Slam is a tour de force on the global Techno circuit. The duo’s unique, 6 deck, back-to-back DJ sets and explosive live gigs have seen them wreak havoc in clubs and festivals across the world for over 3 decades. Pioneers and innovators of the electronic music scene, Slam’s Orde Meikle and Stuart McMillan are renowned for their experience as well as for their powerful, contemporary sound.
Their iconic Soma Records label boasts more than a thousand releases in its 35-year history, and the pair hold a longstanding residency at Sub Club, dealing out a monthly supply of raw, hypnotic and real Techno. Slam have a real conviction and commitment to supporting underground talent while providing an antidote to the mainstream.
Support comes from a fine array of our city's Techno community with a series of specially curated back to back performances from Gary Beck + Co-Accused, Nightwave + Posthuman, Quail + LAZLO and Kairogen + Fear E, representing the underground culture of Glasgow with these selectors regularly featuring at grass roots venues including The Sub Club, The Berkeley Suite, La Cheetah and club nights Animal Farm, I Love Acid, Nightrave, Return to Mono and 313 Connection.
