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.

PREMIERE: Slam - Irregular Object [SOMADA128]

Release Date: 16.05.2025

Tapefeed present the final chapter of their Evolving Echoes series with a 5-track EP that marks the culmination of a sonic journey dedicated to dancefloor-focused techno. Out May 16 via Inveterate Records, the Evolving Echoes 04 EP also features a standout remix by one of the most exciting names in the contemporary scene: French producer Perfo.

The record opens with "Zero-G", a percussive workout layered with jungle-tinged rhythms and bouncing, mind-massaging sound design. "Levitation Sequence" dives deeper into polyrhythmic territory, its submarine-like motif and unpredictable textures pulling listeners into hypnotic depths. "Voidwalkers" delivers minimal yet immersive techno: a growling bassline and dissonant lead evolve with elegance and tension, while refined drums and suspenseful pads add cinematic flair. With "Drifting Just Above," Tapefeed strike a playful yet driving balance—shuffle-heavy grooves meet mischievous sequences in a track full of hypnotic energy.

Closing the record is Perfo’s "Long Healing Remix" of Drifting Just Above, a deep and dub-influenced reinterpretation. Alien echoes, angelic pads, and an evolving chord pattern unfold over elegant hi-hat patterns and textured sound design—an immersive, raw yet warm composition that stands as a masterful conclusive remix to the series.

BCCO Premiere: Tapefeed - Drifting Just Above (Perfo's Long Healing Remix) [INVTRTEE004]

Artist: Spencer Hardwick
Title: 'Are These My Memories'
Label: VAST Recordings
Cat. #: VAST003
Format: Digital
Release: 16th May,​ ​2025
Pre order: https://weareallvast.bandcamp.com/music

Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Spencer Hardwick' track remixed by Jason Patrick on 'Vast Recordings'.

After leveraging his imprint to provide a platform for deserving talent in techno, VAST Recordings boss Spencer Hardwick has offered up the label's third release. 
The Introspection EP takes clear inspiration from the Blade Runner films and their challenging narrative around self-referentiality. 
It comprises of three original singles as well as two remixes by Jason Patrick and Mike Derer.

Label head Spencer Hardwick, who has previously released on JAK's SubSensory, personifies the VAST ethos with his own captivating version of its artistic philosophy. 
Spencer's electronic music style, which is experimental but true to tradition, creates a cerebral tangent between layers of beautiful, progressive ambiance and artistic, atonal noise. 
Groove is still crucial throughout, and the desire to support and advance the community that has developed around techno is the primary motivator behind this astute balance between what techno is and what it can be.

USA-based Mike Derer kicks off the remixes with over 20 years of industry knowhow from running an artist agency, hosting events and of course beat-making. 
His music can be found on his own Northern Parallels imprint, Myles Sergé's (MS), and also remixing for the likes of A.Paul's Naked Lunch.

Second on remix duty is Jason Patrick from Chicago, who appears following acclaimed releases on iconic labels such as DJ Hyperactive's 4 Track, Submerge's Impact Mechanics, Jeremy P Caulfield's Dumb Unit, and From 0-1.

"Are These My Memories" ushers in Hardwick's body of work with a distinct sense of urgency. 
Wandering synth lines fall and intertwine repeatedly in a hypnotic haze, referencing the cognitive dissonance that might be caused by not trusting one's own memories. 
Unintelligible spoken-word samples only add to the psychological intrigue.

The second track of the EP, "Is This Real" depicts an increasingly tenuous and fleeting grasp of reality. 
Tense arpeggios and melancholic atmospheres evoke a sense of intense introspection and uncertainty.

No concrete resolution lies in store on Hardwick's final track, "Why Can't I Tell Anymore." 
Its warbling melody poses more questions than answers, raising the stakes as each sonic layer enters the arrangement. 
The effort thus opens a door for Hardwick to explore similar themes in upcoming works.

Adding dimension to the EP are accomplished American artists Jason Patrick and Mike Derer. 
Jason's remix reimagines "Are These My Memories" with dubby, reverb-soaked chords, keeping the tempo high while instilling more dynamic intensity throughout his rendition. 
Mike's remix of the same track casts it in a psychedelic light, complete with resonant percussion and glimmering stereo artefacts.

What are our memories? What is reality? What is being alive? How can we know for sure? 
In the Introspection EP, Spencer Hardwick proves himself capable of transmuting such riveting quandaries into music. 
In doing so, he carries forth techno's rich legacy of taking cues from science fiction, hinting at what's to come from his rapidly growing discography.
