SONIC and SILVER

SONIC and SILVER have recorded music for some of the biggest labels in the Drum & Bass scene, such as Metalheadz, Virus Recordings, Timeless, Renegade Hardware, V Records, Digital Soundboy, Infrared, Reinforced, Soul:r, React, T.O.V., Space Recordings, Bad Company, L Plates, Science Fiction, Industry, Chronic, Dsci4 and many more.

2007 is a year that is set to truly show people the extent of musical quality that SONIC and SILVER possess and below is the reason why...

SONIC and SILVER - 2007 Bookings now being taken!!!

Tour 1
Space Recordings presents "The Return of Sonic and Silver"

Also known as ‘The Accidental Heroes’, the duo was formed in early 1999 in South Manchester, England. Sonic and Silver have been everywhere – in terms of labels, and geographically speaking. From Virus to Timeless they’ve created music that defies categorisation. However, they are perhaps most famous for two styles in particular – the house-influenced sound which they helped develop with J Majik in 2001, and their many dub-influenced tunes they released on labels such as Reinforced and Metalheadz.

With seminal tracks such as Sonic’s anthem ‘Even When It Rains’ on Infrared, 'Rocket Launcher' on Virus and 'Under the Sun' on Soul:R, Sonic and Silver are once again back, in a big way! With Sonic coming to Los Angeles, where Silver is now based, a new project has begun. The two Mancunian lads are coming back with a statement bolder than ever before: ‘The Return of Sonic & Silver’ LP/EP series on Space Recordings. They will once again tour the world together, bringing on the sounds that only they know how.

The first EP in the series is already setting the scene alight with Silver’s massive ‘Tronik House’ and Sonic’s equally murderous ‘House Is a Way of Life’. That house-influenced sound that Sonic & Silver are famous for is taken to all new levels of impact. This EP has been receiving support on BBC Radio 1 from Grooverider and Fabio, on 1Xtra by Baliey, L Double and Flight and by DJs across the world.

If they are coming back to do more tracks like "On The Anson" / "Into The Light" or stuff like they did on their Reinforced EP then it will be a welcome return !

Cool

Yes
their Headz 12 is ruuuuuuuuuff Cool
"the harder they come" on LIcon_razzlates is a rough tune as well...

haven't really liked anything they did since they turned absolutely gash around 2002 when everyone threw their taste out the window to make disco dnb...

what a great idea THAT was...

i'm not a virus fanboy, i don't even own any virus records [apart from wormhole which i found in a charity shop] but christ almighty "rocket launcher" was a shitty brown stain on their copybook..
...it's like a bloody LIBRARY out there!!! http://twitter.com/executivesteve

crikey virus have some gems in their back cat....pure gems
"Stars of our desination", "Precinct 13" the sniper remix where pretty tuff.

the headz release was the OK and the reinforced was slack IMO.

Digital Soundboy? which release was that then?

I quite enjoy "The Harder They Come" great 12".

Can't say I much care for their Metalheadz outing.

Also really like the first two 12s on Science Fiction. Class stuff there.
"the harder they come" is an all-time fave. "innacorner" on the metalheadz LP is also nice.

don't think I'll be picking up any of this new stuff though ... Neutral
these guys were responsible for some AMAZING tunes when they were together


Even When It Rains (Original Mix)
Innacorner
The Stars Our Destination LP
Rise Up EP
The Headz 12"
UNDER THE SUN
Generation Dub EP
Harder They Come / Prelude
Gyro / Science


And I'm sure I'm leaving some out...I remember the first two records on Science Fiction being good, but I never got them so I don't really remember...
