Tha Silent Partner “Silentnovelle (Chillage Special Edition)”

Today marks the release of Silentnovelle (Chillage Special Edition), a deep-cut chapter from Tha Silent Partner that finally steps out of the archive and into the light.

This collection traces back to TSP’s early experimental years, when curiosity outweighed certainty and new directions felt risky but necessary. During that time, connections formed with Mick and Paul Chillage through This Side Music and their XFM show The Chillage Idiots. A handful of these pieces made it onto the airwaves, friendships followed, and what you’re hearing now is the result of that creative overlap.

Most of these compositions lived quietly for years—shared first with trusted ears, sometimes released, often not. Life intervened, confidence wavered, and the path shifted. Some projects were shelved. Others, like this one, waited patiently for the right moment and the right home.

That home, once again, is blocSonic.

With Silentnovelle (Chillage Special Edition), TSP revisits a formative era without revisionist polish or apology. It’s reflective without being nostalgic, personal without explanation, and unapologetically intact. The title nods to masked narratives and quiet realizations—those moments where you recognize the room, the roles, and the people who’ve been there before.

This release also marks a milestone: 60 releases deep at blocSonic. Not many artists can point to a catalog this broad, this restless, and this consistently exploratory.

Today, Silentnovelle (Chillage Special Edition) is officially available. No footnotes. No rewrites. Just a long-overdue chapter, now exactly where it belongs.
