With a trail of incredibly well-received EPs and singles dating back to 2020, Dehaney Nia Lishahn Hunt (better known as Nia Archives) represents one of the most exciting emergences in British dance music in years. Silence Is Loud is Nia’s long-awaited debut album, a collection of tracks that does so much more than just ‘revive jungle and drum and bass’, as some of the lazier descriptions of her would have it. This is beyond mere rave, a more song-orientated affair than many might expect, touching on elements of Britpop, post-rock and IDM.
