For Silva Bumpa. Rounding up his unstoppable success with in the scene with Silva Bumpa's debut Boiler Room debut premiered on the Feb 28th watch here. Harry Eagle grew up in Sheffield, a city ingrained with the pumping sounds of organ house and bassline. He learned the piano as an early teen, and Aphex Twin, Arca and Mura Masa would be his entry point into electronic music. At 16, he was going to raves in the Peak District. Friends started showing him “old school bassline, free party jacking house, speed garage, more like the Birmingham Ecko Records stuff”. It flipped a switch in his brain: “It gave me the kind of same intensity of the instrumental electronic stuff, but you could write a song over it – have weird square wave stuff but it still be a banging tune, a really cool R&B-influenced melody.” Now, among a growing scene, Silva Bumpa is supported by peers including Interplanetary Criminal, Main Phase and Soul Mass Transit System, as well as bonafide bassline OGs such as Tom Shorterz, Big Ang and Joe Hunt, who are happy to share stages and b2bs with the relative newcomers. That community is “everything,” he says. “One of the best things about underground dance music is having your crew and working together to build up a scene.” That underground success has been steadily spilling over into the mainstream, thanks to Radio 1 plays and Spotify support. Silva Bumpa's 2024 releases included a 4 track EP with legendary label Locked On Records, a release with Diffrnt on Room 2 (Columbia), and single releases with fellow UKG headsie labels EC2A + ATW. Supported by peers including Interplanetary Criminal, Main Phase, for Silva Bumpa the community in the scene is “One of the best things about underground dance music is having your crew and working together to build up a scene.” That underground success has been steadily spilling over into the mainstream, thanks to continuous Radio 1 and DSPS After a jam-packed summer playing festivals around the world UKG DJ, songwriter and producer Silva Bumpa is ready to bring it back to the clubs. Taking immense inspiration from the sounds of Northern nightlife – particularly Sheffield’s legendary Niche nightclub – Silva Bumpa combines his producing know-how and pop sensibilities to the heady worlds of Organ House and UK Garage with a brand new 4-track EP. With this release comes the title track-new single ‘Check Dis Out’. Silva Bumpa explains “this Ep is a combo of a few sounds I’ve been experimenting with over the last year or so. Still vocal heavy but with more techy elements and big ravey buildups. It’s deffo a club record and probably the release I’ve been most excited to put out !” With an increasingly busy gig calendar, Silva Bumpa’s also got his eye on an album which is set to showcase more of his love of writing huge, club-indebted tunes. “I'm sitting on my best work, I think,” he grins.
