Silk Textures 04 | Compiled & Mixed by Da Funk
Various Artists
Release Number: SILKTXC04
Release Date: December 23, 2014

Silk Textures is thrilled to release its third album, "Silk Textures 03," mixed and compiled by Da Funk, the sensational Swiss producer and DJ. Da Funk not only has been an active musician for nearly two decades, but he is also the founder of the acclaimed Acryl Music label.

It is our great honor to announce that Da Funk is now the leading ambassador of our imprint, having recently embraced the role of the "Silk Textures" radio show host.
A long-standing show on Proton Radio, "Silk Textures" recently reached #1 on the San Francisco-based, underground dance music station.

Da Funk's continuous mix includes 16 deep, groovy, and lush cuts: from 16 Bit Lolitas' deep-diving, outer-worldly remix of Beat Factory's "B018" to Paronator's evocative "Mountain Life."

Previous Silk fan favorites on the album include Aleksey Yakovlev's uplifting remix of "Starstruck" by PROFF, as well as meHiLove's soulful and groovy remix of Blood Groove & Kikis and LTN's "Both," which has been supported by Above & Beyond.

Three of the album tracks are previously unreleased. Specifically, Russian newcomer Illumia offers the uptempo "I See U," which centers on a subterranean bassline and hypnotic vocal theme.

NYC-based talent Mazani offers the stunning "Nairobi," a soothing and sensual deep-progressive classic in the making.

Last but not least, Brezza & JP DJ, a phenomenal new duo from Italy, offer the celestially-inspired "Planet," which features evocative, space-themed atmospheres and a chilled, after-hours groove.

This compilation offers Da Funk's fans a glimpse of his acclaimed DJ style: fluid, compositional, and soothing, yet powerfully emotive.

Silk Music cordially invites you to kick back and relax to the sensual and soulful vibes of Da Funk, as well as numerous other core artists on Silk Textures.

As a personal hero of mine, I often look up to the masterful talents of Da Funk,
as his omnipotent knowledge of artists, styles and tracks continue to mesmerize me upon each and every single re-listen of his all inclusive sets.

He is an artist that personally inspires me to continue my work as a musical curator and his immerse productions are always at the top of the charts in terms of sheer elegance and beauty.
He is one of the few remaining artists whose main sonic direction is towards Nu Disco with singles such as Budenzauber, Soul Knights and his newest upcoming single of Mad Satin, but has also been known to innovate in other genres such as Breaks, Deep House and Progressive.

He is fascinated with the 80’s era of music and culture and his sets often include many classics and hidden gems that he effortlessly located throughout his long tenure as an artist. However, his newest remix to an old classic has brought out a newer style within him, and we are totally digging its rich and intricate texture structures.

To revitalize the all time classic of Strawberry Fields by Subsky, Da Funk has issued a ‘Double Dragon‘ dub mix to mix old and new underneath one, complete track.
The mixture of tribal rhythms and deep, yet driving basslines make this the perfect rework to spice up a set or to listen to for those moments of pure, underground bliss.

Four of the album tracks are previously unreleased. Specifically, Brazilian talent Matheus Teston (a.k.a. DAAVAR), a veteran of our Arrival division, offers "Changes," which centers on a smooth and sexy bassline, as well as a provocative vocal theme. First-time British contributor Yuri Shavel offers the more up-tempo "Mysterious Island," the highlight of which is a gorgeous vocal motif and piano-themed breakdown.

Russian artist Stereoteric, who previously appeared on Silk Sofa, offers the imaginative and truly outer-worldly "My Land." Meanwhile, fellow Russian talent Stendahl, who has contributed several standout cuts to parent label Silk Digital recently, serves up the deliciously deep and seductive "Europeland."

As an added bonus, the intro track on Da Funk's continuous mix by the man himself (Da Funk-Mad Satin) is taken from a forthcoming release on his own imprint, Acryl Music.
