Slam - Static Form EP 
[@SOMA 507D] 

Slam open the new year on a high after a hugely successful 2017, one that has taken them around the world showcasing the sound of Soma. The new EP, Static Form, continues the duo’s foray into tougher club sounds yet retains the depth and precision that they are known for. 

Opener Solace is a hypnotic journey, set to the backdrop of subtle, ominous pads and a jacking drum track. Fractions & Static Form continue the tripped out vibe of the EP but set their sights firmly at more peak time orientated sounds. Closing out with Disconnect, Slam unleash huge swelling synth hooks and sub heavy drums to power this monster.

TAKAAKI ITOH | DREAMING FESTIVAL 2025

SAMA is the next artist featured in the Artaphine Series. The Dutch producer and DJ focuses on sound design and solid groove to craft techno with an emotional edge. His distinctive approach caught the attention of Secret Cinema and, more recently, Rødhåd — leading to a contribution on one of the WSNWG Various Artist EPs and a feature in Rødhåd’s Fabric mix.

This set showcases the art of an opening performance: a slow, deliberate build using minimalist elements to create an atmosphere that carries the crowd into the early hours — recorded at Club BASIS in Utrecht.

The 59th episode of Schimmer's podcast series was recorded by Berlin-based DJ and promoter Reka Zalan.

Reka is known for hypnotic depths and percussive drives — always tuned to atmosphere and often drawn to the gloomier sides of Techno. Her sets, whether digital or vinyl, move forward, outward, and inward, balancing tension and flow. Deeply rooted in Berlin’s scene, she’s a local Tresor resident, Hard Wax staffer, part of Coppi collective, and former ://elements co-host. Before immersing herself fully into club life, she worked at the Berlin Music Commission. Driven by curiosity and connection, Reka loves building bridges through sound and shared moments.
