After four years in hibernation, Brisbane’s finest purveyors of heavyweight broken-beat badassery are back in business.

Silent Shadow is the brainchild of Brisbane based producer and multi-instrumentalist Cameron Swales, who’s also worked as Reactor and part of the now-defunct PCD. They smashed their way into the Brisbane clubbing consciousness in March 2007 and remained the only live drum’n’bass show in town until April 2010, when band members followed the call of career opportunities in Sydney and LA. After submitting a pair of tracks to the BNE compilation of Brisbane independent electronica in late 2013, the fires were stoked for Silent Shadow’s 2014 return.

The Silent Shadow sound draws influence from such slamming drum'n'bass acts as Noisia and Concord Dawn, fusing that sound with elements of glitch-hop, breaks, rock, progressive and trance influences. It’s a raw and brutal approach which truly comes to life in the live environment.

Running the show on a set-up of laptop, synth and six-string bass, Cameron is joined on stage by drumming brother Kris, himself a house music producer with Skins and formerly the driving force behind genre-smashing live act D-Ko. Past members of the live ensemble include hype man Justin Parris (aka JP) on the mic, while Dave Dri of progressive tech production unit Segue was also known to bring his arsenal of synths, samplers and bass faces on stage. 

Silent Shadow have rocked dancefloors at events like the massive Parklife festival, DnBBQ (in Sydney and Byron Bay), Junglettes, Rukus, Phat Albeats and Roll Deeper, racking up support slots for Concord Dawn, Spor & Ewun, Benga & Skream and Black Sun Empire the way. A collaboration with Brisbane d’n’b maestro Operon produced Science, an early morning atmospheric gem picked up for release by German label Camino Blue Recordings in 2010.
