We've got two amazing tracks for you to check out this time, if you haven't heard them before you're in for a treat! The Pan-Pot lads have definitely excelled as the first guests for Paragraph!



First up is the 'Rave Tool', which sees them unleash a large dose of their typical grit and aggression. True to form, their rumbling sub-bass and stripped percussion warm the flow, letting an off-beat and almost wonky synth pattern work its weight... With an early break-down disrobing and deconstructing the elements, emphasis is on the rhythm, allowing feedback effects to create the subdued tension.



Pan-Pot's 'Bass Tool' sees them work the bass-bins again. With more energy, flare and jack, the Bass Tool steps things up, gathering swing and drive through their intuitive use of delays and reverbs. Sharp synths bring the hysteria of the original Room 2 to the forefront of the mix, to cause the real damage. All in all, Pan-Pot cut their production back to their barest and most effective essentials letting the music do the work.

The ever powerful combination of Funk DVoid and Sian deal out another dose of dance-floor on their latest EP, A Wasp in a Wig. Following on from the success of both the Ginebra and the A Raven Wheeling Overhead EPs this cements their place as heavyweight talents on Soma.

The strikingly titled A Wasp in a Wig grabs the attention with sub-heavy, rumbling bass and wobbly synths, pierced by a very much wasp-like buzz. That buzz sends the track into a spiral before everything kicks back in with the track climaxing in a whirl of dark sound.

2009 was a great year for Slam. Their UK residences at London's Fabric, Glasgow's Pressure and Sub Club were as popular as ever, and the duo enjoyed incredible gigs at many of the worlds finest clubs, including Berghain, Womb, The Loft, Goa and Space.

One of the key highlights of the year was seeing their own Paragraph imprint go from strength to strength. June's 'One Note Samba' / 'Room 2' became an instant summer smash and as the winter months drew in the pair dropped the mighty 'Variance' / 'We Doin' This Again?'. With a roll call of big name support that reads like a 'Who's Who' of modern electronic music, Paragraph has rapidly laid the foundations for what is to be a very successful future.

Today we are treated to another Slam double header, and again two very different tracks. 'Heart Of The Soul' sees them taking a bass- heavy tech-house route. Lashings of groove and a forceful drive, make it a clever tool for the floor. On the flip we have 'Collecting Data'
which, whilst leading us into darker territory with its creepy melody, has a bassline that punches well above its weight in the funk category. Slam at their very best.
