Equally so, the duo are renowned for their production skills, with an idiosyncratic take on the house/techno sound that continues to evolve …deep, emotive electronic music.
Their worldwide chart-busting single, Right On, Right On! is now regarded a house classic. It gained them full international recognition in 2001 and catapulted them in to dance music’s A-list and into the conscious of the mainstream. Craig and Graeme however held true to their underground roots, refused to compromise their ideology and stuck a firm two fingers up to the commercial house music scene, even refusing to appear on ‘Top Of The Pops’ (BBC1).
It is this attitude, along with an insatiable appetite for new sounds and ideas that keeps them firmly at the cutting edge of underground electronic music. They have produced three critically acclaimed albums of sublime deep house, techno and electronica all on Soma Records… A Soul Thing (2000), Staring Into Space (2005) and Save Our Souls (2006).
Since the release of Save Our Souls, in late 2006 and in-between constant touring, they have focused attentions on their Darkroom Dubs label. Regarded now by many as one of the UK’s most forward thinking electronic labels, it has become a formidable source of house and techno music. With recent artists including Sei A, Gary Beck,
Jet Project, Afrilounge and Mirror Music.
The guys are now back in the studio working on their fourth album. This is a landmark year for Silicone Soul as it marks their tenth anniversary, so expect some fresh surprises in 2009…
Right On 4 Tha Darkness
Silicone Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I take, I take what's mine
And I ain't so high that I can't fall
And I ain't so low that I can crawl
Life's too short to throw it all away, yeh, ehy
Your love is too high a price to pay, yeh, ehy
When you talk just say you're mine
And I know 'cause I feel that it's true
And I ain't so high that I can't fall
And I ain't so low that I can crawl
Your love is too high a price to pay, yeh, ehy
Down my way
(Right on, keep on)
Believe in me
You can do anything you wanna
Be what you wanna be
Time's too short to throw it all away, yeh, ehy
Your love is too high a price to pay, ooh, uhh
Keep on, right on
Keep on, right on
The lyrics to Silicone Soul's song "Right On 4 Tha Darkness" are a call to action to live life on one's own terms, but not to forget the importance of love and connection in the process. The singer asserts their independence and determination to take what is rightfully theirs, but also recognizes the potential for failure and the necessity of love as a guiding force. The chorus reminds us that life is fleeting and love is invaluable, so we must cherish both and not waste any opportunities.
The first verse speaks to the singer's confidence and self-assuredness, with them stating that they walk their own path and take what they deserve. However, they also acknowledge the possibility of mistakes and failure, as they are not too high to fall or too low to crawl. The second verse focuses on the importance of love, with the singer urging their partner to express their love openly and honestly. The lines "Your love is too high a price to pay" and "Your love light shine" suggest that the singer values love above all else and considers it a priceless gift.
The chorus is a repeated reminder that time is short and love is precious, encouraging the listener to keep pushing forward ("right on") and to believe in themselves ("you can do anything you wanna"). Ultimately, the song is about striking a balance between personal ambition and the need for love and connection, and about making the most of the time we have.

I had this on this vinyl (shown) I was a somewhat active DJ back then too. And I just went thru the same including the tears and lost friendships - relationships. I am almost 40 now and it’s VERY likely my best days are passed. Or at least that’s what I feel now. Cheers!

the echo of this sound ,in a longer version of this same track was following me all the way out from Sa trinxa Chiringuito in Playa de Ses Salines in Ibiza ,1999....for years I had this sound in my head, how could I forget it .....the beach is long enough for more than 3 km ,but the sea and the wind was taking this sound closer to me until I left the beach.....I will never forget it...
I will always Love Ibiza

Big tune back in the late 90's. Remix is a topper too in 2001, also shows how fast the house scene can move
