Silence Groove

Silence Groove is the stage name of Polish producer Jakub Cichocki. He works across drum & bass and related bass music styles, including liquid funk, liquid rollers, drumstep, chillstep, bassline, UK garage, jungle and footwork-influenced material. He is based in Poland.

His recorded career began around 2011 with the Love You Lose EP, a collaboration with Skeletone released on Soul Deep Recordings. Since then Silence Groove has released music on labels including Fokuz, Integral and Hospital. He launched his own imprint, Urban Movements Music, and issued his debut album All You Need on October 4, 2024.

Credits on the artist’s Bandcamp and SoundCloud list “All music Written & Produced by Jakub Cichocki.” Press and platform descriptions consistently characterise his output as atmospheric, liquid rollers within the drum & bass spectrum.

Silence Groove’s production style centers on spacious, pad-driven atmospheres and forward-moving drum programming. His tracks favour rolling, syncopated break patterns and measured low-end design rather than maximalist drum chopping. Basslines sit warm and rounded, with sub-frequency weight paired to midrange movement that carries melodic content. He layers reverb and delay on chord stabs and ambient beds to create a sense of depth, then locks drums and bass with tight compression and transient shaping to preserve punch on systems.

Within subgenres, his work leans into liquid characteristics—melodic chords, vocal-like lead lines and smooth transitions—while incorporating bassline and UK garage elements in rhythm and pulse on several releases. On slower-tempo pieces and chillstep-leaning tracks he uses sparse arrangements, long-decay pads and subtle sidechain to open space. Drumstep and footwork influences appear in occasional tempo shifts and syncopated percussive patterns rather than full stylistic departures.

Key career markers remain the 2011 Love You Lose EP with Skeletone (Soul Deep Recordings); subsequent releases on Fokuz, Integral and Hospital; and the launch of Urban Movements Music, which issued All You Need on 4 October 2024. Public credits attribute composition and production on that album solely to Jakub Cichocki.

Public biographical detail beyond releases and label appearances is limited; the verifiable record for Silence Groove centers on those releases, his 2024 debut album on Urban Movements Music, and the production crediting on Bandcamp and SoundCloud.
