Slam - Desolate Spaces EP ( @Soma 578d)

1. Desolate Spaces
2. The Purge 
3. Infiltration
4. The Rush

Label heads Slam return to Soma Records with the Desolate Spaces EP. Despite current circumstances, the Glaswegian duo demonstrate true techno mastery with their expertly produced latest EP. All 4 tracks clearly show the pair’s dynamic and inventive creative streak continues amid the current lockdown situation. 
 
Title track ‘Desolate Spaces’ leads the way with a huge rave-infected synth and an intense and overpowering drum track. The Purge leans more on distorted elements, using them to create dynamic movement throughout the track whilst remaining full of that typical Slam groove. Infiltration has clever, inventive FX use to create a warped environment as straight up percussive elements build the drive. Closing out the EP is The Rush a full on and explosive Techno tirade that hit full blast from the start and delivers consistent momentum

Jessica's affinity for darker intonations and rolling bass lines give his sets profound drive and emotion. He has been inspired by artists like Jeff Mills and Chris Liebing. His style balances the sharpness of modern techno with the warmth of 2000’s hard groove and rave tracks. Jessica alternates between industrial rawness and playful minimalism to captivate the listener into a kinetic and tribal trance. His journeys are eclectic and quick-witted, as he weaves together a narrative of sound relying heavily on long blends and balanced unpredictability. Jessica takes you through cycles of glitchy percussion and euphoric synths, culminating in a climactic finale that is both sensual, wet, and animalistic.
