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.

Premiere: Slam "Morganatic" - Soma Records

Argentinian-born and Milan-based, Yamila’s personality was moulded by South American tribal rhythms, progressive rock synths, and dreamy sounds from alternative and electronic music. Shifting her choir experience into her sets, vocals and chorus became a core feature of her musical identity: a proper voice in the flow designed for the dancefloor.
 
After 5 years of delving deep into Berlin’s techno culture, she brought back in Italy her emotional approach to music, slowly paving her way into the electronic music scene both as an organiser and a DJ.
 
In 2021 she became resident DJ and active member of Closer, an authentic institution for inclusive and immersive party seekers: playing at Masada and Amelia, collaborating with high-calibre crews such as Bassiani, Tresor, Fuse, Vault Sessions and Meat Free, and sharing the booth with exquisite international DJs allowed her to develop a tight bond and an extraordinary sensitivity towards the dancefloor and its fluctuating moods.
 
A mélange of evocative descriptors encapsulates Yamila’s auditory signature: passionate beats, uplifting grooves, peak-hour frequencies, drum-fuelled rhythms. But most of all, the essence of her sound cross-pollinates a wide spectrum of feelings and emotions, framed in an ethereal atmosphere and directed to touch your soul like a loving caress.

PREMIERE: Slam - Irregular Object [SOMADA128]

Mark Henning | Sunday Slide
[soma348d]
 
1.	Sunday Slide
2.	You’re Digging Into Me
3.	Royal Flush

Mark Henning makes a welcome return to Soma Records with the sublime Sunday Slide. A multi faceted release that definitely has something for everyone!
Title track Sunday Slide' is fantastic, deep affair. A simplistic house beat is slowly added to by well-crafted synth work that opens and flows perfectly throughout the track. 
On the flip, 'You're Digging Into Me', is a catchy house number with a baseline that is sure to stick in your head! Mark crafts another deep groove that sits perfectly beneath a funked out baseline tripped out by feedback delays. This is a perfect mid set track to get the dance floor moving!
Closing out the EP is 'Royal Flush' which straddles the boundaries between House and Techno. A bouncing yet deep groove works this track with almost discordant stabs flickering throughout give the track a very eerie, dark edge.
Mark once again shows his skills as a producer who can easily manipulate & merge sound to forge his own unique style.
