SLAM AT FUSION IN GERMANY
INTRO: SLAM need no introduction.The legendary UK techno duo of Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle have travelled far and wide, touring Australia, the USA , Europe, South America and Japan and they hold residencies at 2 of the UK's best clubs (Pressure in their home town of Glasgow and Fabric in the nation’s Capital, London.)
ON FIRE: 2008/2009 has been one of their busiest periods ever. Performing dynamic sets at many of the world’s leading festivals including Monegros, Oxygen, Bestival, 10 days off, Extrema, Glastonbury and T In The Park, they have also played at some of the world’s best clubs including the legendary Womb In Tokyo, Cocoon in Frankfurt, Rex in Paris and Berlin's infamous Watergate and Berghain to name a few. At the end of 2008 they celebrated 10 years of their own club Pressure, with a Mixmag cover mount CD and a string of hit releases including “Hot Knives”, “Ghost Song” and “City Destroyer”.
PARAGRAPH : Their new label Paragraph sees the pair focus on their own productions entirely. The first release “City Destroyer”, with its sinister pitched vocals and crafty, crisp and skippy electronic soundscapes, secured club plays from the likes of Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer and Laurent Garnier. Paragraph 2, “Hot Knives”, was even bigger staying in the Beatport top 10 for 10 weeks with plays from just about every big name including Carl Craig, Anja Schneider, Dave Clarke and Dubfire. There will be an album with an exiting new concept based around Paragraph later in the year .
REMIXES: This surge in activity has put them in demand as remixers with other big names such as Josh Wink, Paul Ritch and Radio Slave calling on their services. On top off all this they still find the time for new projects like the new Paragraph imprint.
THE FUTURE: Imminent releases include Paragraph 3, featuring Slam tracks “One Note Samba” and “Room 2” which is out in June09, as is their remix of Samuel L Session’s classic track “Can You Relate”. They have completed a EP, along with Rejected’s Joris Voorn & Edwin Oosterwal, for Podium boss Len Faki’s Figure label. SLAM are currently finishing remixes for Josh Wink, Paul Ritch, Steve Lawler and Luciano Esse. This Summer they curate and play at the massive Slam Tent at Scotland’s T in the Park festival (which they have organised since 1997) and they headline the G stage at the Glastonbury festival as well as performing live at Awakenings in Holland and Space in Ibiza. They also host a special Soma Records show case at La Terrrazza in Barcelona during Sonar.
SOMA RECORDS : SLAM are also the proud owners of Soma Records, which, in its 18th year, continues to be one of the world’s finest purveyors of cutting edge electronic music, with recent releases and remixes from Silicone Soul, the Black Dog, Mihalis Safras, Mark Broom, Joris Voorn, Prompt, Samuel L Session, Christian Prommer, Radio Slave, Paul Ritch, D'Julz, Adam Beyer, Steve Rachmad, Itamar Sagi, Steve Rachmad and Funk D Void.
