Electronic music pioneers Slam return to their home base of Soma with their brand new album, Reverse Proceed.
After tireless months in the studio, the Glaswegian duo are ready to unleash what is easily their best body of work to date. Not only does this album capture where the two are at musically at the moment but is an extension of their unending fascination with all things Electronic. Lending their 22 years of experience to this new project, Slam have delved into the past for inspiration whilst simultaneously heralding future technologies in the production process. Conceptually, Slam wanted to have the human experience in mind when recording and to base the architecture of the album around ‘the sequence’. This led them to a locally built hardware sequencer called the ‘Sequentix Cirklon’ that became the heart of the album. Allowing them to access older machines and also a modern modular synth setup simultaneously, Stuart & Orde merged live manipulation and recording techniques to full potential to bring a soul to the album.
Reverse Proceed is more than an album; it is a well-defined experience built on the principle of the sequence. Having been meticulously woven together to create a seamless listening environment, Reverse Proceed aims to capture the audience and guide them through the sonic landscape of the album. This method allowed Slam to fully explore the concept of the album
being more than just a collection of tracks but rather a thoroughly immersible piece.
With this concept in mind, the album's opening drifts in over the course of several tracks as the malevolent Tokyo Subway opens what is the ambient first third of the album. Tension is built through sweeping pads and dubbed out synths leading perfectly into the more delicate Visual Capture where a sea of field recorded rain splashes over subtle bell tones and dream-state strings. Title track Reverse Proceed begins with intensity as pulsing sub bass fills the void with yet more time induced percussive fluctuations though synthesis, the haunting pads giving more depth to this deep, evolving track. The hardware at the center of the album takes hold now as Cirklon Bells brings a slight edge of melancholy to proceedings. It's natural hang-drum- esq sounds permeate as various layers are perfectly sequenced, breathing life into the track with each touch.
Heavenly pads bring Synchronicity into existence as we hear the first semblance of a 4/4 make its way out of the depths of the ambience. Stuttered percussion and fast paced, filtered synthetic tones give an almost unnatural rhythm whilst holding momentum firmly. A definite step up begins here as Ghosts Of Detroit stamps that typical Slam sound on the album. This ode to the motor city see an almighty melodic upheaval as tones begin to form complete harmonious coexistence and the album sees the shift onto a more dance floor orientated state of being, complete with blueprint style kick- sub bass conformity.
The ethereal interlude of Relevant Question proves to be little rest bite as Pattern A3 stomps in with flourishing modular based sequential tones and sparse, kicking 909 drums, the albums defining heads down Techno moment. Tweeked out, delayed and cerebral, Factory Music continues on perfectly as yet more off kilter sequences makes heads spin with it's subtle use of FX and crisp percussion. The wail of Convolute keeps things in check as discord swells enough to keep you ready for the solid and hypnotic Catacoustics. Dark and brooding it sets the tone for Irritant with its broken beat and roomy percussion riding spaced out, otherworldly forces. The easily recognisable Rotary helps see the album out with it's elastic synths and driving rhythms showing Slam's credentials as straight up dance floor killers. As we finally wind down from the journey we are brought into great depths with the sublime Resolved. A fitting title to end to what is the climax of this multi-faceted album.
Slam have always brought new meaning to the world of techno and electronic music over the years and have been instrumental in some of its defining moments over their careers. Modern Techno albums come and go but with a clear vision of what they wanted to bring to the table, the dynamic duo of Stuart McMillan & Orde Meikle have once again raised the bar for the world of techno.

Felicie is one of the most promising DJs and producers in the hot Parisian scene, and the three original tracks on @soma Records that form her "Daddy Issues" EP are a testament to that.

From high tempo grooves to industrial, Felicie developed her own style, always focusing on giving listeners and live crowds uncompromising, energetic techno.

Today, we premiere the Cleric remix of the title track from her "Daddy Issues" EP, a rendition that is equally as relentless, pounding and raw as the original tracks on the release.

Daddy Issues EP

@feliciemusic - Dady Issues EP (Soma580d)
1. Daddy Issues
2. Daddy issues ( @Cleric Remix )
3. Camgirlz
4. First Date In The Dark Room

French born artist Felicie joins the Soma ranks with an outstanding debut release with the Daddy Issues EP. With tracks appearing on compilations and VA’s, Felicie’s first full solo outing shows why this upcoming and coming DJ/producer is a force to be reckoned with. One of the new breed of French Techno exports, Felicie’s sound is forged in the harder edges of Techno with elements of Rave and Industrial cut in for good measure. 

Title track Daddy Issues is a straight forward, no nonsense dance floor burner. Short and cutting vocals cuts give an air of defiance as thundering drums drive hard. UK Techno don Cleric’s interpretation of Daddy Issues delivers on more groove and functionality whilst still retaining the hard hitting qualities of the original. Camgirlz keeps up the pressure with EBM & Rave influences prevalent throughout the track's main hook. First Date In The Dark Room is a decisive closer to this EP and leans on slightly more deeper, melodic elements but still has Felicie’s drive and aggressive stance.

Rising Techno star Nørbak makes a welcome return to Soma with his second release the Struggle In Vain EP. The prolific young Portuguese producer has had an incredible year so far in terms of releases and this 2nd release with Soma marks a decided upturn in showcasing his well crafted and defined sound. Adding to the EP’s already heavy sound is Spanish producer Kwartz who delivers an epic remix in his own inimitable style.

Subtly and hypnotism are trademarks of Nørbak’s sound and opener These Hurrying Years is a perfect example of him using both of these to work in tension throughout. Title track Struggle In Vain leans on driving and direct elements that deliver on pure intensity. It Will Not Consume Us works in broken beat rhythms allowing Nørbak to bring a sense of groove whilst more atmospheric elements evolve throughout. The Kwartz remix of It Will Not Consume Us closes out the EP with great depth as layer upon layer unfolds, utilising the original’s atmospheres and melodic tones, creating a whole new entity.

Detroit techno producer and Live act Uun makes his return to @soma with four original tracks packaged as his "This Machine" EP.

With this latest EP Uun continues to showcase his brooding and ominous soundscapes, blending his production and live techno skills to construct an EP that is as dark-seeded as we have come to expect from an artist that is, in our opinion, one of the best Live techno acts and producers in circulation worldwide. 

Uun broke out into the international techno scene in recent years, impressing with dark and haunting releases on his own Ego Death imprint before forays on esteemed labels the likes of Mord, Animal Farm, Modern Cathedrals,  Sleaze Records, Dynamic Reflection and, of course, Soma, where he previously unveiled his "Architects Of Fear" and "Proletarii" EPs

This Machine EP

Premiere: Uun "Mask Off" - Soma Records

@Uun - This Machine EP (Soma582d)

1. False Memory
2. Doombringer
3. Sun Disk
4. Mask Off

Detroit based Techno producer Uun drops his latest Soma release, This Machine EP. This newest EP has the experience producer make it a hat trick of releases with Soma and he continues to develop his raw, unique sound with a devastating 4 track EP

False Memory is the perfect opening track, its broken beat and breaks infused feel is the ideal, slow burning starter whilst retaining his signature deep and dark vibes. As the name might suggest, Doombringer is a 4 to the floor banger. Pulsating atmospheres deliver the intensity as thundering kicks lead the charge. Sun Disk heads back into broken beat territory but leans on a more hypnotic and tripped out feel as Uun once again shows that he can work in groove and subtlety to his productions. Mask Off closes out the EP in more thundering form as jarring drums invade relentlessly as Uun’s epic atmospheres create daunting soundscapes.

Making his debut on @soma with the "Extinction" EP is Berlin based DJ and producer, Non Reversible. 

Slowly but surely making his name within the underground ranks of Techno, Non Reversible has released storming EPs via ARTS, Animal Farm and his own eponymous label. With his debut Soma EP, Non Reversible works his way through 5 modern, industrial tracks.

"Riot" opens the EP and with a title like that, you know what to expect. A furious, percussion driven track, Riot stomps its way forwards with efficiency, breaking only to allow for chants of rebellion to ring through. "Embrace Our Culture" keeps on a similarly formidable tip. Pounding drums lead the charge to a backing of tripped out atmospherics that build and lead throughout the track. Title track "Extinction" delivers on direct assault Techno once again - set to a backdrop of dread with screaming tones that deliver an unnerving melancholy. 

"And Then There Was Silence" closes out this debut with anything else but silence. 

Once again, Non Reversible brings colossal energy via intense percussion, more rigid rhythms and huge, spacial atmospherics.

Non Reversible - Embrace Our Culture [SOMA585D | Premiere]

Slam / @paragraph - Sense Of Purpose EP (Soma584d)

1. Capture
2. False
3. Episode

Soma label heads Slam are back on home turf with another high pressure release, the Sense Of Purpose EP. The pairing of Stuart McMillan & Orde Meikle hit hard once again with 3 expertly crafted tracks that give a nod to the roots of the tougher side of Techno.

Opening track Capture harks to the unrelenting nature of early 2000s Techno. A sturdy blend of hammering percussive elements, backed by rebellious vocals make for a typically high octane track Slam. False maintains the pressure but has a more warped and hypnotic hook that adds even darker overtones. Episode closes out the EP and has a trademarked Slam groove element whilst still remaining rough and ready as added dubbed out atmospherics and pads play to the tracks deeper momentum.

1. Collisions
2. Mystery
3. Picker
4. Parallel Razor

UK based Arnaud Le Texier returns to Soma with yet another hard hitting, warping release entitled Mystery Picker. A regular on the global Techno scene, Arnaud’s productions are densely packed and built with attitude. 

Collisions opens the EP at full pace as modulating synths gather momentum, building in intensity with every step. Mystery steps up next, another energy packed affair that doesn’t pull any punches as its hypnotic elements, paired with hammering percussion deliver a hard, driving track. Picker slows things down momentarily but doesn’t drop out on intensity. Constantly modulating and warped synths dominate this more hypnotic track. Parallel Razor closes out with more aggressive elements taking the forefront. Distorted and dark and packed full of jarring and dynamic rhythms, this is a perfect closing track from one of the UK’s undoubted talents.
