Born and raised in Hammersmith, West London, British DJ and Producer Solomon Rose, better known as Silkie, stands out as a luminary in the global bass music scene. A pioneer of dubstep, he has been instrumental in shaping and expanding the genre since his emergence in the early 2000s. Renowned for his distinctive blend of soulful melodies and powerful basslines infused with elements of jazz, Silkie has garnered acclaim both in the UK and internationally. Silkie has recently re-launched dubstep label Antisocial Records (previously Antisocial Entertainment), a cornerstone of the scene for nearly two decades, with releases and a monthly Rinse FM show that put bass and harmony at the centre. In the last few years, Silkie has delved into his early inspirations, embarking on a nostalgic exploration of soulful UK Garage with his new label, Bedroom Rat Records. With support from respected people and press in the industry such as Mary Anne Hobbs, Resident Advisor and DJ Mag, and a new monthly radio show on SWU, Silkie’s unique imprint is carving its own niche in the ever-growing garage landscape.
