Silicon Records was created in 2001 by Nuno Pereira aka Nonnus. It was initially created to become a pioneer in online electronic music distribution, allowing the public to choose the tracks they wanted to buy and download directly to their computers. A concept too early for the time that never really took off… In 2002 Nonnus decided to keep the commercial side of the record label in standby and invested the following years focusing on some more technical aspects of the label music: production techniques, audio technologies, musical and groove quantics, spectral engineering, time manipulation, etc. In this process was developed a very specific musical language and defined a very own style instead of following established genres or tendencies. In 2007, Silicon Records released Nonnus debut album, 3G - Audio Upgrade, on iTunes. Since then, the label has been the sound lab for its artists whose work is focused on constantly discover and deliver to the global public a new kind of sound and feeling from electronic music. Now in 2011, Silicon Records is resuming its public activity with a steady flow of monthly releases featuring a whole new generation of artist and fresh music.
