MIXTAPE PRESENTS SLAM AND OCTOGEN (MARO BERNARDI)

Following on from the rather massive Azure single, Slam bring you their outstanding fourth studio album HUMAN RESPONSE. Not content to stand still, this album sees Stuart McMillan and Orde Meikle pick up the techno baton, twisting the genre even further still, to create a forward-thinking new sound all of their own. These are artists at their creative peak. In this technological age Slam utilise the human touch to inject a myriad of emotions into their electronic machine music. The end result is much more than a collection of tracks. HUMAN RESPONSE flows and grows and, in an era of single track downloads, Slam provide an album that you can listen to from start to finish.

Octogen is the pseudonym of Glasgow producer Marco Bernardi (Soma Records). Widely recognised as one of the most forward thinking electronic producers around at the moment, his releases on Clone, Frustrated Funk and Emoticon have displayed his depth and mastery of his machines. From delicate electronica to razor-sharp electro via pure Detroit techno, Marcos productions are superbly crafted and have a radiance that sets them above the normal. Hes been honing his live set over a number of years at venues around Europe, of which a typical performance incorporates analogue hardware with cutting-edge software in a heady mix which builds from melodic, downtempo electronics to a floor-filling sonic assault. In short, they never fail to rock the spot.
