the kid is back with SILVER ISLAND, an ambitious record that effortlessly manages to straddle the divide between the club and the house and confirms Surkin’s mastery of dancefloor excitement (“Fan Out”), showcases a new take on swagger-heavy piano house (“Easy Action”) and unveils a new melodic direction (“Silver Island”). Surkin is currently working on his first album, scheduled for Fall 2010. Detroit and Chicago house luminaries Ann Saunderson and Kevin Irving are confirmed guests.
