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.
