Slam Biography

Slam
Slam is Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle. Synonymous with Glasgow's underground club scene and their sound-searching record label, Soma, the duo have garnered a reputation as international DJs, accomplished recording artists and respected collaborators. Their schedule regularly takes them to clubs worldwide confirming their status as one of a handful of artists that truly shape their genre. Resident at Fabric, London and Pressure, Glasgow, they are about to undergo their 8th annual Slam tent at Scotland's T in the Park festival (15 000 capacity). YEAR ZERO Slam were nearing the end of their 'Alien Radio' tour when they shared an epiphany. Rather than feeling jaded after trekking around the world at a time when the media were reporting on the so-called "decline of dance music" Slam were fired-up, focused and ready to start work on their third album. The duo had been searching through their record collections collating ideas for a radio one 'Breezeblock' guest show and re-discovered the music that had brought them together in the first place; Tom Tom Club, Funkadelic, Mantronix and urban labels like Celluloid and Sugarhill. This music was Slam's 'year zero', informing their salad days. "It usually takes us ages to make an album," laughs Stuart McMillan, "but we knew what we wanted to do.
