This new album on Resist was just something else for me. I'd love to know what ppl think of these two. I remember being in the back of a truck with them for a Mid-West Drop Bass party in the 90's and they were totally sound guys.
Scotland's best exports bar none imo.
Repsect to Slam. Positive Education indeed ;)
Hmmmm..havent heard the new album yet, but I do have some of their stuff in my collection and have always liked their work. The Alien Radio album is one that I still listen to on occassion. I also remember going crazy looking for Positive Education....such a quality tune :clap:
used to love their productions a few years ago but hated their dj sets.
saw them a couple of weeks ago though and they were fantastic :clap:
everyone with me (who doesnt normally like them) really enjoyed them too
seriously lost it for me the Slam boys, they played up here not long ago and it was the worst Dj set ive seen this year, too much of that wishy washy throwaway electro/house stuff, the really poor stuff too. Production wise they know what they are doing obviously but content wise doesnt grab me anymore, too many of those big basslines and they rode the wave of Postive Education a little too much imo
best export from Scotland? what!? Mark, come on!
Glencross, Landstrumm, Stephen Brown plus others stand way above Slam imo! ;)
Their productions aren't even worth checking anymore for me.
Good DJs.
Soma is an awful label these days.
Yeah, I used to love em, but some of their recent pop music, ibiza stuff is just weak.
For a track that had a lot to thank "Altered States" for, they sure did well from "Positive Education" alright. It's still a cool tune though ;)
mate I quite like this too, the second cd especiallyQuote:

That's a great mix (if it's the one I'm thinking of...). A lot of well-mixed techno and house - I may have it, but not sure how I could get it to you.

Get your arse up!!.

Sets are poo. Some ok tunes made them back yonder.
get back is wicked
jurys deffo out on these chaps.....
love PE,eterna and loads of there old stuff but i think a lot of the stuff they put out thesedays is really gash.
dj sets wise they never really impressed me until i saw them do a 4 hour set at 'intergalactic funk' in manchester about 3 years ago and they were awesome. one of the sickest sets i saw that year,really raw hard techno. they were mint.
fulll respect for what theyve done for dance music though. :cool:
i go to pressure a lot and i must say slam blow hot and cold, but mostly cold.
yup theyr the commercial side of scottish techno.......awful scene IMO.....slam are defo talented in production no doubt about it.....but i still woudlnt go see em.Quote:

sekon(z)ded
only seen them dj a few times, not really my bag at all and their recent productions are on the verge of being proggy electro house piss
theyve made some memorable techno and spread the word pretty well with their established nights and on their travels, so i have respect for them defs
