Booty Slave (aka Julian Liberator) and D.A.V.E. The Drummer get together for the first time in about 10 years.
Many will remember their output on Julian's iconic 4X4 label throughout the later 90's to mid 2000's.

Two big tunes here, with two very different flavours:
 
The Beast is a snare drum fuelled bass heavy pummelling techno groove, with glitches, FX and wild synth parts.

DEFCON 101 is an analogue synth workout with a single nagging synth line that grows and builds throughout the track leading to an epic drop.

The Beast

Early support on the release has come from established techno figures such as Marcel Dettmann, Pär Grindvik, Lewis Fautzi, Sigha, Svreca, Dax J, Exium, Rødhåd and Paula Temple.

Slam vs. Obscure Shape ( @utobscure0010 ) & SHDW ( @shdw-music ) - Oblique Strategies ( @Soma 576)

1. Strategy 1
2. Strategy 2
3. Strategy 3

Soma present a special collaboration between label heads Slam and another of Techno’s top tier duos, Obscure Shape & SHDW. With both of these acts currently at peak form, Oblique Strategies is the culmination of a shared vision where both styles of production shine through on every track. Starting as a singular idea, shared between the pairings, each then took their turn to put their own stamp on the tracks. The results are plain to see as Strategy 1, 2 & 3 express the very best of what these renowned duos bring to Techno.
