Magnetude - Silhouette (ft. The Velvet Effect)

Release Date: December 5th, 2025

Label: Evolution Chamber

2025 has proven to be one of the most consistent and defining years yet for Anglo-Russian duo Magnetude. With a series of standout releases under their belt, the pair continue to build on their reputation for emotionally charged, story-driven Neurofunk. Their latest single, ‘Silhouette’, sees them team up with The Velvet Effect to deliver one of their most powerful and sought-after tracks and a breathtaking journey through emotion, intensity, and tension.

‘Silhouette’ opens with a hauntingly beautiful piano arrangement, layered with melancholic undertones that immediately set a dark, cinematic atmosphere. As The Velvet Effect’s ethereal vocals emerge, the tone deepens; delicate yet filled with emotional weight, pulling the listener into a shadowy world of introspection. The track then builds toward a dramatic crescendo, powerful and full of tension, before collapsing into a moment of stillness.

The calm is brief but purposeful. Subtle fragments of The Velvet Effect’s voice linger in the breakdown, carrying an air of unease that perfectly mirrors the theme of desperation and escape. From here, Magnetude unleash a commanding first drop, sharp, unpredictable, and emotionally charged, tossing the listener through waves of controlled chaos. Every 16-bar section builds greater intensity, crafting a sense of mounting urgency as the narrative unfolds.

The breakdown that follows is nothing short of cinematic. Magnetude elevate The Velvet Effect’s haunting vocals to epic proportions, adding layers of depth and emotion that amplify the track’s atmosphere. It’s the moment where the story reaches its emotional peak, fragile yet monumental.

Then, in true Magnetude fashion, the second drop hits with devastating precision. Heavy, unrelenting, and perfectly engineered for maximum impact, it’s a reminder of why the duo have earned their reputation for delivering tracks that balance energy with emotion. It’s dramatic, unapologetic, and engineered to leave a mark, a hallmark of Magnetude’s sound.

‘Silhouette’ stands as another milestone in Magnetude’s journey with Evolution Chamber, and defines the duo’s unique ability to blend story-driven emotion with technical mastery. With The Velvet Effect’s vocals adding a deeply human touch, this release reinforces Magnetude’s reputation as one of Drum & Bass’s most distinctive and dynamic acts.
