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.

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.

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.
