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.

Lars Huismann - Zeitgeist [VAULTREC007]

CVNSUMED is a new character in the game, who you may associate with his previous alias NN, under which he oriented his output to the harder strains of electronic music. His debut in this new incarnation can be read as a conceptual piece, in which even remixes are blended into the narrative in an unusual way.

We dive deep into stuffy, rushing productions with a right dose of spaciousness. All the material is a perfect expression of KYSH's style. Take the highlights – “Mugen” for timeless elegant techno sound or “Gyomatsu” for driving drum machinery and beautiful string motifs. After the oneiric “Togyo” remix coming from BENZA, the subsequent remixes from Sicion and Sept only add to the quality. This EP takes you to atmogroove heaven leaving a taste of precise contemporary sound.
