LISTEN TO SLAM’S PEAK-TIME TECHNO CUT, ‘CORRIDORS’

Slam return to their own Soma Quality Recordings imprint with their ‘Machine Cut Noise’ album, which is out today (Friday 28th October). We’ve got the exclusive premiere of ‘Corridors’ from it below.

Since starting in 1991, Soma Quality Recordings has been releasing tracks from across the house, techno and tech-house gamut, including the early recordings of Daft Punk, as well as music from Richie Hawtin, Sven Väth, Funk D’Void, H Foundation and, of course, Slam’s own material.

With their new double vinyl album, Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle follow a highly prolific run of singles and remixes, including the critically acclaimed ‘Soma Track Series’. ‘Corridors’ from ‘Machine Cut Noise’ is a slice of pure peak-time techno, built on heavy kicks and an incessant synth stab.
