A collaborative project spearheaded by Ableton Live Certified Trainer & beat wizard Isaac Cotec, aka 'Subaqueous', Silk Drop fuses delectable beats with vulnerable female vocals and live strings. The result is a genre-bending sound steeped in an undeniable viscerality. Cotec has released 9 records in the last 5 years on electronic labels such as Merkaba Music, Critical Beats, and Street Ritual. Vocalist Heather Christie has recently been put on the national stage with American Idol's final season, and her single 'Tincture' is soon to be released and remixed through top indie-electronic online label, Artist Intelligence Agency. 
The Silk Drop sound can be likened to Polica, Galimatius and Glass Animals.

What is Silk? 
We are a brand, whose sole focus is to give our fans the true underground experience. 
​
What is an underground experience?
It's going to a club and just letting go. Avoiding the trappings of the social norms and mainstream sounds. Creating a intimate space where you can really feel the bass hit your chest and make you move your feet. It's a place of no judgement. A night where you can just forget who you are and feel the deep vibrations pulse through your body sending you in to a state of euphoria.
​
How will you achieve this?
Hosting events that are bespoke and tailored to individual needs, therefore  you never have the same experience twice.
 
By giving up and coming artists a music platform for them to share their music. We go through a vigorous scouting progress to specifically select each and every DJ that features on our weekly episodes, the Feel Of Silk. 
​
We also sell our clothing and accessories in our online shop. So that where ever you are, you'll be a part of the Silk family.

Why did you start Silk?
The idea came to me when I was out in central London en route to arguably one of the most famous night clubs in the world. Fabric nightclub in Farringdon. Known for its legendary DJ Sets. But the only downfall was when I got back home I'd realised I had spent a fortune. So this got me thinking, what if i could offer the same underground experience without having to spend top club money.
​
Where do you want Silk to go?
Our aim is to make Silk the biggest music platform for up and coming artists who's focus is the underground sound, as well as putting on events all over the world in places such as  Amsterdam, Marbella, Berlin, New York and Bangkok. Bringing people the true sounds of the underground whilst be able to provide an experience like no other.

What’s this year’s hot summer jam in Almaty, Kazakhstan?

What does the central bazaar in Tashkent, Uzbekistan sound like?

What can you hear on the Mongolian steppe when there’s no ger for 10 miles?﻿

The Silk Road in Stereo is an audio exploration of Europe, Central Asia, and Mongolia, presented here as a series of selected audio pieces.

This series of sounds is being collected during the 2011 Mongol Rally. Rather than just drive 10,000 km and call it a day, we’ve decided to dedicate our trip along the ancient Silk Road to collecting the sounds of this diverse landscape and bringing them back home to share. As we travel across the massive Eurasian landmass, with it’s incredible cultures, histories and peoples, we plan to capture as much of the soundscape as possible – from seeking out local pop music on CD-R and capturing off-air radio, to making field recordings of performances, bazaars, and daily life. The result will be a series of carefully curated audio works, including CD and downloadable music compilations, podcasts, and soundscapes, all of which will be presented here. New items will be added to the site for at least a year following the trip, which begins July 23, 2011.

Tune in!

Silk is a highly celebrated, R&B quintet who has sold over 5 million records. The group still comprises the original members who debuted in 1992. These gentlemen are Timzo (Timothy Cameron), Jim (Jimmy Gates, Jr.), Big G (Gary Glenn), Lil G (Gary Jenkins) and John John (Johnathen Rasboro). Popular for baby-making ballads and New Jack Swing favorites, Silk is best known for their 1993 pop hit, “Freak Me.” Other hits include “If You”, “Meeting In My Bedroom”, “Girl U For Me”, “Lose Control”, “Hooked On You” and “Don’t Rush”. The group was discovered by Keith Sweat over 20 years ago yet they continue to enjoy longevity in the industry with six studio albums. Currently, Silk is delicately placing the finishing touches on their seventh studio LP while touring the world.

The group began its embryonic stage in the mid 80′s. Timzo, Jim and John John formed the singing group as the teenagers harmonized while working at McDonald’s. Shortly thereafter, Big G was joined. A then-gospel group, the four would get their big break singing church songs in their manager’s basement during a cookout. Already empowered with unique diamond-smooth harmonies, Silk went in search of a fifth voice and Gary “Lil G” Jenkins was joined to the group. Keith Sweat signed the group to his Keia label and helped to create Silk’s unmistakable sound.

Sweat co-wrote and produced most of the steamy, sexually suggestive songs for their debut album, Lose Control. Selling two million copies, the album spun three US R&B Top 10 hits, including ‘Freak Me’, which stayed at #1 on the chart for eight weeks and the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks. Silk would go on to release their second album with an eponymous title giving us “I Can Go Deep”, “Hooked On You” and “Don’t Rush”. Silk served as the Executive Producer of this Top 10 R&B album and remained in this position of creative control on their subsequent works. The SILK LP was followed by the group’s third studio album, Tonight. At the helm of songwriting and music production, Silk enlisted contributions from the likes of Darrell “Delite” Allamby, Lincoln “Link” Browder and Antonio “Jovii Hendrix” Mobley. The Tonight LP would quickly attain platinum status with the release of the provocative “If You” ballad – the group’s second Billboard Hot 100 hit. With the steamy and intense “Meeting In My Bedroom” to follow, Silk’s third album would solidify the group as influential vocalists in the industry. The subsequent albums, Love Session, Silktime and Always and Forever gave the world “We’re Callin’ You”, “Ebony Eyes”, “Don’t Go” ft. Tamar Braxton and “There’ll Never Be”.

Silk is comprised of very entrepreneurial and philanthropic gentlemen. The five have always engaged in business and charitable endeavors. Unbeknownst to many, Silk are honorary members of the Men of Distinction having received a mayoral proclamation in Atlanta for their selfless service to community efforts. Aside from their feel-good music and baby-making hits, Silk is known for being one of the few singing groups who are, in fact, still together with all original members. Silk’s seventh studio album is currently untitled. No doubt it will be a hallmark for music lovers around the world. Fans are eager to hear what’s next from the five most signature voices in all of R&B.

"His music is like 'oriental hybrid music', made with moderate essences of analogue and digital. Mild but odd, sensuous but logical in the same time. Sometimes bring you in a magnificent landscape of great nature, sometimes show you transient street scenes of a road movie." (Nobuyuki Hayashi - Backyard Zine)
