Silver Skylarks

Silver Skylarks is a musical project born out of a collaboration between songwriter/musician Danny Balis and producer Jeff "Skin" Wade. The duo's debut album, *The Number One Set and Sound*, is a vibrant blend of '70s American R&B, West African funk, afrobeat, dub, jazz, and Latin soul. This project emerged from demos Balis created during the pandemic, which Wade helped shape into a distinct sound that resonates with fans of groove-oriented music. The album features a talented lineup of musicians, including Lunar RAE on drums, Jordache Grant on keys, and guest appearances by notable artists like Large Professor and Adrian Quesada. Silver Skylarks' music is designed to evoke the spirit of crate-digging and sample-based genres, making it a treat for collectors and fans of hip-hop and breakbeat culture.

Their recent releases, such as *Power Moves*, showcase their ability to craft infectious, dancefloor-friendly tracks that blend seamlessly with their broader musical vision. The project also marks a new chapter for Wade and Balis, who were previously involved with the soul group Bastards of Soul. The rebranding of their label to Skylark Soul Co. reflects their evolving musical direction and commitment to creating music that is both nostalgic and contemporary.
