about

Slam return to their Soma label with Activate E.P., four tracks of dubbed-out, fervent, hypnotic techno!

Slam continues to evolve their sound with their latest four-track release, Activate EP. Here, the focus is firmly rooted in the subterranean, exploring deeper hypnotic regions with a varied selection of raw, cerebral stripped-out techno.

The title track, "Activate," opens with deep, driving, pulsing rhythms and straightforward percussive elements, led with hypnotic vocal loops. "Quantum" delves deeper as dubbed-out reverb and delay saturate the tripped-out acid bass sounds that flicker into existence as stripped yet effective drums create the intensity. "Somnambulist" continues the stripped-back nature of the EP as subtle changes in FX give the track life while the swelling percussive elements drive the rhythms. "Trsmit" offers up a tougher yet still minimalistic approach to close out the EP. An intense and tension-building atmosphere is created throughout the track as warping synths swell and filter against a backdrop of sparse yet effective percussion."

A solid collaboration where lower-mid synth notes meander in a soundscape with gloomy sounds and drone-like howls leading the listener through a gloom-filled track. Couldn't ask for more from them. secretlifejason
