Slyde

Slyde have been gracing the

breaks scene with their unique style of layered beats since 2002.

Their last four singles

released under Finger Lickin’ have sold over 15,000 records. Stemming from a

wealth of influences spanning hip hop, rave, funk, big beat and electrifyingly

bouncy break beats, Slyde presents a whole new mashed up, multi-level sound with

their first album.

12Tree initially engineered

Laidback’s Frequency Delinquency, with the latter’s belief that “rave is early

break beat speeded up” running through its veins. The pair’s infatuation with

funky, phat and well-produced breaks ensured they gelled perfectly and the album

saw spectacular success winning Amazon’s Electronic Album of the Year in 2002.



Following various

accomplishments with the breaks arm of Bolshi, e.g. the track Flow, which

appeared on Sancho Panza’s Carnival compilation Float, the duo were reborn as

Slyde. Under the new name and with a new home at Finger Lickin’, Slyde has seen

incredible singles success with the outrageously funky Slippedy Slide and

addictively infectious Krunk.

Every Slyde single has

reached the top five of DJ Magazine’s Beats Chart, receiving extensive radio

play on renowned stations such as X FM and Radio 1. The duo has performed

internationally since its inception. After a chance introduction to Keith Flint

of The Prodigy, who immediately recognized their talent, the trio collaborated

on Clever Brains Fryin’

Today Slyde’s discerning

conception of break beats has resulted in an album that both reflects their core

influences and origins and strikes with a sophisticated depth of sound, crossing

breaks with melodic tunes and commercial awareness.

Featuring a range of

vocalists because “we don’t just want make breaks tunes that are easy to mix in

a club, we want people to feel the lyrics, hear the songs”,

Slyde are about to introduce

the world to the vocal allure of both underground and well-known artists. These

include Katty, Bent; Lady Posh, hip hop vocalist/MC; Charlie, The Method; MC Sir

Real, Freestylers; GI Joe, top UK battle MC; and Heather, long-established US

MC. Couple these diverse vocalists and lyrics with a randomness of beats,

experimental layers of sounds and this is an album that truly cuts the

edge
