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.

Slam (aka Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle) are a tour de force on the global techno circuit. Their unique, six deck, back-to-back DJ performances have seen the duo play leading clubs and festivals across the world. They are renowned for both their experience and their powerful, contemporary sound. 

They are co-owners of Glasgow's Riverside Festival, and also host the legendary Maximum Pressure warehouse parties, which showcase the best emerging local talent alongside some of the most established names in international techno.

Their iconic Soma Records label boasts in excess of 600 releases, hosting Mcmillan and Meikle's own productions and many of today's most cutting-edge techno artists.

The last few years have seen some of the duo's most prolific studio output as they continue to innovate and keep things moving forward, most recently with the release of their experimental full length record Athenæum 101. In addition, Slam have also remixed tracks from the likes of Planetary Assault Systems, Clouds, Dax J, Damon Wild, Richie Hawtin, and Truncate, to name just a few. 

Slam also host one of Techno's most respected weekly podcasts, Slam Radio, which has now surpassed over 400 episodes. The show allows the duo to demonstrate their conviction to creating and promoting music and vibes that provide an antidote to the mainstream by inviting fellow artists from the vibrant Techno scene, from obscure names to current trailblazers.

Hailing from Brighton, England, Cage 1 has been deeply embedded in the electronic music scene for over a decade. While his roots are grounded in a love for house music, his true artistic identity lies within the raw, driving energy of underground techno.

Influenced by the pioneers of early Detroit techno as well as modern innovators, Cage 1 has cultivated a signature sound—hypnotic rhythms, rolling drum patterns, and powerful basslines that resonate on a deeper level. His sets are not just performances, but immersive experiences designed to reflect the essence of what he believes is the true techno sound.

Cage 1 has brought his unique energy to some of the UK’s most iconic venues, including EGG London, Ministry of Sound, E1, Patterns, and The Horse & Groom. His talent was further recognized when he won a competition to perform for Mixmag in Manchester. Now a resident DJ for Techno Visions—one of the UK’s most exciting rising techno collectives—Cage 1 continues to push boundaries and inspire dancefloors wherever he plays.
