Illusion Sound presents Silent Steps Night with Kyle Geiger

  • Silent Steps Records are coming down again with a very special night and a very special line-up which artist are more to be announced. Silent Steps Records is a vinyl label born from a deep love for Techno | Minimal genre with the wish to spread quality music, always printed in a solid underground mind , and the strong will to build an own universe as well with the musical part, a dark and energic sound for peak-hour time, as for the visuals and design part. Such artist like PERC, AUDIO INJECTION, DRUMCELL, RAIZ, YAN COOK, DAEGON ,LUIS FORES, MORGAN TOMAS...are part of the label already. /// KYLE GEIGER /// Hailing from a region known for its basketball and corn, the emergence of an artist from Indiana such as Kyle Geiger is marked as seldom at best. He certainly is no stranger to the international techno arena, with releases on heavy hitter labels such as Drumcode, Soma, Perc Trax, and Droid. Refusing to rest on his laurels, Kyle continues to push the boundaries of his sound through the creation of his own label known as Cubera. Being his brainchild, Kyle has been able to push new musical concepts free of any outside limitations with the end objective being to create a more moody and memorable collection of productions. Kyle is not a producer first, DJ second, but chooses to look at both aspects of DJ and production as a whole; one is not complete without the other. Originally inspired by the harder, percussive stylings the techno sound featured on seminal labels from the late 90's, Kyle has witnessed the evolution of the genre as it morphed into a more accessible, groove based sound. Still loving the energy and power of the more straight forward side of techno while embracing the genre's changes, Kyle has refined his productions and DJ sets into what very well may be a new breed of soundscapes that pushes things forward for the next generation of techno to come. /// OCTAVE /// Octave is an emerging techno artists in France - no real wonder since he grew up within a musical atmosphere and had his first experience with turntables in 2003 and thereafter concentrated more and more on a minimal approach to techno, which he started to produce by himself in early 2007. After his first few steps into the techno field with some releases in 2007-2008, he was chosen by none other than Richie Hawtin to take part of the "Sounds From Can Elles" project, and saw one of his track released on M_nus by the end of 2008. In early 2009 he started to develop his own Live and has had the chance to play in some clubs in Europe - including Tresor - with fantastic reactions to his sets on the floors and with fans. These days Octave continues to develop and is constantly evolving. His music combines a deep-rooted foundation of techno underlined by stirring basslines and rhythms,glitch moments, and hypnotic background atmospheres. /// HOWSKI (London Debut) /// Howski is a young upcoming producer, born in the west of France in the 90's. He discovered electronic music when he moved to Paris, especially at REX Club, and immediately had a strong interest in it. Then, he decided to start a project named Octogone with three other friends, sharing the same taste for dark minimal beats and atmospheres. A few releases later, including on Wall Music and Lethal Dose Recordings, he felt his taste evolving more and more to a raw/dub Techno sound so he started producing solo under a new alias, Howski, and finally decided to take his own way and focuse on this new project. Working hard, his skills has naturally improved and a very own style came out from this. Inspired by artists such as Truncate, Speedy J, Drumcell or even Lucy, Howski mixes broken or even straight beats with deep atmospheres and groovy percs. Now ready, Howski will release his debut EP on Silent Steps, in December 2012. And always with this strong will to enlarge his knowledge in music and sound, he just integrated a sound engineer school. /// ASH VERSCHUUR /// Best known for his residency for Parliament Of House at Turnmills, UK (voted 4th best club in the world by Mixmag two years in a row) and now resident DJ of AL CODA (one of Central America’s most acclaimed after hour warehouse parties), Ash has played alongside some of his favourite internationals such as Ariel, Mr C, Dave Clarke, Tim Sheridan as well as many household favourites including Faithless, Carl Cox, and Stanton Warriors to name a few. Showing as much passion for working behind the scenes as he does behind the decks, this has seen his music career take him through Europe, and as far afield as Asia, Australia, and South & Central America.
