Sileni
Unaffected by drum & bass fascists, Sileni sets his own musical boundaries. Dirty, funk-laden tunes injected with gritty electronic noise and raw drums laced with chilling ambience reveal Sileni favors not just Jonny L, Optical and Photek, but also Speedy J, Wes Montgomery and Yngwie Malmsteen.

Unearthed by Thermal in 2002, this elusive drum & bass producer lurks around gatherings in Boston cloaked in his cool IZOD jacket.
