Glaswegians Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle founded Slam at the beginning of the 90s alongside their label Soma Quality Recordings. Slam's second single, 'Positive Education', proved to be a milestone hit and established both Slam and Soma at the forefront of the Scottish techno movement. Both group and label are still going strong today, with Slam having recorded four studio albums and countless singles to this date, and Soma looking back on a glamorous history of breaking artist like Daft Punk, Alex Smoke, Silicone Soul and Funk D'Void.
