dug up Decks to Tape mix from 1996 which I remember  thinking was a mess... it was tricky to say the least. So I wrote it off.. 15  years later, I find it and listen again and I'm surprised at its rockingness.. it swells my proud bits:) Some mixes totally rock.. ok others not. But (as always:) supreme choice of tracks.. the mix gradually builds.. just wait for part II !

Slam - Dark Channel [SOMADA128]

Limited Dark Channel vinyls available on the Soma Shop - purchase direct from the Soma Shop and we will give you the full digital download version of the album for free

As electronic music pioneers and co-founders of Soma Records, Slam have continually shaped the landscape of underground techno. With their forthcoming album, Dark Channel, they present a raw, club-focused record that stands as both a reflection of our turbulent times and a celebration of the dance floor’s enduring power.

In 2025, the world feels fractured, dominated by division and extremism. Amidst this chaos, the dance floor remains a rare sanctuary—one of unity, self-expression, and collective escape. Dark Channel is an unapologetic tribute to this sacred space, where rhythm dissolves barriers and music serves as a universal language. Through relentless energy, deep textures, and hypnotic grooves, the album embodies the essence of club culture: a place where we reconnect with ourselves and each other.

Slam make no mistake when it comes to the sonic tone of the album as it opens with the tribalistic 'Use It, Lose It' before the discordant sounds of title track 'Dark Channel' hints at the relentless nature of things to come. The intensity continues with 'Parametric Factor' & 'Glide' - both pushing a pulsating, synth driven trip; the later leading on a more traditional Slam percussive workout. The dance floor warping 'Morganatic' pursues dark territory while 'Infinit Spaces' adds trippy FX to an already animated synth hook. The beautifully crafted 'Kuture Version' delves into a more immersive sound as more direct, chord driven elements take the lead. The pace quickens yet again with 'Ghost Dancer' highlighting sub tones whilst still crafting ominous intonations with its modulating FX. Approaching the conclusion, the ferocious 'Beat On The Drum' delivers a lesson in rhythm and energy before the contorted 'Irregular Object' completes proceedings in a suitably hypnotic fashion.

If you’ve been to Phonica in the past 15+ years, you likely know Nick Williams—an integral figure behind the counter, sharing his deep and eclectic musical taste with everyone from global DJs to underground newcomers. As founder of Meda Fury Records, he’s championed soulful, leftfield sounds, discovering artists like DJ Seinfeld along the way. A seasoned DJ himself, Nick has played iconic clubs like Fabric and Corsica, known for genre-defying sets that span ambient, house, techno, post-punk, jungle, and beyond. His latest mix reflects this wide scope—layered, emotional, and full of unexpected gems.

Richie Hawtin: DE9 | Closer To The Edit (2001) MINUS8CD

Last summer, i was asked to play a “beatless” set at Stella Polaris in Copenhagen. I didn’t even believe the mandate. The instructions were clear, if bizarre,… NO dancing. 
After the tyranny/fun of 25 years of making people dance, i felt an incredible freedom and joy in this most basic of requests….. and ended up having a truly magical time, in the sunshine, outdoors in a park in Copenhagen with 25000 people sitting on that grass (including Daniel Miller). There were a handful of records that i had never played before, but always wanted to….. one of my favorites from The KLF “Chill Out” album, a seminal This Mortal Coil song from the early 90s rave days, and a Kate Bush song that is a personal anthem. many of these being my all-time favourites songs.. When i closed with “Under The Ivy” i actually had a tear in my eye (a first) …just to feel the power of music, and the rush or joy and relief and, yes, LOVE for these songs that have chronicled  my entire life. 

and of course i found it IMPOSSIBLE to not throw a few dance beats in there……i am hopeless. beyond salvation.
