silkweb weaves together sets designed to make you sweat. They find sonic inspiration from their time in NYC, London, and Berlin. Collecting an archive of electronic music CDs from 1991-2004, they meld together classic sounds with fresh tracks.

PlayPlay combines their penchant for percussion and bass with nostalgic samples & dreamy synths in both their DJ sets & music production. Their sound is inspired by years of clubbing, crate digging and the sounds they grew up dancing to - jungle, breakbeats, industrial, classic house, techno, new wave, post punk and old school hip-hop. They currently host two parties in NYC: Breaking Capacity, a quarterly party dedicated to all things breaks, and Satisfaction of What’s to Come, a quarterly party celebrating the many iterations of house music.
