Talking Shopcast with 100% Silk

With 100% Silk standing as one of 2011’s major developments, LWE called label owner Amanda Brown to discuss the label’s origins, its aesthetics, and its future. LWE also commissioned Magic Touch to represent the label with a mix, and his selection is an energetic exploration of classic sounds, with some original edits and new material to boot.
Ital, Only For Tonight
