This week’s BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix comes from Soma Records’ label heads
Slam. 2008 has seen Slam explode once more in what has been one of their
busiest years ever. In between constant touring the guys have recently
started their new self-release label Paragraph, focussing on the darker side
of electronic dance music. Paragraph has already been picking up huge plays
with the first single ‘City Destroyer’ and features on this week’s Essential
Mix with upcoming single ‘The One Note Samba’.

Also featured on the mix you can hear an unreleased Joris Voorn remix of
Slam’s ‘Ghost Song’. The guys have been busy working with some of the
world’s biggest producers lately and have remixes currently coming in from
Paul Ritch (Positive Education), Prompt (Ghost Song) and The Black Dog
(Azure), not to mention their own recent remix work for Unkle, Radioslave,
Sasha and Subban,

The Essential Mix broadcast celebrates the 10th birthday of Slam’s legendary
Pressure club nights and the 20th year of Slam long involvement in the
industry, be it throwing roof-raising parties at their club nights,
producing the most forward-thinking house and techno around, working the
talent of their Soma Records roster or simply playing out to their legions
of fans. This is one not to be missed.
