Biography
Slam, a Scottish electronic music duo from Glasgow, was formed in 1994 by Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle. The pair began their musical journey with a weekly Thursday night event called Black Market at the Glasgow club Fury Murrys, where they played a mix of house, funk, and rap. Their breakthrough came in early 1988 when Steven Sleepman approached them after hearing an acid house track on Radio Clyde. This led to Slam securing a Saturday night residency at Glasgow's Tin Pan Alley. Slam released their first EP, Snapshots, in February 1995, followed by their debut album, Positive Education, in September of the same year. They co-founded Soma Quality Recordings in 1991 with Dave Clarke, which became a pivotal label for electronic music. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Slam released several notable albums, including Headstates (1996), Alien Radio (2001), and Year Zero (2004). Slam's music style, which blends house and techno, has been influential in the electronic music scene. The duo curated events like Pressure at The Arches in Glasgow and Return to Mono at the Sub Club, as well as having residencies at Fabric in London. Slam's impact extended beyond their music releases with notable remixes such as "Drive" by Daft Punk and "Chronologie 6" by Jean-Michel Jarre. They also collaborated with various artists, including Dot Allison on her track "Close Your Eyes". In addition to their musical output, Slam Events was launchedâa subdivision of Soma that deals mainly with the promotion of Slam and Slam nights. This included residencies at Pressure, a monthly event promoted by Soma and Slam Events, which occurred on the last Friday of every month at The Arches in Glasgow. Their residency at fabric in London solidified their status as key figures in the global electronic music scene.
