an odd recluse.  What we do know is his meme game is pretty tight and we dig his approach when it comes to music.  Arms Filled with The Past is his first release with NSL and we're hoping to give you more, if he ever returns our calls, texts or emails in a timely manner."

Natural Selektion Labs is an audio production and post production studio that provides composition, recording, editing, mixing and mastering. 

Established in 2012 by brothers Matthew and Graham Borland, Natural Selektion Labs was the natural progression of creative projects they were working on as individuals. With the creation of 2011’s “Mana Machine,” and the idea to create a production and publishing house for their own music, the brothers came together under Natural Selektion Labs to produce and mix not only their own creations, but projects for other artists. 

In addition to the production house, the brothers perform live across the United States.  Collectively they’ve shared the stage with Doomtree, Ivan Ives (the lulls in traffic), Jel, Clavvs, Blueprint, Wake atl, Nasty Nasty, Dälek, Deku, Sole, Dj Spintelect (Blackstar), Sage Francis, Isness, Higher Learning, Black Milk, Dj Pain 1 and STS9 to name a few.

The NSL studio space was predominantly constructed using recycled and repurposed materials including wood removed legally from construction sites, donated retail fixtures, wine cases, excess fabrics, and denim insulation sustainably made of recycled cotton fibers. NSL is currently in the planning stages of converting the studio’s electrical power source to 100% solar generated energy.
