THROWING SHADE FEAR OF SILENCE

Being long term fans of her ethnomusicology show on East London radio station NTS, we're happy to report that the hugely cultured producer Throwing Shade is releasing her second EP House of Silk on 4th March via Ninja Tune. An expert on world music, she has collected sounds from around the globe and pushed them through a London lens with lead single 'Fear of Silence'. A resonating blend of tapping high hats, hypnotic sequences and spiralling samples, her work is both considered and informed. Breaking sonic boundaries and exploring how contrasting elements can combine, she's at the forefront of bringing together urban and traditional musical forms. If you like what you hear, you can catch her EP launch party on 10th March at a secret location in Dalston. - SJ
