PIVCAST 044 By Silverlining

In recent years, the term “tech-house” has taken on a whole new direction that has swayed some considerable distance from its origins. One of the early protagonists of this much-misunderstood sub-genre is Asad Rzvi aka Silverlining. His nineties deep, groovey garage tinged house is nothing short of seminal and appearing first on OG labels such as Wiggle and Wrong, Asad set a template for what would become such a huge sound of current times. For those that perhaps missed the boat with the first edition of tracks such as ‘Pleasure and Treasures’, ‘Spannerd In Dub’, ‘Pearl Divers’ or ‘Breezin’ Thru’, Asad has kindly updated these stunning releases by re-releasing them through his own Silverlining Dubs imprint to critical acclaim.

Trommel.154 – Silverlining

Last week's Ode to Nat at Wiggle was a moment of pure and electric bliss that wholesomely reanimated the original spirit of Wiggle as it did the ethos of its dear, late co-founders Nathan and Lou. Their contagious grins could be felt filling what remaining space was left between the dancers. I arrived exhausted after an 11-hour door-to-door journey from Romania, but the energy from all the faces, familiar and new, quickly swept all that away. Unsurprisingly, Fabian and Josh clearly have it in their blood to pick up the baton from their parents under the guidance of Terry. Everyone who I heard played impeccable sets, but I'm just gutted I didn't get to catch the boys with Harvey under their 3 minds alias earlier on, but I heard it was on point as ever. Wiggle is back, and long may it thrive! Oi oi!

Big thanks to Eddie, who kindly recorded my set.

Silverlining @ Wiggle | An Ode to Nat (July '23)

“I recorded this mix at home using just a pair of Technics and a Mastersounds mixer. For this one, I wanted to explore the darker side of my sound while trying to keep it emotive. It moves around through breakbeat house, deep techno, early progressive, acid, detroit and electro; all of which have inspired me since the beginning and I still love playing today. 

I’ll most likely be playing along these lines on the 12th. Room 1 is always a joy to play in, and I’m beyond excited to test out new system upgrade!”

Joining us on the podcast this week is Silverlining. A prolific producer with over 200 vinyl releases and remixes across almost three decades, Asad is a true legend of the UK underground, his inventive, deep sound recognisable across the many aliases he’s operated under.

On DIM330, his considerable skills as a DJ take centre stage. We’ve already had this one on repeat—nearly two hours of deeply dug house, mixed with a seamlessness that reflects his decades both in the studio and the booth. Classy, dynamic and the perfect midsummer soundtrack.

DIM330 - Silverlining

Silverlining, aka Asad Rizvi,accidentally fell into DJing in 1993, when he was invited to host an experimental techno show on a London pirate radio station, being the only person they know with any records of that ilk. When he first committed his early studio productionsto vinyl in 1995, he only expected it to be a short-lived stint of fun. The intentionwas to have a go at makingsome records that smelted the shuffle-heavy grooves of US house, the abstract energy of Detroit and deep techno, using the mixing desk as an instrument in the way that the early dub technicians did in Jamaica. Before long, he was invited to play his first gigs from Brixton to Berlin to Buenos Aires.Two decades on, the man-hours he has put into the studio and decks can                       be heard at every instance. With over 150 titles under different names, old titles recently have been fetching up to £75 on Discogs. In response he has decided to launch his Silverlining Dubs imprint to make the music accessible to ordinary vinyl buyers. The label has addressed the demand, whilst re-contextualising the sought-after back catalogue with fresh tracks, re-edits, and lesser-known gems. All titles have hitthe top 10 genre vinyl charts on Juno, with onenumber one.After several years of using other names, he has reinvented the Silverlining guise with the benefit of an extra 20 yearsexperience.All the while, his sophisticated, party-savvy DJ sets have been tickling feet and minds alike in over 40 countries, in hundreds of venues over from warehouses to main stages at festivals, often with repeat bookings that are too numerous to count. Although he has not headlined Ibiza’ssuper-clubs, he has played some of the world’s most illustrious venues, and remained a regular proponent insome of the world’s finest butlesser-discussed party scenes such asthose on the West Coast of USA andCanada, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Brazil and more. Straddling the lines between the contemporary and the old school, his addictive journey sets encapsulatea broad spectrum of moodsthat can be communicated within the 4/4 and electro format

After two decades of DJing, running labels, and producing hundreds of releases, the chap behind this project certainly is no fledgling. His eclectic, party-savvy sets have been tickling feet & minds alike since the mid-90s.

To some, the name Silverlining might evoke hazy scenes during the 1990s of rumbling bass lines, flickering high hats and dubbed out vocals in cavernous underground spaces. To those hearing it for the first time, there is a freshness and authenticity that emerges from his trademark aesthetic. One thing is evident: the Silverlining sound has proven to withstand the sands of time.

Silverlining, aka Asad Rizvi, accidentally fell into DJing in 1993, when he was invited to host an experimental techno show on a London pirate radio station, being the only person they know with any records of that ilk. When he first committed his early studio productions to vinyl in 1995, he only expected it to be a short-lived stint of fun. The intention was to have a go at making some records that smelted the shuffle-heavy grooves of US house, the abstract energy of Detroit and deep techno, using the mixing desk as an instrument in the way that the early dub technicians did in Jamaica. Before long, he was invited to play his first gigs from Brixton to Berlin to Buenos Aires.

Two decades on, the man-hours he has put into the studio and decks can be heard at every instance. With over 150 titles under different names, old titles recently have been fetching up to £75 on Discogs. In response he has decided to launch his Silverlining Dubs imprint to make the music accessible to ordinary vinyl buyers. The label has addressed the demand, whilst re-contextualising the sought-after back catalogue with fresh tracks, re-edits, and lesser-known gems. All titles have hit the top 10 genre vinyl charts on Juno, with one number one. After several years of using other names, he has reinvented the Silverlining guise with the benefit of an extra 20 years experience.

All the while, his sophisticated, party-savvy DJ sets have been tickling feet and minds alike in over 40 countries, in hundreds of venues over from warehouses to main stages at festivals, often with repeat bookings that are too numerous to count. Although he has not headlined Ibiza’s super-clubs, he has played some of the world’s most illustrious venues, and remained a regular proponent in some of the world’s finest but lesser-discussed party scenes such as those on the West Coast of USA and Canada, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Brazil and more. Straddling the lines between the contemporary and the old school, his addictive journey sets encapsulate a broad spectrum of moods that can be communicated within the 4/4 and electro format.

Although he continues to create unique blend of house, techno, electro, he insists that it is not ‘Tech House’. Beyond the Silverlining name, his other work spans numerous other genres and influences, with his breadth of taste adjoined by a common groove that can be found in his extensive record collection. The Silverlining sound is unmistakeable yet uncontainable, and it just needs to be heard.

XLR8R+ Radio: Silverlining Live at bloop. London

With more than twenty-five years in the game, Asad Rizvi, better known as Silverlining, has firmly rooted himself as one of the UK’s leading house and techno figureheads.

Having started out as a DJ on a London-based pirate radio station when he was just sixteen years old, Asad’s journey as a producer started around the same time, when he started to create his own brand of Warp Records-inspired electronica – some of which was picked up and played by Colin Dale on his seminal show, Outer Limits. From there, Asad’s musical influences shifted somewhat and the result was a blend the shuffle-heavy US house grooves with the abstract energy of Detroit and deep techno. A style that still rings true in his music to this day.

Since the ’90s, Asad’s music has been released via such labels as Neotropiq, Talman, Furthur Electronix, Reverberations and Terry Francis and Nathan Coles’ legendary Wiggle – not forgetting his own label Silverlining Dubs – the label from which his long-awaited debut album ‘Simulacra’ is due out later this year.

Asad’s mix, below, is a masterful one and a half-hour recording packed with all things house and techno, new and old, mixed to perfection at home using nothing more than a pair of Technics 1210s and a mixer. Be sure to check out the interview over on Off The Record as well. Enjoy!
