• Silva Bumpa is the stage name of Harry Eagle, a DJ and producer who grew up in Sheffield, England.
• Born into a musical family - his grandfather was a pianist - Bumpa learned piano as a teenager before discovering speed garage and bassline through friends who took him to free parties in the Peak District. "It gave me the kind of same intensity of the instrumental electronic stuff, but you could write a song over it," he said. "Have weird square wave stuff but it still be a banging tune, a really cool R&B-influenced melody."
• "On 2nite" was released as a single on May 29, 2026. It entered the UK Singles Chart a week later, giving Silva Bumpa his first chart hit.
• "On 2nite" arrived at a moment of genuine upward momentum for Silva Bumpa. His 2024 debut EP What About the DJ? on the legendary Locked On Records imprint established him in the UKG underground. His 2025 MC DT collaboration "Doin' It" became his first track to pass five million streams, and a celebrated Boiler Room set in Sheffield in late 2025 followed, cementing his profile.
