The legendary UK duo, comprising of Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle, have travelled far and wide, leaving scorch marks on dance-floors worldwide, touring Australia, the USA , Europe, South America and Japan. They hold residencies at 3 of the UK's best clubs (Pressure & the Sub Club in their home town of Glasgow and Fabric in London). SLAM ON FIRE: The last few years have been the most prolific period in Slam’s career. Performing dynamic sets at many leading festivals including Time Warp, Mayday. Bestival,, Glade, Awakenings, Glastonbury, Monegros and T In The Park, they have also played at some of the world’s best clubs including the legendary Womb in Tokyo, Cocoon in Frankfurt, Rex in Paris and Berlin's infamous Watergate and Berghain. Their Soma Records label hit its 20th birthday in 2011, which is a great achievement in any industry never mind the fickle music business. In this prestigious year Slam were also nominated as the ‘Greatest Dance Act of All Time’ in the institutional UK Dance music magazine Mixmag. SOMA RECORDS : SLAM are the proud co-owners of Soma, which now in its 21st year, continues to be one of the world’s leading purveyors of cutting edge electronic music. As well as introducing and developing many new acts and album projects, Soma’s recent releases have included singles and remixes from artists including The Black Dog, Adam Beyer, Joris Voorn, Silicone Soul, Gary Beck, Surgeon, Loco Dice, Mark Broom, Nick Curly, Mathias Tanzmann, Pan-Pot, Carl Craig, Radio Slave and Sebo K. Big names. Big tracks !! PARAGRAPH: The first release City Destroyer, with its crisp electronic sound-scapes, secured club plays and support from the likes of Richie Hawtin, Adam Beyer and Laurent Garnier. Since then Paragraph has combined Slam’s love and talents for both Techno & House to great effect. Massive tracks like Hot Knives, Variance, We Doin’ this Again and Room 2 have been working crowds the world over. Next up is the 'Alliances' series, which will be collaborations between Slam and their friends and peers.The first release is with Gary Beck, followed soon by Pan-Pot & Italo Boyz with more to follow. RELEASES & REMIXES: As well as a string of monster tracks on their own Paragraph and Soma labels, this prolific period has seen Slam releasing singles and remixing on other imprints including Planet E, Figure, Ovum, and Mobilee. Slam have also been tied closely with Drumcode, most recently destroying dance-floors with Vespula , the 5th Slam single for Adam Beyer. The duo have also remixed Spencer Parker, Christian Smith, Josh Wink, Paul Ritch, Pan-Pot, Radio Slave & Paperclip People, many of which are combined with Slam’s Paragraph, Figure and Drumcode singles on the Soma-released Slam album “Collecting Data”. Radioslave: “No matter what sounds you profess to be your music of choice, chances are, that at some point over the last five years, you will have got your rocks off to Matt Edwards.” Introduction: So let’s begin. Radio Slave – aka Matt Edwards - is a man whose talent doesn’t seem to end. His productions, remixes and DJ sets have only one aim: to make you move - inside and out. Originally from Brighton in the UK, Radio Slave re-located to the natural home of the electronic movement this past Decade, Berlin, in 2008. Creation: Radio Slave’s productions never miss a beat because his ideas never stop. His Rekids ‘No Sleep’ EP series, beginning in 2006 and currently on Part Six, are always highly anticipated and highly coveted. They include essential DJ cuts like ‘Screaming Hands’ (which got the remix treatment from Josh Wink), ‘Tantakatan’ and ‘Koma Koma’ (made essential New Tune by Pete Tong). Radio Slave’s main EP releases of last year, ‘Bell Clap Dance’ and ‘Grindhouse’ (Feat Danton Eeeprom / with a remix from Dubfire) became two of the biggest dance records of 2008. He also works under the nom de guerres Quiet Village (with an album out on !K7 in 2008), Rekid, Matthew E and Sea Devils – with musical styles ranging from spaced-out stoner funk to propulsive dancefloor monsters, and from intricate widescreen cinerama to blissful electronic pop. Radio Slave was also named, by the UK’s DJ Mag, as the ‘Producer Of The Year’ in 2008. Transformation: Classed as one of the greatest remixers of all time, Radio Slave’s remixes – including artists like Talking Heads, Danny Tenaglia, Kylie Minogue, Carl Craig, Trentmoller, DJ Hell, Tiefschwarz, Gwen Stefani, Le Noir, Sir Elton John and Sasha – deconstruct and reconstruct the original inspiration into explosive compositions that become his own and step up the game with each re-work. Movement: Radio Slave holds a quarterly label residency at Panorama Bar in Berlin (recently voted number one club in the world), DJs at Fabric exclusively in London and tours the world every week – including Europe, USA, Asia, Ibiza (gigs at Cocoon and Space this summer) and every festival that counts. Base: Rekids, run by Radio Slave and James Masters, arrived in May 2006 with Radio Slave’s own ‘My Bleep’ setting the standard. As well as Radio Slave’s own releases, the label has since released EPs and Long Players from the likes of Toby Tobias, Mr G, Luke Solomon, Matt O’Brien, Spencer Parker, Jjak Hogan, Runaway, two label compilations and Radio Slave’s own ‘Works!’ compilation coming in 2010 – a 3 x CD of some of his best and most recent remix work.
