Due to its black color, the raven was often a harbinger of death in Western culture, brought to you in conjunction with dark deeds. But according to Native American medicine teachings, light comes out of darkness and the color black is associated with the source of all energy, creating new realities - with the raven as its messenger. He proclaims the need to make drastic changes in your attitude and perception.

During the past decade, electronic music has constantly pushed and sometimes crushed the borders of its genre. Silky Raven, namely Jakob Seidensticker and Henrik Raabe, have dedicated their work to this process with projects like The Havana Boys, Seidensticker/Salour and Wareika. Now, after 20 years of joint forces for music, their new project "Silky Raven" can refer to a compository-improvisatory diversification of a remarkably varied oeuvre.

The musical outcome might at first seem gloomy, but as the raven shows us, entering the dark can bring the light. With each musical inward journey, we develop the ability to create more light, and therefore the Silky Raven encourages us to be prepared for the unexpected.

As its first release, Silky Raven delivers the mysterious and hypnotic "Caterpillars & Birds", which has already been featured on our winter compilation "Livingroom Techno 3". With its imperative groove and strong musical orientation, the track is a guarantor for the early hours. On the remix duties we first have October, who delivers an homage to the LFO-influenced sound of the 90ies, raw and pure. And second we have a remix by Visionquest's Shaun Reeves and Jay Haze, who join forces to create a Dub-techno-influenced pearl, perfectly rounding up the package.
